What a wonderful two people (ahem, bears), if you get a chance see 2 bears live their just so full of love
and happiness. Here's a great disco jam from their new album the night is young.
Intro is a quick run of the chords used, listen to the track for the timing, or just skip it, it works just 
the same for singing along!
Intro - F#m, E, D, Bm, E (hold) (i give my guitar base a little slap as the intro snare)
F#m
F#mIt took a while to mend this broken heart of mine
F#mThe memories expand and fill the space and time
BI was living in a world dressed in disguise
F#mWith your cover blown you had no place to hide
And I waDs only trying tAo mind my own busF#miness
F#m
F#mI can't believe I caught you out there playing games
F#mThe more you try denying the more you fan the flames
BIt's no more living in the world dressed in disguise
F#mWith your cover blown you had no place to hide
And I waDs only trying tAo mind my own busF#miness
