[Verse 1]
          E                       A
For the wolves we fought when a child was brave
             C#m
Days on a Southern strand
              B                  A
Where we'd all pretend to be touring
           E                       A
And I'd wait all night for the smile you'd saved
            E
Or how the wind would howl
        C#m
Better head back now
           A
It's a warning
[Chorus]
C#m  A  C#m                 F#m
        We were swimming out so far this time
C#m  A  E                 B
        The sun and your eyes were the only fire
C#m  A  C#m            F#m
        Pretty intimate so far so I
C#m  A                    C#m
        Lit a holy fire
[Verse 2]
So we all gather our ghosts around the island flames
             E                    F#m
Oh and the song she throws is not one I know
         A
But it knew me
        E        B       A
For an age long lost in time, erased
                  E
Days when they called our names
          C#m                     A
Stories tucked away, you tell it to me
[Chorus]
C#m  A  C#m                 F#m
        We were swimming out so far this time
C#m  A  E                 B
        The sun and your eyes were the only fire
C#m  A  C#m            F#m
        Pretty intimate so far so I
C#m  A                    C#m
        Lit a holy fire
[Bridge]
C#m                             A        F#m
Take me back to places I feel loved in
C#m                             A        F#m
Maybe failing that, take me to Boston
C#m                                   A        F#m
Strange that I'm not seeing you as often
C#m                                 A        F#m
Wandering 'round in cities I feel lost in
C#m               B
What if all the costs are even
[Chorus]
C#m  A  C#m                 F#m
        We were swimming out so far this time
C#m  A  E                 B
        The sun and your eyes were the only fire
C#m  A  C#m            F#m
        Pretty intimate so far so I
C#m  A                    C#m
        Lit a holy fire
