[Intro 1]
[C][Em][G][Am][C][Em][Am]

[Verse 1]
[C]This town
was a [Em]lovers stage
But now [G]you can't recog[C]nize
The streetlights that are
[Em]daggers to your [G]eyes
[Dm]You can't find your [Am]bearings
You're slip[F]ping into the [C]ground
[F]The scene has no [Am]color and no [Em]sound[G]

[Verse 2]
[C]You still belie[Em]ve in me
[G]Af ter the things [C]I've done
You fear for [Em]what we have be[G]come
[Dm]The ground is uneven[Am]
[F]We stumble from day [C]to day
[F]You shelter where it'[Am]s easy
Although your [Em]feet are like lead
But you [G]gotta get under[F]way
Drag your [C]heart up to the starting

[Verse 3]
[Em]line[Am]
[F]Forget the[C] ghosts that make
[G]you old before your [F]time
It's too [C]easy to get [Em]left be[Am]hind
[Dm]I know you've been kicked around
But [F]tie up your thoughts and lay them down
[C]on [Em]me
[G][C][Em][G][C]

[Verse 4]
Each heart is a [Em]paper kite [G]blown
around by [C]the breeze
Love won't rest 'til it [Em]brings
you to [G]your knees
[Dm]Some find it [Am]easy,
[F]some will never even [C]know
[F]You think you've done
your jour[Am]ney
Then you [Em]stumble and find that there's
[G]such a long way [F]to go
Drag your heart [C]up to the starting

[Verse 5]
[Em]line[Am]
[F]Forget the[C] ghosts that make
[G]you old before your [F]time
It's too [C]easy to get [Em]left be[Am]hind
[Dm]I know you've been kicked around
You [F]wanna be lost and not be found
But [Bb]let's take the back way into town
[F]Drink to the bad times
Lay them down [C]on [Em]me
[G][C][Em][G][C]

[Verse 6]
[C]Girl, I still be[Em]lieve in you
You're [G]too good to fall so [C]low
We're gonna find a [Em]better life [G]I know
[Dm]Things will be clear[Am]er
[F]As soon as we make [C]a start
[F]We'll be that much nearer[Am]
We're too old [Em]to just stand
here [G]waiting to break [F]apart
Drag your [C]heart up to the starting

[Verse 7]
[Em]line[Am]
[F]Forget the[C] ghosts that make you
[G]old before your [C]time[F]
It's too [C]easy to get [Em]left be[Am]hind
[Dm]I know you've been kicked around
But [F]tie up your thoughts and lay
them down [C]on [Em]me
[G]On [C]me, on [Em]me[G]
