C Cadd9 G Am x1

C (x32010@1)                                       Cadd9The (x32030@1)other day, when we were walking by the graveyard near the house,
            G (320003@1)                           AmYou (x02210@1)asked me if I thought we would ever die.
C (x32010@1)                                  Cadd9And (x32030@1)if life and love both fade so predictably,
                     G (320003@1)                   AmWe've (x02210@1)made ourselves a kind of predictable life.
        C (x32010@1)                                        Cadd9And (x32030@1)so I pictured us like corpses, lying side by side in pieces,
        G (320003@1)                                AmIn (x02210@1)some dark and lonely blood under a bow.
           C (x32010@1)                                  Cadd9We (x32030@1)looked so silly there, all decomposed, half turned to dust,
                                 G (320003@1)                      AmIn (x02210@1)tattered clothes, but we probably look just as silly now.
       C (x32010@1)                             Cadd9Bye (x32030@1)bye bye bye, bye bye to all this dogged innocence.
       G (320003@1)                                 FI (133211@1)can't pretend that I can tell you what is going to happen next,
     AmOr (x02210@1)how to be.

       C (x32010@1)                              Cadd9And (x32030@1)it left me to wonder if people will ever know each other
      G (320003@1)                                   AmBy (x02210@1)just stumbling around like strangers in the dark.
   C'Cause (x32010@1)sometimes you seem so strange to me,
Cadd9
I must seem strange to you.
            G (320003@1)                   AmWe're (x02210@1)like two actors playing our parts.
       CDid (x32010@1)you memorize your lines?
                           Cadd9'Cause (x32030@1)I did. Here's the part where I get so mad,
  G (320003@1)                         AmI (x02210@1)tell you I can't forget the past.
         CYou (x32010@1)get so quiet now, and you seem, somehow,
  Cadd9
Like a lost and lonely child.
            G (320003@1)                             AmAnd (x02210@1)you just hope that the moment won't last.

     F (133211@1)                   CSo (x32010@1)there's always a way around.
     F (133211@1)                             CThere's (x32010@1)something tying our feet to the ground,
    F (133211@1)                             AmA (x02210@1)moment passed, we hate how it sounds.
C (x32010@1)Cmaj9 (x3243x@1)Am (x02210@1)G (320003@1)FAnd (133211@1)it seems a little less profound,
C (x32010@1)Cmaj9 (x3243x@1)Am (x02210@1)G (320003@1)FLike (133211@1)we're all going the same way down.

C (x32010@1)Cmaj9 (x3243x@1)Am (x02210@1)G (320003@1)FI'm (133211@1)just trying to write it all down.
          C (x32010@1)                                 G'Cause (320003@1)I write songs, and you write letters,
       F (133211@1)                          GWe (320003@1)are tied like two, in tethers.

And we talk and read, and laugh and sleep, at night in bed, together.
   F (133211@1)              GAnd (320003@1)you wake in tears sometimes,
       F (133211@1)                GI (320003@1)can see the thoughts flash across your eyes.
     F (133211@1)                         GThey (320003@1)say "Darling, will you be kind?

            F (133211@1)              GAnd (320003@1)then the letters all pass through my head,
C (x32010@1)Cmaj9 (x3243x@1)    AmWith (x02210@1)the words that I was told,
    F (133211@1)                        G (320003@1)
