[Am][G][Bm]
[Am][F][G][Bm]
[Am][D]
[Dm][G]

[Verse 1]
Stale [G]love?
[Em]An understatement
Gives [Am]in, he stalks defeat,
no longer
Effervescent, steps echo be[G]hind
Mellow, [Em]one can fake it
Re[Am]new or cancel love's
prescription
'Cause it don't exist
[D]Your arms,

[Verse 2]
[Bm]with[G]draw[D]n
When [G]our depar[Bm]ture's bent
[G]How [D]may [G]I feign dismay?
"I [Am]can 't, but hope you [G]do"
And [Am]I don't wanna hold
your hand
[C]

[Verse 3]
[D]
A sum[G]mer dance, a grueling glance
[Bm]Wishful thinking at its best
The [Am]brightest smile, no wonder we met
[Em]Maybe your head's not here
[G]Your love for me says many
thing[Bm]s

The burning sight of roses, too
[Am][D]
[G]

[Verse 4]
Stale [G]love, [Em]a stranger
[Am]Palms are ice when held for fun
And the gloves don't fit
[G]You mis[Em]read
Wholehearted intent
[Am]To miscommunicate
I live for when her

[Verse 5]
[Bm]Arms, with[D]draw when [G]our war (Arms, withdraw
when our depar[Bm]ture's)
Injects dis[D]dain in [G]our veins(Bent, how may I
feign dismay?)
[Am]"I can't, but hope you [G]do"
And [Am]I don't wanna hold
your hand
[C]

[Verse 6]
[D]
[G]A summer dance, a grueling glance
[Bm]Wishful thinking at it[Am]s best
Your [G]love for me says many thing[Bm]s
The burning sight of roses,

[Outro 1]
