[Verse]
        A
So step inside
                      D
'Cause that night is cold, it don't deserve such a smile
          A
It's not enough
          D                             F#m
For it to show up every once in a while
                A           F#m
In the moonlight, I should
            D                     F#m
Kiss you at Samhain, throw it all down
                  A
Wouldn't that be cool?
            Bm               D                      F#m
To kill the guards, open the gates, for feelings unbound
[Pre-Chorus]
                      D
But I've been keeping hope
           A                Bm             F#m
I've got a fairytale in my heart, I can cope
                  D
I've been keeping hope
             A                 Bm            F#m
Bet they had you in mind when naming the rose
[Chorus]
D        A            Bm             F#m
Only know 'bout how I won't be here later
D           A               Bm              F#m
Don't forget, 'bout how she had you feeling major
D                 A           Bm             F#m
He tried to write down how he felt 'bout the girl
Kept running out of paper. He'll wait for her

He was feeling fucking awesome

Be a good man like you taught him
Don't get caught up in caution when love exists

                D
We'll be alright

I could never lie about caring a lot
