Verse 1:
D5         F#5
  In this room I'm 
A5               D5   E5
sitting by your side
   F#5       A5
It rains for hours and
    D5                F#5
the phone is off its hook
 A5              D5
Standing on the edge casting 
               F#5  A5
lots to set me up before 
             D5   F#5
you knock me down
off the summer's edge 
    D5     F#5
and drown me We're 
               D5        F#5
betting on our own lives
              D5               F#5
making up for all the time we lost


Chorus 1: Beat swtiched from standard 4/4 to 3/4
B5        F#5      A5
  In this house of cards we're 
            G5           D5
all holding hearts and spades
                 G5
(one breath one step 
      D5            B5
could knock it all down)
        F#5
but you lead with your 
A5                     G5
eyes and you give it away
   D5       G5
(decide, design to 
D5            B5
cut from the clouds)
         F#5        A5
When the people you love 
                G5
get lost in the shuffle
          D5    G5
(when you leave you leave 
D5           B5     F#5
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#5 A5           D5
So we stay on the open road
   F#5       A5
We drive for hours and still 
   D5           E5   F#5
no end in sight at all
A5               D5
Driving in your car miss the 
                  F#5
stop sign fall in love
E5                   D5  F#5
just to get knocked out
summer's edge 
    D5     F#5
and drown me We're 
               D5        F#5
betting on our own lives
              D5               F#5
making up for all the time we lost

G5
Pull your punches and 
F#5                D-- x8
burn with your cigarettes

Pulled like a punch and 
F#5              D-- x8
burnt like a cigarette? 
G5   F#5 D-- x2
 forever
