             AIt's (x02220@1)like we both have just arrived here

Like we've just stepped off a
               Dmaj7plane (xx0222@1)in a new town
                Esus4and (022200@1)the sun was out.
      AI (x02220@1)was talking, you would point your ear at me
                             Dmaj7like (xx0222@1)I was making some sweet sound
                   Esus4you (022200@1)said, "make it loud"
           BmBut (x24432@1)we can never come back here again
       Dsus2 (xx0230@1)            A (x02220@1) Asus4we (x02230@1)can only hope... to forget.
                 AWalked (x02220@1)through a cemetery archway
                                 Dmaj7into (xx0222@1)a wood that hung so happily alone
                       Esus4but (022200@1)the words were all wrong.
           AYou (x02220@1)traded all my ill affections
                                 Dmaj7for (xx0222@1)directions to a party across town.

                    Esus4You (022200@1)bring the house down.
           BmBut (x24432@1)we can never go back there again
       Dsus2we (xx0230@1)can only hope.

So...
ABurned (x02220@1)is the house.
Dsus2
Gone is the street.
F#m7 (131141@2)               EHere (022100@1)is the same disappointing retreat.
      A (x02220@1)                      Dsus2And (xx0230@1)I need it like hell if I'd lie to myself
   F#m7 (131141@2)                       Eto (022100@1)think I could live that life over again.
          AWhere (x02220@1)the cuts were like guilt
        Dsus2and (xx0230@1)the taste for your eyes
        F#m7 (131141@2)I say, "we're up when I
         Ecouldn't (022100@1)just say goodnight"
       F#m7 (131141@2)   A (x02220@1)       DIf (xx0232@1)you cry me a river you can baptize me in
        F#m7 (131141@2)          A (x02220@1)I say, "I guess that's it, now I've
D (xx0232@1)          Efucking (022100@1)seen everything"

A (x02220@1)          Dsus2 (xx0230@1)       
Woah's
             A (x02220@1)                       F#m7You (131141@2)were the first real choice I would make, 
       E (022100@1)          Dsus2 (xx0230@1)Ebut (022100@1)we all make mistakes,  so...

(Like the beginning)
Jumped overboard because the
water's always greener
when the sun shines on the sea
Would you drown for me?
It's just as deep as you can make it
you tread water when you could
stand on your knees
but don't pray to me.
Cause when the lamp ray's taken all it can
it will keep you dead.

But but, 

Burned is the house.
Gone is the street.
Here is the same disappointing retreat.
And I need it like hell if I'd lie to myself
to think I could live that life over again.
Where the cuts were like guilt
and the taste for your eyes
I say, "we're up when I
couldn't just say goodnight"
If you cry me a river you can baptize me in
I say, "I guess that's it, yeah, 
I've fucking seen everything now"

You were the first real choice I would make, 
You were the only one that I would take
Now you'll take til I go.

You were the first real choice I would make, 
but we all make mistakes, so...
