[Intro]
 G   G   Bm   Ax2
[Verse]
  GDo you remember the Gtaste of my lips that Bmnight
I stole a bit of my Amother's perfume
  GCause I remember when my Gfather put his fist through
The Bmwall that separated the Adining room
  GAnd I remember the Gfear in your eyes
The vBmery first time we Asnuck into the city pool
  GLate December with my Gheart in my chest and the Bmclouds of my breath
Didn't Aknow where we were running to
  ABut don't look back
[Chorus]
We'll be looking for Gsunlight
Or the Gheadlights
Till our Bmwide eyes burn Ablind
We'll be lacing the Gsame shoes
That we've Gworn through
To the Bmbottom of the Aline
And we know that we're Gheadstrong
And our Gheart's gone
And the Bmtiming's never Aright
But for Gnow let's get Gaway
On a BmRoman holiAday
[Break]
G G Bm A
[Verse]
  GCould you imagine the Gtaste of your lips
If we Bmnever tried to kiss on the Adrive to Queen's
  GCause I imagine the Gweight of your ribs
If you Bmlied between my hips in the Abackseat
  GI imagine the Gtears in your eyes
The Bmvery first night I'll Asleep without you
  GAnd when it happens I'll be Gmiles away
And a Bmfew months late
Didn't Aknow where I was running to
  ABut I won't look back
[Chorus]
We'll be looking for Gsunlight
Or the Gheadlights
Till our Bmwide eyes burn Ablind
We'll be lacing the Gsame shoes
That we've Gworn through
To the Bmbottom of the Aline
And we know that we're Gheadstrong
And our Gheart's gone
And the Bmtiming's never Aright
But for Gnow let's get Gaway
On a BmRoman holiAday

Till our wide eyes burn blind
We'll be lacing the Gsame shoes

And our Gheart's gone
And the Bmtiming's never Aright

Capo 3

[Intro]

G G Bm A

[Verse]

G G Bm

Do you remember the taste of my lips that night

I stole a bit of my mother's perfume

G G

Cause I remember when my father put his fist through

Bm A

The wall that separated the dining room

G G

And I remember the fear in your eyes

Bm A

The very first time we snuck into the city pool

G G Bm

Late December with my heart in my chest and the clouds of my breath

Didn't know where we were running to

But don't look back

[Chorus]

We'll be looking for sunlight

Or the headlights

Bm A

Till our wide eyes burn blind

We'll be lacing the same shoes

That we've worn through

Bm A

To the bottom of the line

And we know that we're headstrong

And our heart's gone

Bm A

And the timing's never right

G G

But for now let's get away

Bm A

On a Roman holiday

[Break]

G G Bm A

[Verse]

G G

Could you imagine the taste of your lips

Bm A

If we never tried to kiss on the drive to Queen's

G G

Cause I imagine the weight of your ribs

Bm A

If you lied between my hips in the backseat

G G

I imagine the tears in your eyes

Bm A

The very first night I'll sleep without you

G G

And when it happens I'll be miles away

And a few months late

Didn't know where I was running to

But I won't look back

[Chorus]

We'll be looking for sunlight

Or the headlights

Bm A

Till our wide eyes burn blind

We'll be lacing the same shoes

That we've worn through

Bm A

To the bottom of the line

And we know that we're headstrong

And our heart's gone

Bm A

And the timing's never right

G G

But for now let's get away

Bm A

On a Roman holiday

[Break]

G G Bm A

[Bridge]

Keep close, stand tall

Till our wide eyes burn blind

We'll be lacing the same shoes

And our heart's gone

And the timing's never right

But for now let's get away
