[Intro] C Am7 F C Am7 F C Am7 F C Am7 F* [Verse 1]
C                Am7        F                    C       Am7
  You said "I'll come back,   I'll come back for you my love

F
  Wait for me"

C                   Am7   F                      C     Am7
You said you're the only,   you've been the only one I love

F                    C
  And love believes

    C         Am7           F            G     C    Am7      F           G
But love is a bird that you kept in your coat, warm until it died in the dark

    C            Am7          F             G
And death is the love of what hurts you the most

       C                               C*
So you drink your day away till you're warm as paradise
[Pre-Chorus]
C       Am7      F       G           C       Am7     F G
I'm not hurt I'm broken, but I called to say I'm fine

      C         Am7 F                     C           Am7           F
And I heard you had another love, but I'd love you to think I don't mind

    C            Am7        F           C    Am7                  F   G
The baby in your arms ain't mine, but I made believe as though it was

    C                Am7       F                       C
And I didn't mean to call this late but I think I'm in love

         Am7        F
With the thought of us
[Bridge] C (six strums), C (5 strums) Am7 (six strums), Am7 (5 strums) F (six strums), F (5 strums) C (six strums), C (5 strums) [Verse 2]
       C
So you drink your day away till the liquor in your mouth laughs

    Am7
And mirrors paint you beautiful like older photographs

       F                                  C
But we grow, we grow old, even this won't last

    C
And no one understands and no one cares at all

            Am7
And they're tearing down our sacred places in the hall

     F                                                         C
You know I hate to dance, still you ask, still you ask for my hand
[Chorus]
      C                                    Am7
But I love you like the kids love throwing bottles of the bridge

             C                         F             C
And breaking in to trade your fix for American shoes

    Am7
For American shoes

          C               F
I've been dying to lie awake in a room for two

C      Am7       F                    C  Am7      F
  I'll come back,  I'll come back for you my love
[Bridge]

But love is a bird that you kept in your coat, warm until it died in the dark

    C            Am7          F             G
And death is the love of what hurts you the most

       C                               C*
So you drink your day away till you're warm as paradise
