[Intro] Ab Eb Ab Eb x2 [Verse 1]
               Ab
She paints in grey

        Bb
And she closes her eyes

        Ab                     Eb
'Til fireworks and palm trees almost look alike

Ab                       Bb
She looks up to me and whispers

                       Cm  Bb
"I won't be here in a year"

               Ab
So I take the long road

    Bb
To think and wonder why

    Ab                       Eb
I can't sleep with all this sunlight

 Ab                           Bb
If there's still evidence of us

Cm                  Bb
Why can't that be enough?
[Refrain]
                  Eb
I don't mean to drag you down

     Bb                  Ab
You taste just like you always do
[Chorus]
Ab        Bb                Fm
Isabelle hides, so I can't find my way

Eb        Ab    Gm          Fm
I'd give anything just to surround your dreams

          Cm Ab Bb Ab
Oh-oh-oh
[Verse 2]
    Ab
The envy of the dead

Bb
The sound of scissors and sleep

Ab
I can't believe you dreamed

           Eb
And pulled all of your clothes off

Ab
You're not supposed to drink

     Bb
With what's inside your purse

         Fm                F
And not expect me not to call, call you out

 Ab               Bb
I'm guiding your chin to my lips

 Ab            Eb Gm
Using only my fingertips
[Refrain]
Cm
All we have are parking lots and nowhere to go

        Fm            F
If you love me, then show me more
[Chorus]
Ab       Bb                Fm
Isabelle watches me from far away

Eb        Ab   Gm          Fm
I'd give anything just to surround your dreams

                  Cm
I know you like when

                 Bb          Ab
The temperature rises to a boiling heat

     Eb           Fm
The chlorine and wine found
He sees through her nightgown
                  Ab        
And everything fades away
Cm Cm Fm Fm Cm Cm Fm Fm [Bridge]
          Cm
The stars awake

                               Fm
But we can't see them out, so why pretend?

            Cm
Is there a train

                              Fm
That travels back to yours at 5 AM
Or are we walking?
Cm
Car alarms and leaves that blow

        Fm
They're calling out our names

                   Cm
But it's gone too far

                        Fm
Your butane mouth will spit me into flames
Cm Cm Ab G Cm Cm Ab G [Breakdown]
 Cm
Sorry 'bout it, I can't help it

         Ab           G
I'm an anarchist in love

                  Cm
And I forgot to call you
I can't break you down while I
Ab                         G
Think about honey and the sweet New York sounds
[Chorus]
Ab         Bb                Fm
Isabelle hides, so I can't find my way

Eb        Ab  Gm           Fm
I'd give anything to carry on, and on and on the same way

Ab               Bb            Fm
The temperature rises to this boiling heat

Eb                Ab
The chlorine and wine found

                      Cm
He sees through her nightgown

             Fm       F
As Saturday burns away
Ab Gm Fm Ab Gm Fm Ab [Outro]
Ab
Back in the days, when I was young

                 Cm
I’m not a kid anymore

                        Gm         Bb
But some days I sit and wish I was a kid again

Ab
Back in the days when I was young

               Cm
I'm not a kid anymore

                        Gm         Bb
But some days I sit and wish I was a kid again
