[Verse 1]
I've Bmhardly been outA/C#side my room in Ddays,
'cause i don't Bmfeel that i dA/C#eserve the sunshine's Drays.
The darkness Bmhelped until the A/C#whiskey wore aDway,
It was then I rBmealised the coA/C#nscience never faDdes.
When you're Bmyoung you have this A/C#image of your Dlife,
that you'll be Bmscrupulous and A/C#one day even make a Dwife.
And you'll make Bmboundaries you A/C#never dream to Dcross,
and if you Bmhappen to you A/C#wake completely Dlost.
[Bridge]
But I will Gfight for Ayou,
be Bmsure that Ai will Gfight until we're the Bmspecial two Aonce GagainA.
[Chorus]
And Bmwe will only Aneed each other we'll Dbleed together, our Ghands will not be 
Bmtaught to hold Aanother's,
'Cause we're the Dsus4special twDo.
And Bmwe could only Asee each other, we'll Dbreathe together, these Garms will 
not be Bmtaught to need Aanother's,
'Cause we're the Dsus4special twoD.
Bm A D G Bm A Dsus4 D
[Verse 2]
I reBmmember someone oA/C#ld once said to Dme,
that 'lies will Bmlock you up with A/C#truth the only keDy'.
But I was Bmcomfortable and wA/C#arm inside my Dshell,
and couldn't Bmsee this place coulA/C#d soon become Dmy hell.
So is it better to Bmtell and hurt or A/C#lie to save their Dface?
Well i guess the aBmnswer is don't A/C#do it in the Dfirst place.
I know i'm not Bmdeserving of your A/C#trust from you right Dnow,
Oh, but if by Bmchance you change your Amind you know i Dsus4will not Dlet you dGown
'Cause we were the Bmspecial twoA, and will be GagaiAn.
[Chorus]
And Bmwe will only Aneed each other we'll blDeed together, our hGands will not be 
Bmtaught to hold Aanother's,
'Cause we're the Dsus4special twDo.
And Bmwe could only Asee each other, we'll Dbreathe together, these Garms will 
not be Bmtaught to need Aanother's,
'Cause we're the Gspecial twAo.
I step Emoutside my minds Aeye's for a miBmnute
And i look over mEme like a doctor lAooking for disease or sBmomething 
that could ease the pain.
But nothing Emcures the hurt Ayou,
F#7Bring on by yourGself,
Just remembering, just Aremembering how we DwereA  
[Final Chorus]
And Bmwe would only Aneed each other we'd Dbleed together, these Ghands would not be 
Bmtaught to hold Aanother's,
'Cause we're the Dsus4special twDo.
And Bmwe could only Asee each other, we'd Dbreathe together, these Garms will 
not be Bmtaught to need Aanother's,
'Cause we're the Dsus4special twoD.  Dsus4  D

[Verse 1]

Bm A/C# D

I've hardly been outside my room in days,

Bm A/C# D

'cause i don't feel that i deserve the sunshine's rays.

Bm A/C# D

The darkness helped until the whiskey wore away,

Bm A/C# D

It was then I realised the conscience never fades.

Bm A/C# D

When you're young you have this image of your life,

Bm A/C# D

that you'll be scrupulous and one day even make a wife.

Bm A/C# D

And you'll make boundaries you never dream to cross,

Bm A/C# D

and if you happen to you wake completely lost.

[Bridge]

G A

But I will fight for you,

Bm A G Bm A G A

be sure that i will fight until we're the special two once again.

[Chorus]

Bm A D G

And we will only need each other we'll bleed together, our hands will not be

Bm A

taught to hold another's,

Dsus4 D

'Cause we're the special two.

Bm A D G

And we could only see each other, we'll breathe together, these arms will

Bm A

not be taught to need another's,

Dsus4 D

'Cause we're the special two.

Bm A D G Bm A Dsus4 D

[Verse 2]

Bm A/C# D

I remember someone old once said to me,

Bm A/C# D

that 'lies will lock you up with truth the only key'.

Bm A/C# D

But I was comfortable and warm inside my shell,

Bm A/C# D

and couldn't see this place could soon become my hell.

Bm A/C# D

So is it better to tell and hurt or lie to save their face?

Bm A/C# D

Well i guess the answer is don't do it in the first place.

Bm A/C# D

I know i'm not deserving of your trust from you right now,

Bm A Dsus4 D G

Oh, but if by chance you change your mind you know i will not let you down

Bm A G A

'Cause we were the special two, and will be again.

[Chorus]

Bm A D G

And we will only need each other we'll bleed together, our hands will not be

Bm A

taught to hold another's,

Dsus4 D

'Cause we're the special two.

Bm A D G

And we could only see each other, we'll breathe together, these arms will

Bm A

not be taught to need another's,

G A

'Cause we're the special two.

Em A Bm

I step outside my minds eye's for a minute

Em A Bm

And i look over me like a doctor looking for disease or something

that could ease the pain.

Em A

But nothing cures the hurt you,

F#7 G

Bring on by yourself,

A D A

Just remembering, just remembering how we were

[Final Chorus]

Bm A D G

And we would only need each other we'd bleed together, these hands would not be

Bm A

taught to hold another's,

Dsus4 D

'Cause we're the special two.

Bm A D G

And we could only see each other, we'd breathe together, these arms will

Bm A

not be taught to need another's,

Dsus4 D Dsus4 D

'Cause we're the special two.
