Intro: C Em G C (2x) 


Verse 1: 


C               Em   
This town was a lovers stage  
     G                  C 
but now you can't recognise 
C                         Em              G 
the streetlights that are daggers to your eyes 
F                     Am 
You can't find your bearings 
       F                  C 
you're slipping into the ground 
    F            Am            Em        G 
The scene has no colour and no sound. 


Verse 2: 


C            Em 
You still believe in me  
 G                     C 
after the things I've done 
 C           Em             G 
You fear for what we have become 
F               Am 
The ground is uneven 
F                       C 
you stumble from day to day 
F                   Am         
You tread where its easy 
              Em            
although your feet are like lead 
        G                F 
and you gotta get underway 





F          C                Em      Am 
Drag your heart up to the starting line 
F            C                   G 
Forget the ghosts that make you old before your time 
F       C            Em     Am 
Its too easy to get left behind 
Dm                  
I know you've been kicked around 
    F                                           C     Em    G   C 
but tie up your thoughts and lay them down on me. 


Verse 3: 


C               Em         G                   Am 
Each heart is a paper kite blown around by the breeze 
C                      Em                  G 
Love wont rest till it brings you to your knees 
F            Am    F                    C 
Some find it easy, some will never even know 
F                         Am 
You think youve done your journey, 
           Em                          G 
then you stumble and find that theres such a long way to go 





(F)        C              Em       Am 
Drag your heart up to the starting line 
F            C                   G 
Forget the ghosts that make you old before your time 
F       C            Em     Am 
Its too easy to get left behind 
Dm  
I know you've been kicked around 
F 
You wanna be lost but now your found 
Bb 
lets take the back way into town 
F 
Drink to the bad times 
                   C     Em     G     C  
Lay them down on me 

C Em G C

C             Em 
Girl, I still believe in you 
         G               C 
your too good to fall so low 
C                  Em            G 
we're gonna find a better life I know 
F              Am 
Things will be clearer 
F                    C 
as soon as we make a start 
F                  Am 
we'll be that much nearer 
          Em                     G                  F                     
we're too old to just stand here waiting to break apart 





(F)        C              Em       Am 
Drag your heart up to the starting line 
F            C                   G 
Forget the ghosts that make you old before your time 
F       C            Em     Am 
Its too easy to get left behind

I know you've been kicked around 
F                                               C     Em     G     C 
but tie up your thoughts and lay them down on me.     On me...

On me...
