Intro:

Verse:

F Am

Inside the haze of summer's fire

Dm Bb

We sat in feels of grass and wire

F Gm C

As horses raced their endless territory

F Am

And from our precious minds we thought

Dm Bb

Our still life dreams and battles fought

F Gm C

Our victories enshrined in ragged glory

Chorus:

Bb C

We were young and foolish then

Bb Dm

Had no fear that it could end

Am Bb C C

As in to that crooked night our love went reeling

Bb C F Fsus4 F

How one thousand lives I'd live just for that feeling

Bridge:

Dm Bb F Gm

And we cast our spells that can't go right

Dm Bb F Gm

While distant bells rang loud and bright

Dm Bb F Gm Bb

We made our way, through dirt road tracks

Bb Gm

But you can't go back

Am Bb C Bb

No-ooo, you can never go back

(Just strum the Am chord once there when you switch from the Gm to Bb.
