Intro: C C F G C C Am F
C
You called it no man's land

Em                            F
With machine guns blasting to hell

                                   C            G
I let my guard down and carried my heart so far away

         C                                             Em       
And in a letter sent, that I don't want to be here any more than them

                           Am 
I'm sipping on coffee gone stale again

                             F                G
Is this how it tastes to mix drinks with sour grapes?

   Am                  C                   F
So kiss me before it's over, if only for a minute

   Am                  C                   F
So kiss me before it's over, if only for a minute

                     G 
We can argue who was first to bleed

                         C 
Or let your walls do the talking
Interlude: Em C Em C Em Em C
G
(We're falling faster now)
Em C Em C Em Em C
G                        Am    C
But in the middle of the night

Em                      Am     C    
I lay there frozen in a memory

Em                Am   C
Of us down by the river

Em              F             G
With your hands clenched into mine

               Am     C
Well I still remember

Em                   Am   C
All the promises you swore

Em                 Am   C
That we'd never outlive

Em                   F               G
Please tell me you remember, forever friends

   Am                  C                   F
So kiss me before it's over, if only for a minute

   Am                  C                   F
So kiss me before it's over, if only for a minute

                     G
We can argue who was first to bleed

                         C
Or let your walls do the talking
Interlude: C C Am F
              C                     Em
'Cause in the red light I'm singing all alone

             C                        F
I watched my favorite dream fall from grace to stone

              C                     Em
Hiding in the basement, we kept our voices low

                     Am                          G
You gave me that old troubled look that said, "I don't know"

C                       Em
Hold onto twilight, the sun brings empire

Am                     F          G
We are the last fight, we are the fire
And just like your mother said
C                        Em
(Hold onto twilight, the sun brings empire)
You're too pretty and young for this You'll make it better on the outside
Am                      F          G
(We are the last fight, we are the fire)
Just keep your head and keep your fire.
