She said when I trusted love I dreamed in color too
G C G
Oh, but memories turn out black and white, at least mine do

Oh, but this is now, and that was then
[Chorus]

It’s better off just not to start
D Em
Than to have to watch us fall apart

So I’ll take away your sad luck baby and you’ll change mine

When hurt starts talkin’ we’ll say hey, ya know, we ain’t got time
C
Then pick up all those small hopes back off the ground
G G (Riff)
Oh, ’cause after years of tears it’s hard to say what’s up or down
[Chorus]

So if you will, I’ll try to start
D Em
And take the chance that we might fall apart

Awww, to try and save our second hand hearts
