[Chorus]
Em C G I will always be the one D Em To break the news if it’s alright Cmaj7 G D I never wanna bring you down, no Em C G I will always be the one D Em To speak the truth if it don’t hurt Cmaj7 G D I never wanna see you frown, no
[Verse 1]
G6 We're laid in G6 Em I’m so happy that it’s raining out again Am I’m so made up that we’re naked in our bed C/G D11/C Like we were twenty-four, back when
[Verse 2]
G6 Ooh, we'll hammer out G6 Em The deeper question needing sorting out Am If there’s an answer, we’ll find it without doubt C/G D11/C We’re a little more than friends
[Bridge]
Am7 G/B Em7 [ Am7 ] We fell through time and space Am7 G/B Em7 [ Am7 ] And cast upon this place Am7 G/B Em7 | Dsus4 | And so far we've been saved

Em C G I will always be the one Dsus4 D(7) Em To break the news if it’s alright Cmaj7 G D I never wanna bring you down, no Em C G I will always be the one D Em To speak the truth if it don’t hurt Cmaj7 G D I never wanna see you frown, no Em Cmaj7 G D I never wanna bring you down, no Em Cmaj7 | G D | I never wanna bring you down
[Verse 3]
G6 It's raining out G6 Em I’m so made up we’ve been making out Am Watching movies in our dressing gowns C/G D11/C Like we were twenty-four ... or thereabout
[Verse 4]
G6 What matters most G6 Em Life’s amazing but it’s been a bumpy road Am No more than lately things have been a little wild C/G D11/C Am I an adult or a child? Don’t feel any different now
[Bridge]
Am7 G/B Em7 [ Am7 ] We watch the world go by Am7 G/B Em7 | Dsus4 | And so far we’ve been fine
