Am Dm Am G
Thinking back, it seems that I can lie beside you like I never truly did
F G Am
In afterglow - no afterwords at all.
Am F/A Am F/A Am G
Only writing love songs when it's gone and dead
F Dm/A F Dm/A F Em
only paying words out, strings of half-forgotten sentiment.

I never really quite could say the way it was.
Am F
The first time that we met I thought 'I bet that she's the one"
E4 E7E
but I was talking to myself than, as always.
Am F
As time went by our steps entwined, unwritten lines grew taut, and I
E4 E7E
tried to find a way to make it all safe.
Am G
Into the play - what a production!
F E
Into the days and ever more suction
Am G
You hold me close, hold me farther
F E
away from yourself - I make me a martyr,
Am G F E
for pain and love go hand in hand...
Am F
And hand in hand go you and my friend, you are his and I am yours
E4 E7 E
and I just cannot evade you.
Am F
My days are dream, my nights unseemly, stolen moments all I live for,
E4 E7 E
but theft is no way to persuade you
Am G
to come with me, leave him behind you,
F E
my hurtful eyes try to remind you,
Am G
it's all I can do to keep on screaming
F E
'I love you, I love you!' - I wish I were dreaming,
Em D C B
but the steps we take all leave footprints.
D G/D D G/D D G/D D G/D D
Sooner or later the whole thing will be blown
A D/A A D/AA A D/AA A
You will leave him or I'll be left here, alone.
D G/D D G/D D G/D D G/D
Either way someone loses someone
G C/D G C/G G C/G G A
I don't mind that, I just would quite like to know who we love the most,
A
but I guess that's ourselves.
Am F
The days are strange, at night we're stangers, lie in bed and lie inside
E4 E7E
our heads, we come no closer than as dancers.
Am F
Your eyes are change, your presence danger, won't look me in the eye and
E4 E7E
yet you kiss, and make up the answer
Am G
to all the questions that lie unanswered, unreasoned,
F E
death in the sky, death in the season,
Am G
if you leave me now, it might nearly kill me
F
Remember me?
E
Remember we three?
Em D C B
It all seemed so important at the time
Em D C B
We came so close to wrecking all our lives
Em D C B
And now it's all just song lines...
Em D C B
Time heals,
Em D C B
Time heals...
Em D C B
oh, but I still bear the weals...
