[Intro 1]
[Am][F][G][Am][F][G][Am]

[Verse 1]
We ate the [Am]sacraments,
we drank the [F]wine
We laid our [G]souls out on the [Am]line
We lit the fire, we made the [F]sign
We filled our [G]hearts, emptied our [Am]minds
[G]We kept running till [Dm]we ran out of breath
We [E]laughed along the way like
we were [Am]cheating death
A [G]long ways off, there's a [Dm]mountain to climb
It [G#dim]sure sounded like[E] a good[G#dim]
idea [E]at [G]the [Am]time[F][G][Am]
We took a job, we made some [F]cash
We spoke of [G]love, we dug some [Am]trash
We ate our fill, we had our [F]stash
We'd bide our [G]time until the [Am]crash
Then [G]we'd pack our bags
and [Dm]head down south
[E]Crazy little tombs pouring
[Am]out of our mouths
We emp[G]tied our pockets
and [Dm]spent our last dime
It [E]sure sounded like a good
idea at [G]the [Am]time[F][G][Am]
We bought a clock to rise at [F]dawn
Rolled out of [G]bed and gave a [Am]yawn
The day felt heavy and we were [F]warm
We [G]kissed each other out on the [Am]lawn
A [G]three -legged boxer hobbled [Dm]out of a bus
[E]It sniffed around and
then it [Am]stared at us
Bitter[G]sweet moment that [Dm]we left behind
It [E]sure sounded like a good idea at
the [Am]time[F][G][Am][F][Dm][G]
[Am]The night has come and draped
its [F]wings upon the [G]world
And now it [Am]sings a quiet song
about many [F]things
Like broken [G]trees and wedding [Am]rings
[G]Old books and a [Dm]lover's eyes
[E]A b[G#dim]olt of light[E]ning in an augus[Am]t sky
[G]We fell asleep, our bodies [Dm]covered in lye
It [E]sure sounded like a good idea
at [Dm]the t[Am]ime[F][G][Am][F][G]
[Am]
[F]I am, in l[G]ove, with y[Am]ou
I [F]am, in [G]love, with [Am]you

[Outro 1]
