Am       Am7             Am              Am7 
Drifting apart, getting hard to hold you

Am       Am7             Am              Am7 
Days getting dark and the nights are growing cold

            F               G
Are we burning out?

Am       Am7             Am              A7
Swept out of sight, rolling up on an ocean

Am       Am7             Am              A7
Let's cut all the ropes and get lost in the moment

         F                   G                               
If our hearts are alive, maybe then we might

Am       Am7             G
Send us back to the sun
[Chorus]
      F       C
Now I know, I know

           E7                G
That we're losing light, our love is dying

F               C
Out cold on the floor

       E7               Am                     G
Like a fallen star that shines no more

F            C  Dm                      A7       G
Take, take-a-me back to where we was before

                F   C        Dm  Am    
When we were on fire,        fire
[Verse]
Am              Am7             Am      Am7 
Head down, heading underground feeling wasted

Am              Am7             Am      Am7 
Cold to the bone, so alone I can taste it

        F            G
Let's light it up

Am              Am7             Am      Am7 
Streets are alive now, and everything's bracing

Am              Am7             Am      Am7 
You're on my mind, running in my veins fueling the flame

        F            G        Am     Am7 Am
Let's start it again
[Chorus]
      F       C
Now I know, I know

           E7                Am                G
That we're losing light, our love is dying

F               C
Out cold on the floor

       E7               Am                       G
Like a fallen star that shines no more

F            C  Dm                   Am        
Take, take-a-me back to where we was before

     G          F   C           Dm  Am
When we were on fire,           fire

                F   C           Dm  Am
When we were on fire,           fire
[Bridge]
Am       Am7             Am                        A7 
Oh, oh, whoa, oh, whoa-oh-oh, now don't tell me no

Am       Am7             Am          A7
That we're burning down

Am       Am7             Am                        A7
Oh, oh, whoa, oh, whoa-oh-oh, now don't tell me no

Am       Am7             Am          A7
That we're burning now

F         C          E7                  Am             G
I know, I know we're losing light and our love is dying

F        C                 
Take me, take-a-me home

Dm                   Am          G          F   C     Dm  Am
Back to where we was before when we were on fire,     fire
[Chorus]
      F       C
Now I know, I know

           E7                Am               G
That we're losing light, our love is dying

F               C
Out cold on the floor

       E7               Am                    G
Like a fallen star that shines no more

F            C  Dm                     Am     G           
Take, take-a-me back to where we was before

                F  C            Dm  Am  
When we were on fire,           fire
