DmFBb
Not whole, not wholly separate, but syncopated
CDm
Single in our nature, and because of the times
F
Not a word was said when the lights came on
BbC
Or a glance given pause at the cost of our desired wrongs
DmF
It's second nature to love you, it's first to die
BbCDm
And we were killed upon waking, killed upon waking to the life
F
We weren't prepared to live but rebelled to realize
BbC
We were killed upon the pavement, Bonnie we're immortalized in
[Chorus]
DmF
Blood, cold, cold love, we were still young
BbC
When the radio lights came on
DmF
Elton's on the air, no fair dear that we were still here
BbC
In the absence of everything, abstain from fear
Dm
And if I cry in your arms
FBb
Just some other shit, just some other shit
C
Just some other things that I've been dealing with
DmF
I'd die in your arms, bury me while playing this
BbC
Bury me saying "You were all I ever needed"
DmF
And hold me like we're dying from the liquor that we drank
BbC
Down in hotel rooms, to feel warm in cold love
[Verse 2]
DmF
What's harder, harder to say?
Bb
That you want me to stay
CDm
That you want me to stay unchanged for you?
FBbC
Chained to a lie, we're the same, you and I, we're the same
DmFBb
Not the same, we hurt differently, but consistent in our pain
CDm
Equal and equidistant in the way we laugh
F
To lay bare the weight of our cold love affair
BbC
Recalling the days where we were, we weren't, we were
DmF
Wrong for the papers, wrong for the dinner tables
BbC
Of the inner rings of the rich and famous anythings
DmFBb
It's gone, not bad, just gone, my bad, just wrong, we had
C
And we had, and we were then in
[Chorus]
DmF
Blood, cold, cold love, we were still young
BbC
When the radio lights came on
DmF
Elton's on the air, no fair dear that we were still here
BbC
In the absence of everything, abstain from fear
Dm
And if I cry in your arms
FBb
Just some other shit, just some other shit
C
Just some other things that I've been dealing with
DmF
I'd die in your arms, bury me while playing this
BbC
Bury me saying "You were all I ever needed"
DmF
And hold me like we're dying from the liquor that we drank
BbC
Cown in hotel rooms, to feel warm in cold love
[Outro]
DmF
What's harder, harder to say?
Bb
That you want me to stay
CDm
That you want me to stay unchanged for you?
FBbC
Chained to a lie, we're the same, you and I, we're the same
DmF
What's harder, harder to fake?
Bb
That you want me to stay
CDm
That you want me to stay the same for you?
FBbC
Chained to a lie, who's to blame? Let it die, we're the same
DmF
In blood, cold, cold love, we were still young
BbC
When the radio lights came on
DmBbF
Elton's on the air
