VERSE 1:
BmGive (x24432@1)me something to hold
     D (xx0232@1)     D/C# (x40232@1)   BmThat (x24432@1)lasts until I'm old
BmThat (x24432@1)won't get changed or rearranged
        D (xx0232@1)      D/C# (x40232@1)    BmWhen (x24432@1)it all gets bought and sold
        D (xx0232@1)      D/C# (x40232@1)    BmWhen (x24432@1)it all gets bought and sold

BmKeep (x24432@1)me on the run
D (xx0232@1)       D/C# (x40232@1) BmAlive (x24432@1)and forever young
BmAs (x24432@1)the leaves die under the Autumn sun
        D (xx0232@1)   D/C# (x40232@1)   BmAnd (x24432@1)the final day has come
        D (xx0232@1)   D/C# (x40232@1)      BmAnd (x24432@1)the web's been finally spun

PRE-CHORUS 1:
GMeet (320003@1)me in my hidden place,
Bm/G
Where I hide my disillusioned face
GOff (320003@1)the beaten track where there's no way back,
Bm/G
With the cider and blacks and the panic attacks

CHORUS:
A/CYou (032220@1)and me are calling the shots
EmConnecting (022000@1)souls like dot to dots
A/CThe (032220@1)stars in the sky like teenage spots
Em (022000@1)           G (320003@1)     BmThat (x24432@1)shine but pine for love

VERSE 2:
BmMy (x24432@1)mind keeps wagin' war
     D (xx0232@1)       D/C# (x40232@1)BmI've (x24432@1)been here many times before
BmThere's (x24432@1)a lump in the throat when the boat still floats
        D (xx0232@1)       D/C# (x40232@1) BmBut (x24432@1)the captain's not too sure
        D (xx0232@1)       D/C# (x40232@1) BmNo, (x24432@1)the captain's never too sure

PRE-CHORUS 2:
GThere's (320003@1)no footprints in the sand,
Bm/G
Where my ocean meets your land
GThrough (320003@1)the seven seas, through the fields and trees,
Bm/G
On the bleeding knees, with the OCDs

CHORUS:
A/CYou (032220@1)and me are calling the shots
EmConnecting (022000@1)souls like dot to dots
A/CThe (032220@1)stars in the sky like teenage spots
Em (022000@1)           G (320003@1)     BmThat (x24432@1)shine but pine for love
Em (022000@1)           G (320003@1)     BmThat (x24432@1)shine but pine for love
