[Intro]
G
[Verse 1]
GIt's probably now that I need you the most
When I'm oDne half child and the other ghost
And Done of 'em wants to pull you close and the Cadd9other to let you go
Cadd9Time's criminal love heart won
And loGve defies everyone
InsDide my skin, a skeleton is waCadd9rming up his actG  
[Verse 2]
GThough my body's my dog and my friend doesn't bite
Though he lDooks severe and erudite
A Dhundred degrees Fahrenheit he's as cCadd9ool as an ermine
If Cadd9one of these is the poison cup and mGy acceptance seems abrupt
But iDf you're gonna line 'em up, well I Cadd9have to knock 'em doGwn
[Instrumental]
G   D   Cadd9   G   D   Cadd9   G
[Verse 3]
GWell there's nothing so wrong that what's right can't fix
DespDite how blood and water mix and Dwhen a pony runs out of tricks and his Cadd9work has just begun
Now Cadd9lord, duty bade me fight
Just a loGnely impulse of delight and bDalancing had brought to mind
The yDears to come, the years behind
Will I Dgrow weary of the sun, reDmembering what I have done with Cadd9old mythologies?G  
[Chorus 1]
GYou gotta Dchoose
You CwanGted the CsonGg to reAm7scue us
Amadd9A   -  Ammy,   Cwhat did yGou leDave for us?
So we could get homeG  
[Instrumental]
G   D   Cadd9   G   D   Cadd9   G
[Verse 4]
GSolomon sang Sheba's grace and he Dkissed her soft and sulking face
If Done of us has to leave this place, will the Cadd9other come along?
Cadd9We been on the round and round
ShGared our kisses by the pound and cDhased our shadows on the ground
SpDilled our cups in China town
Put up Dthe moon, took down the sun
PlDayed our songs for everyone
RememDbering what we had done with oCadd9ld mythologiesG  
[Chorus 2]
GYou gotta Dchoose
You CwanGted the CsonGg to reAm7scue us
Amadd9A   -  Ammy,   Cwhat did yGou leDave for us?
So we could get homeG  
So we could get homeG

[Intro]

[Verse 1]

It's probably now that I need you the most

When I'm one half child and the other ghost

D Cadd9

And one of 'em wants to pull you close and the other to let you go

Cadd9

Time's criminal love heart won

And love defies everyone

D Cadd9 G

Inside my skin, a skeleton is warming up his act

[Verse 2]

Though my body's my dog and my friend doesn't bite

Though he looks severe and erudite

D Cadd9

A hundred degrees Fahrenheit he's as cool as an ermine

Cadd9 G

If one of these is the poison cup and my acceptance seems abrupt

D Cadd9 G

But if you're gonna line 'em up, well I have to knock 'em down

[Instrumental]

G D Cadd9 G D Cadd9 G

[Verse 3]

Well there's nothing so wrong that what's right can't fix

D D Cadd9

Despite how blood and water mix and when a pony runs out of tricks and his work has just begun

Cadd9

Now lord, duty bade me fight

G D

Just a lonely impulse of delight and balancing had brought to mind

The years to come, the years behind

D D Cadd9 G

Will I grow weary of the sun, remembering what I have done with old mythologies?

[Chorus 1]

G D

You gotta choose

You wanted the song to rescue us

A - my, what did you leave for us?

So we could get home

If one of us has to leave this place, will the other come along?

Shared our kisses by the pound and chased our shadows on the ground

Spilled our cups in China town

Put up the moon, took down the sun

Played our songs for everyone

Remembering what we had done with old mythologies

[Chorus 2]

G D

You gotta choose

C G C G Am7

You wanted the song to rescue us
