Chords are relative to capo and the capo is on the 3rd fret. My music theory is terrible, but I think the
song is in the key of C.
[Verse 1]
A Aphased golden light
Rained down from the F#mstreet light
It fell across your Bmshoulder
Paused just above your Ecollar
Like it had something to Ashow me
As if I wasn't already F#mnoticing
Your eyes a shade of Bmwonder
Like if thunder had a Ecolor
[Chorus]
It could have been Aharmless
Wanting to F#msee
If I could get a little Bmcloser
And walk away Ebreathing
It might've been Acheating
Where exactly is the F#mline?
Too early to Bmadmit it
I wanted you for Emine
[Verse 2]
I kissed Maria in the Aalley
You laughed and spilled your F#mwhiskey
There's some I can't Bmremember
A talented Ebartender
And way out in the Acheap seats
The stars stared F#munblinking
The ones that knoBmw anything
Won't be Erevealing
[Chorus]
It could have been Aharmless
Wanting to F#msee
If I could get a little Bmcloser
And walk away Ebreathing
It might've been Acheating
Where exactly is the F#mline?
Too early to Bmadmit it
I wanted you for Emine
[Bridge]
There was a Gsword in my Adrink
GEverything's a sign, if you Awant it to be
And you Ewant it to be
[Chorus]
It could have been Aharmless
Wanting to F#msee
If I could get a little Bmcloser
And walk away Ebreathing
It might've been Acheating
Where exactly is the F#mline?
Too early to Bmadmit it
I wanted you for Emine
It could've been GharmlessF#m  C#m  
It could've been GharmlessF#m  A  
I'm pretty sure that C#m chord ain't right, so Amanda if you see this TELL ME WHAT IT IS.

song is in the key of C.

[Verse 1]

A phased golden light

F#m

Rained down from the street light

It fell across your shoulder

Paused just above your collar

Like it had something to show me

F#m

As if I wasn't already noticing

Your eyes a shade of wonder

Like if thunder had a color

[Chorus]

It could have been harmless

F#m

Wanting to see

If I could get a little closer

And walk away breathing

It might've been cheating

F#m

Where exactly is the line?

Too early to admit it

I wanted you for mine

[Verse 2]

I kissed Maria in the alley

F#m

You laughed and spilled your whiskey

There's some I can't remember

A talented bartender

And way out in the cheap seats

F#m

The stars stared unblinking

The ones that know anything

Won't be revealing

[Chorus]

It could have been harmless

F#m

Wanting to see

If I could get a little closer

And walk away breathing

It might've been cheating

F#m

Where exactly is the line?

Too early to admit it

I wanted you for mine

[Bridge]

G A

There was a sword in my drink

G A

Everything's a sign, if you want it to be

And you want it to be

[Chorus]

It could have been harmless

F#m

Wanting to see

If I could get a little closer

And walk away breathing

It might've been cheating

Where exactly is the line?

Too early to admit it

I wanted you for mine

It could've been harmless

G F#m A

It could've been harmless

I'm pretty sure that C#m chord ain't right, so Amanda if you see this TELL ME WHAT IT IS.
