[Intro]
Dm - Bb - Gm - C    x3  (3rd time piano comes in)

[Verse 1]
Dm                   C/E    Dm
Things were all good yesterday
                              F/A  Bb
And then the devil took your memory
                         F/A     Bb
And if you fell to your death today
                                   Dm          
I hope that heaven is your resting place
                             C/E       F
I heard the doctors put your chest in pain
                                  Am   Gm
But then that could have been the medicine
                            F    C/E
And now you're lying in the bed again
                                      Bb
Either way I'll cry with the rest of them

[Pre-Chorus]
Bb     F/A      Dm   
And my father told me, Son,
              Gm   F/A        C/E   Dm   F    F/A
It's not his fault he doesn't know your face,
Bb     F/A         Dm        
And you're not the only one
             Gm  F/A C/E Dm  C/E
Although my grandma used to say, "he used to say"

[Chorus]
Dm              F/A     Bb                   F/A    Bb
Darling hold me in your arms the way you did last night
               C                  C   C   Dm
And we'll lie inside for a little while he wrote
Dm            F/A      Bb                 F/A   Bb
I could look into your eyes until the sun comes up
                      C                 Dm
And we're wrapped in light, in life, and love
              F/A     Bb                  F/A   Bb
Put your open lips on mine and slowly let them shut
               C                    Dm
For they're designed to be together oh
              F/A     Bb                       F/A  Bb
With your body next to mine our hearts will beat as one
                C                  Dm - [Back to intro riff]
And we're set alight, we're afire love, love, love oh

Dm               C/E      Dm
Things were all good yesterday
                              F/A  Bb
Then the devil took your breath away
                        F/A     Bb
And now we're left here in the pain
                                       Dm
Black suit, black tie standin' in the rain
                     C/E   F
And now my family is one again
                                     Am    Gm
Stapled together with the stranger's never friend
                                   F/A   C/E
Came to my mind I should paint it with a pen
                          Bb
Six years old I remember when

[Pre-Chorus 1x]

[Chorus]
Dm              F/A     Bb                   F/A    Bb
Darling hold me in your arms the way you did last night
               C                  C     C   Dm
And we'll lie inside for a little while he wrote
Dm            F/A      Bb                 F/A   Bb
I could look into your eyes until the sun comes up
                      C                 Dm
And we're wrapped in light, in life, in love.
              F/A     Bb                  F/A   Bb
Put your open lips on mine and slowly let them shut
               C                    Dm
For they're designed to be together oh
               F/A     Bb                       F/A  Bb
With your body next to mine our hearts will beat as one
                C                  Dm - F/A F/A - Bb - 
                                   F/A F/A - Bb - Bb C  x2
And we're set alight, we?re afire love, love, love oh.
