1. State of Grace
Standard Tuning w/
Capo on 2
Intro
[D] [G]
[D]
I'm walking fast through the traffic lights
Busy streets and busy lives
[G]
And all we know, is touch and go
[D]
We are alone with our changing minds
We fall in love 'til it hurts or bleeds
[G]
Or fades in time
[D] [G]
And I never (never), saw you coming
[D] [G]
And I'll never, be the same
[D] [G]
[D]
You come around and the armor falls
Pierce the room like a cannonball
[G]
Now all we know... is don't let go
[D]
We are alone just you and me
Up in your room, and our slates are clean
[G]
Just twin fire signs, four blue eyes
[D]
So you were never a saint
And I've loved in shades of wrong
We learned to live with the pain
Mosaic broken hearts
[G]
But this love is brave and wild
[D] [G]
And I never (never), saw you coming
[D] [G]
And I'll never, be the same
[D]*-once
This is a state of grace
[G]*
This is the worthwhile fight
[Em]
Love is a ruthless game
[D] [G]
Unless you play it good and right
[D]
These are the hands of fate
[G]
You're my Achilles heel
[Em]
This is the golden age of something
[D] [G]-once
Good and right and real
[D] [G]
And I never (never), saw you coming
[D] [G]
And I'll never, be the same
[D] [G]
I never (never), saw you coming
[D] [G]
And I'll never, be the same
[D]*-once
This is a state of grace
[G]*
This is the worthwhile fight
[Em]*
Love is a ruthless game
[D]* [G]*
Unless you play it good and right

[F] [Am] [G]
[F] [Am]
Lovin' him is like, drivin' a new Maserati
[G]
Down a dead end street
[F] [Am]
Faster than the wind, passionate as sin
[G]
Ended so suddenly
[F]
Loving him is like, tryin' to change your mind
[Am] [G]
Once you're already flying through the free fall
[F] [Am]
Like the colors in autumn so bright

[G]
Was right there in front of you
[F] [Am]
Memorizing him was as, easy as knowin' all the words
[G]
To your old favorite song
[F]
Fighting with him was like tryin' to solve a
[Am] [G]
Crossword and realizing there's no right answer
[F] [Am]
Regretting him was like wishing you never found love
[G]
But love could be that srong
[F] [C]
Losing him was blue, like I'd never known
[G]
Missing him was dark grey, all alone
[F] [Am]
Forgetting him was like trying to know somebody

Remembering him comes in flashbacks and echos

Tellin' myself it's time now gotta let go

But moving on from him is impossible

When I still see it all in my, head

His love was like, drivin' a new Maserati

Down a dead end street.

[C] [G]
Left my scarf there at your sisters house
Am F-once
And you still got it, in your drawer, even now
[C] [G] [Am] [F]
[C] [G]
Oh your sweet dispositon and my wide eyed gaze
[Am] [F]
We're singing in the car getting lost upstate
[C] [G]
The autumn leaves falling down like pieces into place
[Am] [F]
And I can picture it after all these days
[C] [G]
And I know it's long gone and, and magics not here no more
[Am] [G] [F] [G] [Am] [G]
And I might be okay but I'm not fine at all
[C] [G]
Cause there we are again on that little town street
[Am] [F]
You almost ran the red cause you were lookin' over at me
[C] [G] [Am] [F]
Wind in my hair, I was there, I remember it all too well
[C] [G]
Photo album on the counter your cheeks were turing red
[Am] [F]
You used to be a little kid with glasses in a twin size bed
[C] [G]
And your mothers telling stories 'bout you on a t-ball team
[Am] [F]
You tell me about your past thinkin' your future was me
[C] [G]
And I know it's long gone and it was nothing else I could do
[Am] [G] [F] [G] [Am] [G]
And I forget about you long enough to forget why I needed too

We dance around the kitchen in the refrigerator light
[C] [G] [Am] [F]
Down the stairs, I was there, I remember it all too well
[C] [G] [Am] [F] [G]
[C] [G]
And maybe we got lost in translation maybe I asked for too much
[Am] [F]
But maybe this thing was a masterpiece 'til you tore it all up
[C] [G] [Am] [F]
Running scared, I was there, I remember it all too well
[C] [G]
Hey you call me up again just to break me like a promise
[Am] [F]
So casually cruel in the name of being honest
[C] [G]
I'm a crumpled up piece of paper lyin' here
[Am] [F] [C] [G] [Am] [F]
Cause I remember it all all all too well
[C] [G]
Time won't fly it's like I'm paralyzed by it
[Am] [F]
I'd like to be my old self again but I'm still tryin' to find it
[C] [G]
After plaid shirt days and nights when you made me your own
[Am] [F]
Now you mail back my things and I walk home alone
[C] [G]
But you keep my old scarf from that very first week
[Am] [F]
Cause it reminds you of innocence and it smells like me
[C] [G] [Am] [F]
You cant get rid of it cause you remember it all too well yeah
[C] [G]
Cause there we are again when I loved you so
[Am] [F]
Back before you lost the one real thing you've ever known

Wind in my hair, you were there, you remember it oh

I was expecting some dramatic turn away

This morning I said we should talk about it
[G] [Cadd9] [Em7] [Dsus4]

Before you I only dated self indulgent takers
[G] [Cadd9] [Em7] [Dsus4]
Who took all of their problems out on me
[G] [Cadd9] [Em7] [Dsus4]
But you carry my groceries and now I'm always laughing

Em7 -once
You took the time to memorize me
Cadd9 -once
My fears, my hopes and dreams
[G]
I just like hanging out with you

All those times that you didn't leave

Intro: [E]
[E]
I was reminiscing just the other day
While having coffee all alone and Lord it took me away
[A]
Back to a first-glance feeling on New York time
Back when you fit in my poems like a perfect rhyme
[E]
Took off fast through the green light go
Hey skip the conversation and you already know
[C#m]
I left a note on the door with a joke we'd made
[A]
And that was the first day
[B] [C#m] [A]
And darling it was good
[B] [C#m] [A]
Never looking down
[B] [C#m] [A]
And right there where we stood
[E] [A]
Was holy ground
[E]
Spinning like a girl in a brand new dress
We had this big wide city all to ourselves
[A]
We blocked the noise with the sound of I need you
And for the first time I had something to lose
[E]
Well I guess we fell apart in the usual way
And the story's got dust on every page
[C#m]
Sometimes I wonder how you think about it now
[A]
And I see your face in every crowd
[B] [C#m] [A]
And darling it was good
[B] [C#m] [A]
Never looking down
[B] [C#m] [A]
And right there where we stood
[E] [A] [C#m] [A]
Was holy ground
[E] [A]
Tonight I'm gonna dance for all that we've been through
But I don't wanna dance if I'm not dancing with you
[E] [A]
Tonight I'm gonna dance like you were in this room
[B]
But I don't wanna dance if I'm not dancing with you
[C#m] [A]
It was good
[B] [C#m] [A]
Never looking down
