[C]Who's gonna stop us from [Am]waltzing
Back into rekindled [G]flames?
[C]We embroidered the [Am]memories
Of the time I was [G]away
[F]I said, "I don't mind[Am], it takes time"
[G]I thought I was better safe than starry-eyed
[F]I felt aglow [Am]like this
[G]Never before and never since
[C]If you know it in [Am]one glimpse, it's legendary
[G]You and I go from one kiss to gettin married
[C]Still alive, killing [Am]time at the cemetery
[G]Never quite buried
In your suit and [F]tie, in the nick of [Am]time
You lowdown [G]boy, you stand up guy
Holy [F]Ghost, you told me [Am]I'm
The love of your [G]life
You said I'm the love of your [C]life [Am]
[G]About a million times
[C]Who's gonna tell me the [Am]truth
When you blew in with the winds of [G]fate
[C]When your impressionist [Am]paintings of Heaven
Turned out to be [G]fakes
[F]And all at once[Am], the ink bleeds
[G]A con man sells a fool a get-love-quick scheme
[F]But I felt a hole[Am] like this
[G]Never before, and ever since
[C]If you know it in [Am]one glimpse
[G]What we thought was for all time
[C]Still alive, killing [Am]time at the cemetery
[G]Never quite buried
You cine[F]phile in black and [Am]white
All those [G]plot twists and dyna[G]mite
Mr. Steal Your [F]Girl, then make her [Am]cry
You said I'm the love of your [G]life
[Dm]You shit talked me under the [C]table
Talking rings and talking [F]cradles
I wish I could un-re[G]call
How we almost had it [Dm]all
Dancing phantoms on the [C]terrace
Are they second-hand em[F]barrassed
That I can't get out of [G]bed?
Cause something counterfeit's [C]dead
[Am]It was legendary [G]
It was momentary [C]
[Am]It was unnecessary
[G]Should've let it stay buried
Oh, what a valiant [F]roar
What a bland good[Am]bye
The coward [G]claimed he was a lion
I'm combing [F]through the braids of [Am]lies
"I'll never [G]leave"...
Our field of [F]dreams, engulfed in [Am]fire
Your arson's [G]match your somber eyes
And I'll still [F]see it until I [Am]die
You're the loss of my [G]life
