Intro: Am, C, F, Am, F (x2)


Verse 1:
Am                F
Hold yourself I’m done 
            C      F
My arms are tired  
Am              F
Saw you walking backwards 
            C      F
Towards the fires  
                  Am       C
I’m in love with a red sky  
                   F
I’m in love with a tragedy 
                    Am
We’ll betray what we can’t deny 
                    F
Cause I believe she needs me 


Verse 2:
Am
Caught a flash of… 
F           C       F 
Absolute perfection  
Am                  F
Shattered light fell dark 
       C            F
In all directions  
                     Am       C
Traffic floats like a ballet  
                 F
Far below in the distance 
                   Am
Just as sad as the words we’d say 
                    F
It’s all gone in an instant 


Chorus:
             Am         F
It’s just so easy, it’s hard 
             Am         F
It’s just so easy, it’s hard 
Am              F
Pull me closer  
C               F
I can’t feel you  
       Am                F
You’ll have to trust me  
C                  F
I can’t steal you  


Interlude: Am, C, F, Am, F
 

Verse 3:
Am                F
Ashtrays lie like hearts 
           C        F
For you to burn in  
Am                    F
Smoke curls from your mouth 
           C        F
Before you turn in  

Our love is a black gun 
                       F
I feel the loss in the mundane 

In the hours, the minutes run 
                                F
They’re just so subtle but they have their way 


Chorus:
             Am         F
It’s just so easy, it’s hard 
             Am         F
It’s just so easy, it’s hard 
Am              F
Pull me closer  
C               F
I can’t feel you  
       Am                F
You’ll have to trust me  
C                  F
I can’t steal you
