[Verse 2]
Wasn't it Em7love as soon as we knew each other Gproperly? Living 'bout Cadd9half right, until a certain person got to me Nothing is Em7secret, everything's sacred, how it Gought to be Under the Cadd9moonlight on a clear night on rooftops is where I want to be SomeEm7times I'm like a child, it's something I Gcan't release Dreams of her Cadd9coming home, sweet home, I'm telling you home's so sweet Said you reEm7minded me of the summer times, and I still Gmean that In a Cadd9full room I'm the only one she's smiling at
[Verse 3]
So wouldn't you Em7let me know if you were thinking Gless of me? That's what she Cadd9asked me, what was promised, what we both agreed But truthfully, if you Em7ever go, you'll drop me straight to GHell, the seventh circle And I was Cadd9talking with you earlier, we were open and vulnerable, it was wonderful Em7 G Cadd9 Riff I, I used to dream that you would talk to me Em7 G I used to dream that you would Cadd9talk to me
[Chorus 2] G/B Cadd9 Em7no5 Em9/F# And I couldn't tell you enough that I'm sorry G/B Cadd9 Em7no5 Em9/F# And no, you couldn't tell me enough that you loved me G/B Cadd9 Em7no5 Em9/F# But she's bringing the moon and stars to me, damn permanent reverie G/B Cadd9 Em7no5 Em9/F# And even though this life, this love is brief, I've got some people who carry me [Verse 4] G/B Cadd9 Em7no5 Em9/F# You know that feeling when you think your heart is gonna come right out through your shirt? G/B Cadd9 Em7no5 Em9/F# I get it a couple times a year but I've been getting it more often with her G/B Cadd9 Em7no5 Em9/F# Now when I'm face to face with death I'll grab his throat and ask him, "how does it hurt?" G/B Cadd9 Em7no5 Em9/F# Up in those golden moments growing old too quickly, was he thinking of her? [Chorus 3] G/B Cadd9 Em7no5 Em9/F# But she's bringing the moon and stars to me, damn permanent reverie G/B Cadd9 Em7no5 Em9/F# And even though this life, this love is brief, I've got some people who carry me
