Intro G Em D..
G Em D..
G Em
who's gonna stop us from waltzing back
D
into rekindled flames..
if we know the steps anyway..?
G Em
we embroidered the memories
D
of the time i was away..
stitching, "we were just kids, babe.."
C Em
i said, "i don't mind.. it takes time.."
D
i thought i was better safe than starry eyed..
C Em
i felt aglow.. like this..
D
never before.. and never since..
Chorus
G Em
if you know it in one glimpse, it's legendary
D
you and i go from one kiss to getting married
G Em
still alive, killing time at the cemetery
D
never quite buried
C Em
in your suit and tie in the nick of time
D
you lowdown boy, you standup guy
C
you holy ghost, you told me
Em D
i'm the love of your life
D (G)
you said i'm the love of your life..
Int. G Em D
about a million times..
G Em
who's gonna tell me the truth
D
when you blew in with the winds of fate..
and told me i reformed you..?
G Em
when your impressionist paintings
D
of heaven turned out to be fakes..
well, you took me to hell too..
C Em
and all at once.. the ink bleeds..
D
a conman sells a fool a get love quick scheme..
C Em
but i felt a hole.. like this..
D
never before.. and ever since..
Chorus
G Em
if you know it in one glimpse, it's legendary
D
what we thought was for all time was momentary
G Em
still alive, killing time at the cemetery
D
never quite buried
C Em
you cinephile in black and white
D
all those plot twists and dynamite
C Em
mr. steal your girl, then make her cry
D
you said i'm the love of your life
Am G/B
you shit talked me under the table,
C
talking rings and talking cradles
i wish i could un recall
Am
how we almost had it all
G/B
dancing phantoms on the terrace,
C
are they second hand embarrassed
D
that i can't get out of bed
(G)
cause something counterfeit's dead..?
G Em D
it was legendary, it was momentary
G Em D
it was unnecessary, should've let it stay buried
Chorus
C
oh, what a valiant roar
Em
what a bland goodbye
D
the coward claimed he was a lion
C Em
i'm combing through the braids of lies
D
"i'll never leave.. never mind.."
C Em
our field of dreams, engulfed in fire
D
your arson's match, your somber eyes
C Em
and i'll still see it until i die
D
you're the loss of my.. life
