It's like we Aboth have just arrived here
Like we've just stepped off a
plane in a new Dmaj7town
and the sun was Esus4out.
I was Atalking, you would point your ear at me
like I was making some sweet Dmaj7sound
you said, "make it Esus4loud"
But we can Bmnever come back here again
we can Dsus2only hope... to forAget.Asus4  
Walked through a Acemetery archway
into a wood that hung so happily Dmaj7alone
but the words were all Esus4wrong.
You traded Aall my ill affections
for directions to a party across Dmaj7town.
You bring the house Esus4down.
But we can Bmnever go back there again
we can Dsus2only hope.
So...
ABurned is the house.
Dsus2Gone is the street.
F#m7Here is the same disaEppointing retreat.
And I Aneed it like hell if I'd Dsus2lie to myself
to F#m7think I could live that life Eover again.
Where the Acuts were like guilt
and the Dsus2taste for your eyes
I say, "F#m7we're up when I
couldn't Ejust say goodnight"
If you F#m7cry me a Ariver you Dcan baptize me in
I say, "F#m7I guess that's iAt, now I've
Dfucking seen Eeverything"
AWoah'sDsus2  
You were the Afirst real choice I would F#m7make, 
but we Eall make mistDsus2akes,  Eso...
(Like the beginning)
Jumped overboard because the
water’s always greener
when the sun shines on the sea
Would you drown for me?
It's just as deep as you can make it
you tread water when you could
stand on your knees
but don't pray to me.
Cause when the lamp ray's taken all it can
it will keep you dead.
But but, 
Burned is the house.
Gone is the street.
Here is the same disappointing retreat.
And I need it like hell if I'd lie to myself
to think I could live that life over again.
Where the cuts were like guilt
and the taste for your eyes
I say, "we're up when I
couldn't just say goodnight"
If you cry me a river you can baptize me in
I say, "I guess that's it, yeah, 
I've fucking seen everything now"
A         F#m7    E    Dsus4
A         F#m7    E    Dsus4
AWoah'sD  
You were the first real choice I would make, 
You were the only one that I would take
Now you'll take til I go.
You were the first real choice I would make, 
but we all make mistakes, so...

It's like we both have just arrived here

Like we've just stepped off a

Dmaj7

plane in a new town

Esus4

and the sun was out.

I was talking, you would point your ear at me

Dmaj7

like I was making some sweet sound

Esus4

you said, "make it loud"

But we can never come back here again

Dsus2 A Asus4

we can only hope... to forget.

Walked through a cemetery archway

Dmaj7

into a wood that hung so happily alone

Esus4

but the words were all wrong.

You traded all my ill affections

Dmaj7

for directions to a party across town.

Esus4

You bring the house down.

But we can never go back there again

Dsus2

we can only hope.

So...

Burned is the house.

Dsus2

Gone is the street.

F#m7 E

Here is the same disappointing retreat.

A Dsus2

And I need it like hell if I'd lie to myself

F#m7 E

to think I could live that life over again.

Where the cuts were like guilt

Dsus2

and the taste for your eyes

F#m7

I say, "we're up when I

couldn't just say goodnight"

F#m7 A D

If you cry me a river you can baptize me in

F#m7 A

I say, "I guess that's it, now I've

D E

fucking seen everything"

A Dsus2

Woah's

A F#m7

You were the first real choice I would make,

E Dsus2 E

but we all make mistakes, so...

(Like the beginning)

Jumped overboard because the

water’s always greener

when the sun shines on the sea

Would you drown for me?

It's just as deep as you can make it

you tread water when you could

stand on your knees

but don't pray to me.

Cause when the lamp ray's taken all it can

it will keep you dead.

But but,

Burned is the house.

Gone is the street.

Here is the same disappointing retreat.

And I need it like hell if I'd lie to myself

to think I could live that life over again.

Where the cuts were like guilt

and the taste for your eyes

I say, "we're up when I

couldn't just say goodnight"

If you cry me a river you can baptize me in

I say, "I guess that's it, yeah,

I've fucking seen everything now"

A F#m7 E Dsus4

A D

Woah's

You were the first real choice I would make,

You were the only one that I would take

Now you'll take til I go.

You were the first real choice I would make,

but we all make mistakes, so...
