[Intro]
Abm  E  B F#
[Verse 1]
I remember Abmdancing in the pouring rain
Calling you Eup just to say your name
We felt like Blovers
We felt like F#lovers
Reaching for your Abmhand when you pulled away
Every time i’d Eleave you beg me to stay
We felt like Blovers
Living life under F#covers
[Pre-Chorus]
We sailed through Abmlove and war we’d fight
for everything and Emore to save the night
The night was all we Bsaw
And thats what the darkness is F#for
[Chorus]
Look at the C#mtime and the time that it's taken
Is this the Elove like the love we were making
When we were Blovers
When we were F#lovers
[Verse 2]
Two hearts Abmbeating in stereo
We never needed Emaps to tell us where to go
We followed the Bstars
But they took us too F#far
[Pre-Chorus]
We sailed through Abmlove and war we’d fight
for everything and Emore to save the night
The night was all we Bsaw
And thats what the darkness is F#for
[Chorus]
Look at the C#mtime and the time that it's taken
Is this the Elove like the love we were making
When we were Blovers
When we were F#lovers
[Bridge]
Giving it C#mall as everything we were giving
Living for each Eother was while we were living
When we were Blovers
Living Life under F#covers
  EHere we Bare,  C#mslowly falling G#mapart
EEvery broken Bpromise is a broken F#heart
[Chorus]
Look at the C#mtime and the time that it's taken
Is this the Elove like the love we were making
When we were Blovers
When we were F#lovers
[Bridge]
Giving it C#mall as everything we were giving
Living for each Eother was while we were living
When we were Blovers
Living Life under F#covers
It felt like Eooooh
It felt like EoooohB
