D    G    D     G
AWell we haven't got all night
EmCome on and raise a toast
GWe're only one time aiming for the sunD  
AThought weâd be grinding all our gears
EmTil we're giving up the ghost
GAnd grieving from the ties that we'd undoneD  
GI'm still staring at the sky, like at the startD  
GWith all these heavy Danchors on my Aheart
GBut they don't suit me, babe, like Dbefore
GThey don't suit me like they did Dbefore
GAlways waving flags and waging Dwars
GBut it don't suit me like Dbefore
GIt don't suit me like Dbefore
AWell folks like me and you
EmWe don't know how to call a truce
GAnd when we canât lose the fight, we just lose Dtouch
ASo we sit comparing scars
EmStrumming on the stars
GAnd leaning on the oldest, Dclosest crutch
GDon't let me turn to Ddust to turn a phrase
DCould you help me wash these years off of my Aface?
GBut they don't suit me, babe, like Dbefore
GThey don't suit me like they did Dbefore
GAlways waving flags and waging Dwars
GBut it don't suit me like Dbefore
GIt don't suit me like Dbefore
GI used to have a prisoner's point of Dview
GNow I only care for being Dseen by youA  
GBut they don't suit me, babe, like Dbefore
GThey don't suit me like they did Dbefore
GAlways waving flags and waging Dwars
GBut it don't suit me like Dbefore
GIt don't suit me like Dbefore
GBut it don't suit me like Dbefore
GIt don't suit me like Dbefore

D G D G

Well we haven't got all night

Come on and raise a toast

G D

We're only one time aiming for the sun

Thought weâd be grinding all our gears

Til we're giving up the ghost

G D

And grieving from the ties that we'd undone

G D

I'm still staring at the sky, like at the start

G D A

With all these heavy anchors on my heart

G D

But they don't suit me, babe, like before

G D

They don't suit me like they did before

G D

Always waving flags and waging wars

G D

But it don't suit me like before

G D

It don't suit me like before

Well folks like me and you

We don't know how to call a truce

G D

And when we canât lose the fight, we just lose touch

So we sit comparing scars

Strumming on the stars

G D

And leaning on the oldest, closest crutch

G D

Don't let me turn to dust to turn a phrase

D A

Could you help me wash these years off of my face?

G D

But they don't suit me, babe, like before

G D

They don't suit me like they did before

G D

Always waving flags and waging wars

G D

But it don't suit me like before

G D

It don't suit me like before

I used to have a prisoner's point of view

G D A

Now I only care for being seen by you

But they don't suit me, babe, like before

They don't suit me like they did before

Always waving flags and waging wars

G D

But it don't suit me like before

It don't suit me like before

But it don't suit me like before

It don't suit me like before
