[Intro 1]
[D][E][D][E][D][E][Am]
[E][G][D][Bm][D][Bm][E]
[G]
[D][Bm]

[Verse 1]
[E]There's no easy [Bm]answer
[D]None [Bm]to blame or forgive
[E]Two cri[Bm]pples dan[G]cing
[Bm]To t[D]he e[Bm]nd we live[D]

[Verse 2]
[Am]I'm not with you not of you
Not [G]with you, not [D]of you
[E]You are soft and young to me
I [D]am the ghost who [Bm]comes [E]an d goes
And I [Bm]hope [G]I'll catch [D]you
In the throws of one last
[Am]look at the wonder
One last [Gm]look [G]at the [Bm]wonder

[Verse 3]
[E]O, God, I love you
And [Bm]all the past we once knew
[D]Som[E]e other love becomes you
[Bm]Whatever else we come [D]to[C]
I know we could be [Bm]so happy, baby
If [E]we [Abdim]wanted to be

[Verse 4]
[E]
You are soft and young [Em]to me[E]
[D]I am the ghost who comes and goe[E]s
I'm hop[G]ing [D]that I'll catch
you in [Bm]the t[D]hrows
Of one [Am]last look at joy that
[G]we've [D]become

[Verse 5]
But [E]there's no easy answer,
none [D]to blame or forgive
We were [E]two cripples dan[D]cing[G]
[D]To the bitter end we live
I'm not [Am]with you, but of you
I'm not [G]with you but of [Bm]you

[Verse 6]
[E]O, God, I loved you
And [Bm]all the past we once k[D]new
[E]Some other love becomes you
[Bm]Whatever [E]else [Bm]it c[E]omes t[D]o[C]
I know we could be [Bm]so happy, baby
If [D]we [Abdim]wanted to be

[Interlude 1]
[Abdim][D][Em][Am]

[Verse 7]
[Am]We had a birthplace [D]in common
[Em]We h[Am]ad separate
beds and [Bm]lives
[D][Am]

[Verse 8]
[C]I'll just sit[Em] here and glow
[D]Break out the [Bm]oldest [D]pictures[Em]
[E]Hand your ruined letter[Am]s out[Bm] to dry
We had a [Am]birthplace in common
[Bm]And separate beds and
[D]lives[E][D][E][D][Bm][D][E][D]
And lives, and lives
[Bm]I kn[D]ow t[Em]hat we cou[C]ld be so happy[D],
[Bm]baby[D]
If we wanted to be
I [C]know that we could be [Em]so happy,
[D]baby[Bm][D]

[Outro 1]
Yeah oh.
[D][D][D][D][Abdim]
[D][Em][G][Em]
