[Intro 1]
[G][Em][C][G][Em][C]
You said I'll [Am]come back,

[Verse 1]
[C]
I'll come back [G]for you my [Em]love,
[C]wait for me
[G]You said you're the [Em]only,
[C]You've been the only one[G] I lov[Em]e,
[C]and love believes
[G]But lov[Em]e is a b[C]ird that
you [G]kept in your [D]coat
[Em]Warm [C]un til it [G]died in [D]the dark
And [Em]death is the [C]love of what
[G]hurts you [D]the most
So you [C]drink your day away till
you're warm as paradise
[G]

[Verse 2]
[G]I'm not [D]hurt I'm [Em]broken,
But I [C]called to say I'm [G]fine
And I heard you [D]had an[Em]other love,
But I'd [C]love you to think I don't mind
[G]The baby in your [D]arms ain't [Em]mine,
But I [C]made believe as though [G]it was
And I didn't mean [F#m]to call this
[Em]late but I think I'm in [C]love

[Interlude 1]
With the thought of us
[G][Em][C][G]

[Verse 3]
So [G]you drink your day away till the
liquor in your mouth laughs,
And [Em]mirrors paint you beautiful
like older photographs,
But we [C]grow, we grow old,
Even this won't [G]last
No one understands, no one cares at all
And they're [Em]tearing down our
sacred places in the hall
You [C]know I hate to dance,
Still you ask, still you ask for my [G]hand

[Verse 4]
[G]I love you like the kids love
throwing [Em]bottles of the bridge
And breaking [G]in to trade your
fix for [C]American [G]shoes
For [Em]American shoes,
I've been [G]dying to lie [C]awake
In a room for two, but
I'll come back,
I'll come back [G]for you [C]my [Em]love[C]
But [Em]love is a [C]bird that you
[G]kept in your [D]coat
[Em]Warm un[C]til it [G]died in [D]the dark
And [Em]death is [C]the love of what
[G]hurts you [D]the most
So you [C]drink your day away till
you're warm as paradise
[G]

[Verse 5]
[G]I'm not [D]hurt I'm [Em]broken,
But [C]I called to say I'm [G]fine
And I heard you [D]had an[Em]other love,
But I'd [C]love you to think
I [G]don't mind
The baby [D]in your arms ain't [Em]mine,
But I [C]made believe as though it was
[G]And I didn't mean to cal[D]l this
[Em]late but I think I'm in [C]love
With the thought of [G]us

[Interlude 2]
[Em][C][G]
[Em][C]

[Verse 6]
[C]And [G]I love you like the kids love
throwing [Em]bottles of the bridge
And breaking [G]in to trade your fix for
[C]American [G]shoes
[Em]For American shoes,
I've been [G]dying to lie [C]awake
In a room for two
And I'll come back,
I'll come back for [G]you [C]my [Em]love
