[Verse 1]
C               Em
This town was a lovers stage
     G                  C
but now you can't recognise
C                         Em     
the streetlights that are daggers
         G
 to your eyes
F                     Am
You can't find your bearings
       F                  C
you're slipping into the ground
    F            Am          
The scene has no colour and no 
  Em        G
sound.

[Verse 2]
C            Em
You still believe in me
 G                     C
after the things I've done
 C           Em             G
You fear for what we have become
F               Am
The ground is uneven
F                       C
you stumble from day to day
F                   Am
You tread where its easy
              Em
although your feet are like lead
        G                F
and you gotta get underway

[Chorus]
F          C                Em  
Drag your heart up to the 
    Am
starting line
F            C                   
Forget the ghosts that make you old 
G
before your time
F       C            Em     Am
Its too easy to get left behind
Dm
I know you've been kicked around
    F                           
but tie up your thoughts and lay 
                C     Em    G   C
them down on me.

[Verse 3]
C               Em         G    
Each heart is a paper kite blown
               C
 around by the breeze
C                      Em        
Love wont rest till it brings you
          G
 to your knees
F            Am    F            
Some find it easy, some will 
        C
never even know
F                         Am
You think youve done your journey,
           Em                 
then you stumble and find that 
         G
theres such a long way to go

[Chorus]
(F)        C              Em     
Drag your heart up to the 
  Am
starting line
F            C                   
Forget the ghosts that make you old 
G
before your time
F       C            Em     Am
Its too easy to get left behind
Dm
I know you've been kicked around
F
You wanna be lost but now your found
Bb
lets take the back way into town
F
Drink to the bad times
                   C     Em     G
Lay them down on me
     C

[Verse 4]
C             Em
Girl, I still believe in you
         G               C
your too good to fall so low
C                  Em            
we're gonna find a better life I 
G
know
F              Am
Things will be clearer
F                    C
as soon as we make a start
F                  Am
we'll be that much nearer
          Em                    
we're too old to just stand here 
 G                  F
waiting to break apart

[Chorus]
(F)        C              Em     
Drag your heart up to the 
  Am
starting line
F            C                   
Forget the ghosts that make you old 
G
before your time
F       C            Em     Am
Its too easy to get left behind
Dm
I know you've been kicked around
F                              
but tie up your thoughts and lay 
                 C     Em     G  
them down on me.     On me...
