Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]In[C]
[G]the[Am] time[C] b[G]efor[Am]e
[C]we needed [G]forgiveness
You said, "Meet [Am]me after s[C]chool
at the top of [G]Elysian"
Sharing [Am]headphones and a
[C]plastic bottle of [G]vodka
In the dis[Am]tance,
the [C]crowd goin' wild in [G]the stadium
Orchestra [Am]playing under

[Verse 2]
[Em]
[G]the bandshell
Swaying to[Am]gether like
[Em]cathedral bells
They [C]ring and ring and ring
[Bm]and ring and r[G]ing[Am]
[G]And I could onl[Am]y hear you[C] singing

[Verse 3]
'Cause she said, [Am]"When do you think
we'll [C]stop feeling like [G]children?
'Cause [Am]the last time I asked my
[C]mom she said she still [Em]did"[G]
As [Am]we pass,
the cell [C]towers disguise like palm [G]trees
She laid [Am]out across [C]my lap and we
kept [G]driv[C] in[G]g

[Verse 4]
[G]
Orchestra [Am]playing under
[Em]the [G]bandshell
Swaying togeth[Am]er like
[Em]cathedral bells
[G]They rin[C]g and ring and ring
[Bm]and ring a[Am]nd ring[G]
And I could [Am]only hear [C]you [D]singing

[Verse 5]
Mary in Harlem sitting [C]quiet[D]
Imagine if we had [C]stayed[D]
Tourniquet stems are blushing [C]tide[D]
Love isn't worship,
love [C]is change
