[Intro]
G

                  Em
We've been in the rain
                  C
We've been on the mountain
                     G
We've been round the fire


         Em
In fancy hotels
                 C
Drank water from farm wells
                 G
We sang with the choir

                  Em
I kissed your dry lips
                  C
We jumped off the high cliffs
                  G
And splashed down below


        Em
Skin to skin
             C
In the salty river
                 G       C
Made love in the shadow
       G
Woooah ooh


     Dsus4/F#      Em
Read books to each other
                     C
Read the mind of the other
                  G
Flew one thousand jets


                  Em
We laughed and we cried
                   C
At movies and real life
                  G
In our ridiculous beds


                 Em
We danced in the moonlight at midnight
                   C
We pressed against back doors and wooden floors
              G
And you never faked it


            Em
And frequently
               C
We ignored our love
                      G       C
But we could never mistake it
     G    Dsus4/F#
Oooh ooh

   Dsus4/F#   Em
We met on the front porch
                    C
Fell in love on the phone
                     G
Without the physical wreck


                Em
You gave me the necklace
             C
That used to hang
                    G
Around your mothers neck


                Em
We questioned religions
                 C
Fed bread to the pigeons
                  G
We learned how to pray


                Em
We stood by the ocean
                        C
Turned our hearts in to one
                   G    C
We laid in bed all day
      G
Heeey-ey


   Dsus4/F#       Em
We skipped on the sidewalk
                      C
Skipped stones on the water
           G
We skipped town


               Em
We've seen the sunrise with new eyes
                         C
We've seen the damage of gossip and true lies
                      G
We've seen the sun go down


               Em
Had passionate makeouts
               C
And passionate freakouts
                           G
We built this world of our own


                        Em
It was in the back of a taxi
                     C~
When you told me you loved me
                 G~      C~ G~
And that I wasnt alone
