Comets

Intro:

Am - C - G - F (2x)


Verse:


Am                G
Am I a terrible lie, just a southern mess?

C                    G
Am I the signature you’ll forge on the birthday cards

Am                   C
that I’ll forget to send

       Am                C
can we please just not pretend

             Am                    C
that all my thoughtlessness had purpose

         G                      F     Am - F - C
do you think that it was worth it?


Pre Chorus:

                       Am              F      G (let it ring)
I’m not they same as I was when we were younger


Chorus:


C                     G
We swam out past the shallow breakers

   Am                   G
I never thought that the tide would take us

   Am            C        G         F
we live just to love and learn to give it up

Am     C     G        F
we are in the arms of lovers

C                G
we are hopeless we’re all comets

   Am                G
with love for someone carried on us

Am               C         G           F
we live just to learn but hope never gives us up

Am     C     G        F
we are in the arms of lovers

Am            C         F         Am       C         G
Soldiers with heavy hearts just reach out into the dark


Verse 2:


Am                                G
You found me walking through our town in the dead of night

C
I was looking for you

G                                Am            C
I always thought that if you loved me in the end

          Am               C            Am            C           G                 F       
I could fall but I would mend but I’m tired of this secret cos I know that I can’t keep it
Am - F - C
