[Verse]
Am7           C
 After school, walkin’ home
Dadd11
Fresh dirt under my fingernails and
Am7         C
 I can smell hot asphalt
Dadd11
 Cars screech to a halt to let me pass
Am7        C
 And I cannot remember
Dadd11
 What life was like through photographs
Am7         C         Dadd11
 And trying to recreate images life gives us from the past
Am7 C                  Dadd11
    And sometimes its a sad song, but I
[Chorus]
Fmaj7      C                Am7
 Cannot forget, refuse to regret
          G
So glad I met you and
Fmaj7             C
 Take my breath away
          Am7
Make everyday worth all of the pain that I've gone through
Fmaj7      C
 And mama, I've been cryin'
      Am7                     Gadd4
‘cause things ain't how they used to be
              Fmaj7
She said: 'The battle's almost won
    Bm7/5-              E
And we're only several miles from the sun'.

 I see people I won't ever meet

 I think of her, take a breath

 Feel the beat in the rhythm of my steps

Am7
 Rhythm of the conversation
E7
 The perfection of her creation
Am7
 The sex she slipped into my coffee
E7
 The way she felt when she first saw me
Am7
 Hate to love and love to hate her
E7
 Like a broken record player
Am7
 Back and forth and here and gone
    E7
and on and on and on and on!
