[Verse 1]
Em7 G D
Our coming-of-age has come and gone
D
Suddenly this summer, it's clear
Em7 G D
I never had the courage of my convictions
D
As long as danger is near
G D
And it's just around the corner, darlin'
D
'Cause it lives in me
Em D
No, I could never give you peace
[Chorus]
Em
But I'm a fire and I'll keep your brittle heart warm
D
If your cascade, ocean wave blues come
Em
All these people think love's for show
D
But I would die for you in secret
Em D
The devil's in the details, but you got a friend in me
Em D
Would it be enough if I could never give you peace?
[Verse 2]
Em7 G D
Your integrity makes me seem small
D
You paint dreamscapes on the wall
Em7 G D A D
I talk sh*t with my friends, it's like I'm wasting your honor
[Bridge]
Bm A
And you know that I'd swing with you for the fences
G
Sit with you in the trenches
Asus4
Give you my wild, give you a child
G
Give you the silence that only comes when two people understand each other
Bm Em
Family that I chose, now that I see your brother as my brother
D
Is it enough?
Em
But there's robbers to the east, clowns to the west
F#m
I'd give you my sunshine, give you my best
Em D
But the rain is always gonna come if you're standin' with me
[Chorus]
Em
But I'm a fire and I'll keep your brittle heart warm
D
If your cascade, ocean wave blues come
Em
All these people think love's for show
D
But I would die for you in secret
Em D
The devil's in the details, but you got a friend in me
Em D
Would it be enough if I could never give you peace?
[Outro]
Em7 D
Would it be enough if I could never give you peace?
Em7 D
Would it be enough if I could never give you peace?
