C5 E5 G5 C5 (2x)


Verse 1:


C5               E5  
This town was a lovers stage 
     G5                  C5
but now you can't recognise
C5                         E5              G5
the streetlights that are daggers to your eyes
F5                     A5
You can't find your bearings
       F5                  C5
you're slipping into the ground
    F5            A5            E5        G5
The scene has no colour and no sound.


Verse 2:


C5            E5
You still believe in me 
 G5                     C5
after the things I've done
 C5           E5             G5
You fear for what we have become
F5               A5
The ground is uneven
F5                       C5
you stumble from day to day
F5                   A5        
You tread where its easy
              E5           
although your feet are like lead
        G5                F5
and you gotta get underway


Chorus:


F5          C5                E5      A5
Drag your heart up to the starting line
F5            C5                   G5
Forget the ghosts that make you old before your time
F5       C5            E5     A5
Its too easy to get left behind
D5                 
I know you've been kicked around
    F5                                           C5     E5    G5   C5
but tie up your thoughts and lay them down on me.


Verse 3:


C5               E5         G5                   A5
Each heart is a paper kite blown around by the breeze
C5                      E5                  G5
Love wont rest till it brings you to your knees
F5            A5    F5                    C5
Some find it easy, some will never even know
F5                         A5
You think youve done your journey,
           E5                          G5
then you stumble and find that theres such a long way to go


Chorus:


( F5 )        C5              E5       A5
Drag your heart up to the starting line
F5            C5                   G5
Forget the ghosts that make you old before your time
F5       C5            E5     A5
Its too easy to get left behind
D5 
I know you've been kicked around
F5
You wanna be lost but now your found
Bb5
lets take the back way into town
F5
Drink to the bad times
                   C5     E5     G5     C5 
Lay them down on me

C5 E5 G5 C5   


Verse 4:


C5             E5
Girl, I still believe in you
         G5               C5
your too good to fall so low
C5                  E5            G5
we're gonna find a better life I know
F5              A5
Things will be clearer
F5                    C5
as soon as we make a start
F5                  A5
we'll be that much nearer
          E5                     G5                  F5                    
we're too old to just stand here waiting to break apart


Chorus:


( F5 )        C5              E5       A5
Drag your heart up to the starting line
F5            C5                   G5
Forget the ghosts that make you old before your time
F5       C5            E5     A5
Its too easy to get left behind
D5
I know you've been kicked around
F5                                               C5     E5     G5     C5
but tie up your thoughts and lay them down on me.     On me...

C5     E5     G5     C5
On me...
