Verse 1:
D         F#m
  In this room I'm 
A               D   E
sitting by your side
   F#m       A
It rains for hours and
    D                F#m
the phone is off its hook
 A              D
Standing on the edge casting 
               F#m  A
lots to set me up before 
             D   F#m
you knock me down
off the summer's edge 
    D     F#m
and drown me We're 
               D        F#m
betting on our own lives
              D               F#m
making up for all the time we lost


Chorus 1: Beat swtiched from standard 4/4 to 3/4
Bm        F#m      A
  In this house of cards we're 
            G           D
all holding hearts and spades
                 G
(one breath one step 
      D            Bm
could knock it all down)
        F#m
but you lead with your 
A                     G
eyes and you give it away
   D       G
(decide, design to 
D            Bm
cut from the clouds)
         F#m        A
When the people you love 
                G
get lost in the shuffle
          D    G
(when you leave you leave 
D           Bm     F#m
nothing but broken heart)
           A               D-- x2
you let it go and then you fold


Verse 2: Beat swithed back from 3/4 to 4/4
       F#m A           D
So we stay on the open road
   F#m       A
We drive for hours and still 
   D           E   F#m
no end in sight at all
A               D
Driving in your car miss the 
                  F#m
stop sign fall in love
E                   D  F#m
just to get knocked out
summer's edge 
    D     F#m
and drown me We're 
               D        F#m
betting on our own lives
              D               F#m
making up for all the time we lost
