Capo on 3

C                                             G
Tracing the silver lines of the moon with our eyes
                    D
We both knew it was time
                     C                                    G
With your finger you traced every line, every angle of my face
                 D
Never wanting to leave this place

C                                             G
Time took its toll and we lost any thought of control
              D                Am
We once had before closing the door
                                 C
This was going to be our last mistake
          D
A quick inhale
         Em*
A fast intake
            D*
We tried to take it slow
    C
But no
                                    G
It wasn't an option in our state of mind
                  D
Anything that was left was left behind

Am                       G                 D
We are the only ones who knew this kind of love
          Am
I promise you this
                        G
Skies above had nothing to do with it
D
No, no
 
C
With the war all around
                   G
There was no other sound
                       D
And our eyes they were stung
                    C
By the light of the sun that was fast rising
                       G*
I grabbed your hand in mine
            D*
Our fingers intertwined

C                           D
Any face that we saw was so unrecognizable now
                   Am
And we didn't know how
                                      C
Every familiar thing we once knew disappeared
                D        Em*                  D*
I was trying to hear you through the crowd of people screaming
C                                          G
For their souls in a word that they would obey you
                 D
And I looked the other way, knowing

Am                       G                 D
We are the only ones who knew this kind of love
          Am
I promise you this
                        G
Skies above had nothing to do with it
D
No, no

Am                           G
This is gonna be our last mistake
              D                 Am
We won't find out till it's too late
                        G*
I wonder if she's gonna stay
         D*           Am*
I left before he was awake
