Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][G]
[D][G]

[Verse 1]
For the [D]wolves we fought
when a [G]child was brave
Days on a [D]Southern strand
Where we'd all pretend to be [G]touring
And I'd [D]wait all night
for the [G]smile you'd saved
Or how the wind [D]would howl
Better head back now, it's a [G]warning

[Chorus 1]
[D][G]
[Bm]We were swimming out so far
this [D]time[G]
[Bm]Sun and your eyes
were the only [D]fire[G]
[Bm]Pretty intimate so far,
so [D]I l[G]it a holy fire[Bm]

[Interlude 1]
[D][Bm]
[D][Bm]

[Verse 2]
So we [D]all gather our ghosts
'round the [Bm]is land flames
Oh, and the [D]song she throws
is not one I know
But it [Bm]knew [A]me
For an [D]age long lost in [Bm]time, erased
Days when they [D]called our names
Stories tucked away, you tell it [Bm]to me

[Chorus 2]
[D][G]
[Bm]We were swimming out so far
[A]this [D]time[G]
[Bm]Sun and your eyes
were the [A]only [D]fire[G]
[Bm]Pretty intimate so far,
[A]so [D]I l[G]it a holy fire[Bm][A]

[Bridge 1]
[D][G][Bm]
[D][G][Bm]
[D]Take me back to places [G]I feel loved i[Bm]n
[D]Maybe failing that, take [G]me to [Bm]Boston[A]
[D]Strange that I'm not seeing [G]you as [Bm]often
[D]Wandering 'round in cities [G]I feel lost in
[Bm]What if all the costs are even

[Interlude 2]
[D][G][Em]
[Bm][G][Em]
[D][G]

[Outro 1]
[Em]We were swimming out so far this time
[Bm](Take me to Bo[G]ston, Boston)
[Em]Sun and your eyes were the only fire
[Bm](Take me back to places
[G]I feel loved in, loved in)
[Em]Pretty intimate so far, so I
[D](Wandering 'round in cities [G]I feel lost in, lost in)
[Em]Eyes of eye-eye, eyes of, a holy fire
