Verse 1: Do intro riff
And we Gsaid it would be funny
to keep me hanging in suspense
Then I'd C9run over to your house
and I'd scale the chainlink fence
That Em7borders your back yard and
then I'd climb through your window
And I'd C9whisper that I love you
as you fall out of your clothes
And we'd Glay there in the
darkness like the dream of you I had
Where we C9captured all the
fireflies and knew what time we had
Could be Em7counted on our fingertips
that almost made you cry
You C9let me hold you tightly
as we said all our goodbyes

Verse 2:
And it Gmust of been and hour
that I clutched you in my arms
And I C9must have said the right
things because you instantly felt warm
And you Em7heard my heart stop
beating and you wanted not to cry
As your C9sympathetic whispers
they told a tale of bad goodbyes
And You sGwore you saw me laughing
and I swore I saw you smile
And this C9time we've spent together
was meant to last us quite a while
As I Em7take this piece of you with
me I'll carry to my grave
C9Knowing that for someone you're
an angel sent to save
