Tom: E
E
[Verse 1]
E A
Once I was lost, in the backseat of my best friend's car
E A
Was down on myself, started building walls around my heart
C#m A E B C#m
And it's funny how we can slip so far from the roots that make us who we are, but
A E B E
Sometimes you need to fall in the dirt 'cause it's the journey that makes this life what it's worth
[Verse 2]
E A
I met her when I was face down in the mud
E A
And I'll admit, I was a little too drunk
C#m A E B
But I saw the light in her face, the love in her heart and the way she made
C#m A E
One of my darkest days turn to a memory of grace as she kissed me and said,
B E
Boy I think you'll be okay
[Chorus]
E
Then she looked at me
A E
And the world just slipped away
E
And I knew we could be something
A E F#m E
If I wasn't hiding and she wasn't running away, oh
C#m B F#m E
But we run from whispers of love like thunder, 'cause oh
C#m B F#m
Our hearts've been weathered down to embers
E C#m B F#m
But the sound of her voice that morning, made me want to face the storm again
E C#m B E
So this could be the story of how I broke my heart or how we fell in love
[Verse 3]
E A
Now I think about her in the morning sun
E A
And I feel my walls start to come undone, done, done
C#m A E B
We're just, two kids dancing in reverie holding hands pretending that this could forever be
C#m A E B E
More than just a single night of twenty-something lust raging in the moonlight
[Chorus]
E
But when she looks at me
A E
The world just slips away
E
And I know we could be, something
A E F#m E
If I wasn't hiding and she wasn't running away, oh
C#m B F#m E
But we run from whispers of love like thunder, 'cause oh
C#m B F#m
Our hearts've been weathered down to embers
E C#m B F#m
But the sound of her voice that morning, made me want to face the storm again
E C#m B
So this could be the story of how I won her heart and how we fell in...
B E A
How we fell in love, how we fell in love
E
Oh how we fell in love, love, love
A
Mmmmm
[Bridge]
E
I'm pretty good at make-believe
A
But my heart just never seems to let me
F#m C#m
Play for thrills but I'm scared of the chills that
A B
Would shake my bones if she knew what I really ... think
[Outro]
E
When she looks at me
A E
The world just slips away
A
And I know we could be something...
