[Verse 1]
BmIn the time Dbefore we needed F#mforgiveness
You said, Bm"Meet me after Dschool at the top of ElF#mysian"A  
Sharing Bmheadphones and a Dplastic bottle of F#mvodka
In the Bmdistance, the Dcrowd going wild in the F#mstadium
[Chorus]
AOrchestra Bmplaying under the F#mbandshell
ASwaying toBmgether like cathedral F#mbells
They Dring and ring and C#mring and ring and Bmring
AAnd I could Bmonly hear you sDinging
[Verse 2]
She said, "BmWhen do you think weD'll stop feeling like F#mchildren?
'Cause the Bmlast time I asked Dmy mom she said she F#mstill did"A  
As we Bmpassed the cell Dtowers disguised like F#mpalm trees
She laid Bmout across my Dlap and we kept F#mdriving
[Chorus]
AOrchestra Bmplaying under the F#mbandshell
ASwaying toBmgether like cathedral F#mbells
They Dring and ring and C#mring and ring and Bmring
AAnd I could Bmonly hear you sDinging
[Bridge]
EMarian Harlow, sitting Dquiet
EImagine if we had Dstayed
ETourniquet stems the blushing Dtide
ELove isn't worship, love is Dchange

A Bm F#m
[Chorus]
AOrchestra Bmplaying under the F#mbandshell
