[Verse 1]
Em                Am7
Hope is very hard when

Em                Am7
Hope is very hard when we

G                    Fmaj7
put ourselves out to sea

Em
We've taken all the right steps

Am
taken all the right steps but

G                        Fmaj7
which doors open with our keys

G
All the neon fires fired in our brains

F
We were thinking that our world was in

Am
danger

            Am
But then we entered the fray
[Verse 2]
G
All the rest they could

C
not compare, your

F
smile said that you cared

Fmaj7
And It felt so wonderful

Fmaj7
Now all these memories I can't

G
wash them away, they are

Em
destined to stay

Am
And they feel like a heaven
N.C. those
[Chorus]
F
pho-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-tah-

G       Em
graphic memories

G           Em          G
and they'll die on with me
[Verse 3]
G
All your faults I did

Cmaj7
cherish them all, I

F
helped you up when you'd fall

G
You did the same for me too

C
Into my life, you ah

Am
rived right on time, you

Fmaj7
must have been a sign

F
and now I’m left with all these

[Chorus]
G                     Fmaj7
pho-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-tah-

        Em   Am
graphic memories

Cmaj7
and they'll die on with me
[Bridge]
G
Your eyes

F
burn two giant holes

C
straight in my heart

F
my love spills out

Em
conquers you whole

C
Now we're swimming

G
around in the love

F
and it soaks into our skin

G
though mine is metal

Cmaj7
and yours is flesh.

F                             Am7
our differences make this the best

C
Love in town and we skip to every

G
destination

F                     C
we're putting on show everywhere we go

Cmaj7
sparks fly from my lips

Em
its an electric kiss

Fmaj7            G
Static’s abound, frequency sounds

F               C
hand in hand we dance around

G                               Fmaj7
I'm generating lots of love holding your hand

G                                Em         F
They can hear our motors turning across the land
[Verse 4]
G
All our love well it

F
put us at ease and it

Em                Am
Somehow made time freeze

G                       Fmaj7
And it seemed like it’d never end

G
Both of our hearts seemed to

F
Intertwine, when

C
We met for the first time

Am
And now I can’t stop thinking about those

[Chorus]
G
pho-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-tah-

Fmaj7   Em    Am
graphic memories

G                       C
and they'll die on with me
[Verse 5]
Em                Am
Hope is very hard when

Em                    Am
Hope is very hard when you've

Fmaj7                  Cmaj7
lost the thing you had before

Em                   Am
I took all the right steps

Em                   C
I took all the right steps and I

Cmaj7              G
unlocked the right doors

G
All the neon fires died out in my brain

Am
And I grew numb to that feeling of

Em
pain

Fmaj7               F
why did you have to go
(EITHER USE INTRO TAB HERE OR CHORDS) [Verse 6]
C
All the rest they could

E
never compare, your

Am                       C
smile showed me that you cared

G              Fmaj7
And it felt so wonderful

Am                  Em
All those memories I can't

C
wash them away, they are

Fmaj7
embedded in my brain

             Em
And I am all alone now with
these
[Chorus]
Em                    Am
pho-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-tah-

G       Fmaj7
graphic memories

Cmaj7                   F
and they'll die on with me...
