Chords

[Intro] C G C G C Am G C [Verse 1]
C                             G
   Across the city steam and light

       C                          G
Off a runway to the manufactured night

C                              Am
   In storybooks you’ll never find

Bm                            Em
   In paper armor that you’d mind

C                                      Am
   They’ll hold the match to you this time

                                    G
And watch the smoke rings fit the crime
[Verse 2]
C                            G
   In moments you cannot reprise

        C                                 G
Like a soldier or a watch that you can’t wind 

C                                        Am
   We fought the world with hands twice-tied

Bm                                  Em
   The people cheered, the captain cried

C                          Am
   I’ll keep the souvenir inside

                        G
It’s just better in my mind
[Chorus]
    Em         Bm
And I wouldn’t lie

   G
I never really wanted more

                         Em
Than what I ever really needed after all 

                             G
Someone that hates to see me go
[Verse 3]
C                               G
   You made a promise then you hide

         C                               G
And you said we’d all be dead by twenty-five 

C                              Am
   It’s not your disappointed sigh

Bm                               Em
   It’s not you traded this for pride

C                           Am
   Not that we really even mind

            G
We’re just bored, you’re still alive
[Bridge]
    Em         Bm
And I wouldn’t lie

   G             C
If I tried, take me down

       Am    D        G
And if I... die here now
D Em Em C - D G F#m Em C - D [Outro]
 G                                 D
Wishing wells and magic spells and everything between

Em
Can you tell me what it’s like?

    C   D    C    D  G
Or how it’s going to be?
