Back then it almDmost felt
Heaven sA#ent
With slGmow dancing models
In a chiAmlds ornament
Kept spiDmnning our heads full of stA#ars
Dont knGmow what we had
But we kAmnew it was ours
With one haDmnd on the small of her A#back
The othGmer in hers, as we moAmved to the track
That was playDming in our heads all alA#ong
The symphGmony silent, a beAmautiful song
We were lovDmers, we were doomed from the stA#art
It was alGml broken clockwork, the dAmancers both fall apart
Maybe it wDmas a dream, and A#I just woke up
The gDmirl sits alone with her A#art
SeeGmms her words are the only way
To meAmnd her broken heart
Like her lDmife is the fiction not fA#ound
Her real imGmage in writing is stAmaring straight back
Her protaDmgonist has broken hoA#pe
The typeGmwriter pause, then the worAmds come out slowly
Like tearDmdrops, fall on the paA#ge
In an insGmtant her soul, relAmeased from its cage
She wrote
You were laDmying there dying
Like the eA#nd of a western
Saying tGmell me what europe is lAmike
I said tDmell me yourself, we can gA#o when you feel right
At the cDmoast, every star seems so neA#ar
But you wouGmldn't know each, had been gAmone all those years
And the ocDmean rose on like a drA#eam
And inGmto the distance, forAmever it seems

Chords in this song · guitar

Back then it almost felt

Heaven sent

With slow dancing models

In a childs ornament

Dm A#

Kept spinning our heads full of stars

Dont know what we had

But we knew it was ours

Dm A#

With one hand on the small of her back

Gm Am

The other in hers, as we moved to the track

Dm A#

That was playing in our heads all along

Gm Am

The symphony silent, a beautiful song

Dm A#

We were lovers, we were doomed from the start

Gm Am

It was all broken clockwork, the dancers both fall apart

Dm A#

Maybe it was a dream, and I just woke up

Dm A#

The girl sits alone with her art

Seems her words are the only way

To mend her broken heart

Dm A#

Like her life is the fiction not found

Gm Am

Her real image in writing is staring straight back

Dm A#

Her protagonist has broken hope

Gm Am

The typewriter pause, then the words come out slowly

Dm A#

Like teardrops, fall on the page

Gm Am

In an instant her soul, released from its cage

She wrote

You were laying there dying

Like the end of a western

Gm Am

Saying tell me what europe is like

Dm A#

I said tell me yourself, we can go when you feel right

Dm A#

At the coast, every star seems so near

Gm Am

But you wouldn't know each, had been gone all those years

Dm A#

And the ocean rose on like a dream

Gm Am

And into the distance, forever it seems
