Chords

[Intro] A Bm F#m [Verse 1]
A          Bm         F#m
I went and bought you flowers

      A         Bm          F#m
But I gave them away to somebody else

A       Bm        F#m
We made plans for hours

      A          Bm           F#m
But I lived them out with somebody else
[Pre-Chorus 1]
N.C.            D
Someone had the life, had the cries, had the first dance

      E
Butterflies in the back of my old car
[Chorus]
F#m        D
A thousand lives

D           A
Caught in a fire-ire-ire-ire

E                   F#m
Dancing on hallowed ground

F#m         D
I count the times

D            A
We tried but I-I-I-I

E                       F#m
Know some stories don't play out

F#m       D
We took a shot

D       A                         E                F#m
But the truth is that we couldn't live through the pain

F#m        D
A thousand lives

D       A        Bm               F#m
Now I'm sat here thinking what if one went right
[Verse 2]
A           Bm             F#m
I kept your letters in the basement

     A            Bm              F#m
Of a house that I bought with somebody else

A          Bm         F#m
I went and bought a bracelet

      A                 Bm          F#m
But I wrote a different name when I engraved it
[Pre-Chorus 2]
N.C.            D
Someone had the life, had the cries, had the first dance

      E
Butterflies in the back of my old car

       D
It was gone in a rush

         E
Now it's all in the dust, oh
[Chorus]
F#m        D
A thousand lives

D           A
Caught in a fire-ire-ire-ire

E                   F#m
Dancing on hallowed ground

F#m         D
I count the times

D            A
We tried but I-I-I-I

E                       F#m
Know some stories don't play out

F#m       D
We took a shot

D       A                         E                F#m
But the truth is that we couldn't live through the pain

F#m        D
A thousand lives

D       A        Bm               F#m
Now I'm sat here thinking what if one went right
[Bridge]
D
Every face

      E
Every place

E
Makes me think about it

F#m                       E    D
Every doubt, but it's too late now

D
Every street

      E
Every scene

E
Makes me think about it

F#m                  C#      F#m
Every need, but it's too late
[Chorus]
F#m        D
A thousand lives

D           A
Caught in a fire-ire-ire-ire

E                   F#m
Dancing on hallowed ground

F#m         D
I count the times

D            A
We tried but I-I-I-I

E                       F#m
Know some stories don't play out

F#m       D
We took a shot

D       A                         E                F#m
But the truth is that we couldn't live through the pain

F#m        D
A thousand lives

D       A        Bm               F#m
Now I'm sat here thinking what if one went right
