The Alchemy

D                            Bm
This happens once every few lifetimes
D                            Bm
These chemicals hit me like white wine
D                       G
What if I told you I'm back?
                   D
The hospital was a drag
                        G
Worst sleep that I ever had
                    D
I circled you on a map
                             G
I haven't come around in so long
D                       G
But I'm coming back so strong

         D
So when I touch-down
                                    G
Call the amateurs and cut 'em from the team

Ditch the clowns, get the crown
                     Bm
Baby, I'm the one to beat

'Cause the sign on your heart said it's still
            G
Reserved for me
G                  A
Honestly, who are we to fight thе alchemy?

     C      G
And I chose you
    Em        D
The one I was dancin' with
       C        G
In New York, no shoes
       Em        D
Looked up at the sky and it was
Continues after the ad
    C
The burgundy on my T-shirt
         G
When you splashed your wine into me
            Em
And how the blood rushed into my cheeks
   D
So scarlet, it was
    C
The mark you saw on my collarbone
    G
The rust that grew between telephones
    Em
The lips I used to call home
   D                     C  G  Em  D
So scarlet, it was maroon

      D
These blokes warm the benches
                        G
We've been on a winning streak
                                                 Bm
He jokes that it's heroin, but this time with an E
                                                           G
'Cause the sign on your heart said it's still reserved for me
G                 A
Honestly, who are we to fight the alchemy?

D                                              G
Shirts off, and your friends lift you up over their heads
                                                       D
Beer stickin' to the floor, cheers chanted 'cause they said
                                                     G
There was no chance trying to be the greatest in the league
                                                   D
Where's the trophy? He just comes, running over to me

Em                              D
Carnations you had thought were roses, that's us
C          G
I feel you no matter what
D
The rubies that I gave up
      C                    G
And I wake with your memory over me
         Em                D
That's a real fucking legacy, legacy
      C                    G
And I wake with your memory over me
         Em                 D
That's a real fucking legacy to leave
    C
The burgundy on my T-shirt
         G
When you splashed your wine into me
            Em
And how the blood rushed into my cheeks
   D
So scarlet it was
    C
The mark you saw on my collarbone
    G
The rust that grew between telephones
    Em
The lips I used to call home
   D               C   G Em D
So scarlett the alchemy
D                           Bm
These chemicals hit me like white wine

It was maroon
D                             Bm
This happened once every few lifetimes

It was maroon
