FNice to meet you

And you love the game
FCause we're young and we're reckless
We'll take this way too far

FScreaming, crying, perfect storms
I can make all the tables tDmurn
Rose garden filled with thorns
Keep you second guessing like Bboh my god
Who is she? I get drunk on jealousy

[Verse]
LAooking at it now
It all seems so Esimple
We were F#mlying on your couch
I remDember
You took a PAolaroid of us
Then discEovered
The rest of the F#mworld was black and white
But we were in scrDeaming color and I remember thinking
[Chorus]
AAre we out of the woods yet, are we out of the woods yet,
are we out of the woods yet, are we out of the woEods
Are we in the clear yet, are we in the clear yet, are we in the clear yet ?
In the clear yet ? GF#mood
Are we out of the woods yet, are we out of the woods yet,
are we out of the woods yet, are we out of the woDods
Are we in the clear yet, are we in the clear yet, are we in the clear yet ?
In the clear yet ? GAood
[Verse]
LAooking at it now
Last DeceEmber
We were bF#muilt to fall apart
Then fall back togDether
Your necklace hAanging from my neck
The night we couldn't quite forget, when we deEcided, we decided
To move the F#mfurniture so we could dance, baby like we stood a chance
Two paper aDirplanes flying, flying, flying and I remember thinking
[Chorus]
AAre we out of the woods yet, are we out of the woods yet,
are we out of the woods yet, are we out of the woEods
Are we in the clear yet, are we in the clear yet, are we in the clear yet ?
In the clear yet ? GF#mood
Are we out of the woods yet, are we out of the woods yet,
are we out of the woods yet, are we out of the woDods
Are we in the clear yet, are we in the clear yet, are we in the clear yet ?
In the clear yet ? GAood
[Bridge]
ARemember when you hit the brakes too soon, 20 stitches in a hospital roEom
When you started crying, baby I did too, but when the sun came up, I was looking at F#myou
Remember when we couldn't take the heat, I walked out, I said I'm setting you frDee
But the monsters turned out to be just trees, when the sun came up, you were looking at mAe
You were looking at mEe, you were looking at F#mme
I remeDmber, oh I remember
[Chorus]
AAre we out of the woods yet, are we out of the woods yet,
are we out of the woods yet, are we out of the woEods
Are we in the clear yet, are we in the clear yet, are we in the clear yet ?
In the clear yet ? GF#mood
Are we out of the woods yet, are we out of the woods yet,
are we out of the woods yet, are we out of the woDods
Are we in the clear yet, are we in the clear yet, are we in the clear yet ?
In the clear yet ? GAood
AAre we out of the woods yet, are we out of the woods yet,
are we out of the woods yet, are we out of the woEods
Are we in the clear yet, are we in the clear yet, are we in the clear yet ?
In the clear yet ? GF#mood
Are we out of the woods yet, are we out of the woods yet,
are we out of the woods yet, are we out of the woDods
Are we in the clear yet, are we in the clear yet, are we in the clear yet ?

Meant just for you
CTime moved too fast
You play it back
EmButtons on a coat
Lighthearted joke

Coffee at midnight
CThe light reflects
The chain on your neck
EmHe says look up
And your shoulders brush
CNo proof, one touch
But you felt enough

CYou can feel it on the way home, way home
EmYou could see it with the lights out, lights out
You are in lCove, true love
You are in lGove

GMorning, his place
Burnt toast, sunday
CYou keep his shirt
He keeps his word
EmAnd for once you let go
Of your fears, your ghosts
COne step, not much, but it said enough
GYou kiss on sidewalks
You fight then you talk
COne night he wakes, strange look, his face
EmPauses, then says, you're my best friend
CYou knew what it was, he is in love

CHe keeps a picture of you in his office downtown
EmAnd you understand now why they lost their minds and fought the wars
CAnd why I spent my whole life try to put it into words
