C Am Dm7
This is for those who were lucky enough to fall in love
G C
When they were young
C Am
Not just that usual teenage stuff
Dm7 G
A fumble of feelings all fingers and tongues
F G F G
Intertwining breath touch like trembling leaves
[Verse 2]
C Am
This is for those who were really free
Dm7 G
Though locked in a mutual field of vision
C Am
Each others eyes are all they see
Dm7 G
A jail without walls an open prison
F G F G
Even when apart in earshot of the heart
[Verse 3]
C Am
And this is for those who knowing the risk
Dm7 G
Threw caution to the wind of chance
C Am
Abandoned in the singing mist
Dm7 G
As on the precipice they danced
F G F G
Seeds of sycamore spinning to the floor
[Verse 4]
C Am
This is for those who without complaint
Dm7 G
Lay on a bed of their own making
C Am
Their sated hunger left them faint
Dm7 G
Through fitful sleep to cruel awakening
F G F G
For their pities sake the cradling bough must break
[Verse 5]
C Am
But this is for those who loved so strong
Dm7 G
That it shattered the rocks and left them aching
C Am
Stunned into silence both deafened and dumb
Dm7 G
By the terrible sound of one heart breaking
F G F G
Charred and acrid breeze lightening blackened trees
[outro]
C Am
But this is for those who were lucky enough
Dm7
To fall in love
G C
When they were young
