[Verse 1]
Em D C Am
I thought we had a place, just our place, our home base, my headspace
Em D C Am
Was you and I always, but that phase has been phased in our place
Em D C Am
I see it on your face, a small trace, a blank slate, we've been erased
Em D C Am
But if we're way too faded to drive, you can stay one more night
[Chorus]
Em D C Am
We said we'd both love harder than we knew we could go
Em D C Am
But still the hardest part is knowing when to let go
Em D C Am
You wanted to go higher, higher, higher
Em N.C.
Burn too bright, now the fire's gone
N.C. Em N.C.
Watch it all fall down: Babylon
[Post-Chorus]
Em D C Am
Em D C Am
Babylon
Em D C Am
Em D C
Burn too bright, now the fire's gone, watch it all fall down
[Verse 2]
Em D C Am
I'm tired of the feud, your short fuse, my half-truths are not amused
Em D C Am
I wish we had a clue to start new, a white moon, no residue
Em D C Am
The color of our mood is so rude, a cold June, we're not immune
Em D C Am
But if we're way too faded to fight, you can stay one more night
[Chorus]
Em D C Am
We said we'd both love harder than we knew we could go
Em D C Am
But still the hardest part is knowing when to let go
Em D C Am
You wanted to go higher, higher, higher
Em N.C.
Burn too bright, now the fire's gone
N.C. Em N.C.
Watch it all fall down: Babylon
[Post-Chorus]
Em D C Am
Em D C Am
Babylon
Em D C Am
Em D C
Burn too bright, now the fire's gone, watch it all fall down
[Chorus]
Em D C Am
We said we'd both love harder than we knew we could go
Em D C Am
But still the hardest part is knowing when to let go
Em D C Am
You wanted to go higher, higher, higher
Em N.C. Em N.C.
Burn too bright, now the fire's gone, watch it all fall down
Em D C Am
We said we'd both love harder than we knew we could go
Em D C Am
But still the hardest part is knowing when to let go
Em D C Am
You wanted to go higher, higher, higher
Em D
Burn too bright, now the fire's gone
C N.C.
Watch it all fall down: Babylon
[Post-Chorus]
Em D C Am
Em D C Am
Babylon
Em D C Am
Em D C
Burn too bright, now the fire's gone, watch it all fall down
