Intro :  D D - Bm Bm - G G - A A
(Verse 1)
D D                              G G
The strands in your eyes that color them wonderful
Bm Bm                       G G   A A
Stop me and steal my breath
D D                        G G
Emeralds from mountains thrust towards the sky
Bm Bm                       G G    A A
Never revealing their depth
D D    Bm Bm      G G         A A
Tell me that we belong together
D D        Bm Bm          G G           A A
Dress it up with the trappings of love
D D            Bm Bm          G G         A A
I'll be captivated, I'll hang from your lips
D D              Bm Bm         G G                        A A    A7 A7  Aadd9 Aadd9
Instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above

(Chorus 1)
         D D    Bm Bm   G G         A A 
     And I'll be your crying shoulder
     D D    Bm Bm   G G    A A  
     I'll be loves suicide
     D D  Bm Bm   G G              A A 
     I'll be better when I'm older
     D D    Bm Bm      G G       A A            D D      
     I'll be the greatest fan of your life

(Verse 2)
D D            G G
Rain falls angry on the tin roof
Bm Bm                    G G      A A
As we lie awake in my bed
D D                         G G
You're my survival, you're my living proof
Bm Bm                      G G    A A
My love is alive not dead
D D    Bm Bm      G G         A A 
Tell me that we belong together
D D     Bm Bm             G G           A A
Dress it up with the trappings of love
D D            Bm Bm         G G         A A  
I'll be captivated I'll hang from your lips
D D              Bm Bm         G G                         A A  A7 A7  Aaad9
Instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above

(REPEAT CHORUS)
(Pre-Chorus)
 Bm BmBsus2 Bsus2
And I've dropped out, burned up, 
A A             A7 A7             G G Gsus Gsus
fought my way back from the dead
Bm Bm        Bsus2 Bsus2
Tuned in, turned on, 
A A              A7 A7               G G  A A  A7 A7
remembered the thing that you said
(CHORUS)
