Verse 1
[G] [Gmaj7] [Em7] [Cm/Eb]
The whole town is talking 'bout how you've fallen in love

I read in the papers he's someone that girls dream about

Your smile still kills the same

I almost turned around
[Cm]
You chased me to the ground

But how do I begin
[Cmaj7]
To tell you I should've chased

I lay down my sword for fate

'Cause it's too little, way too late

To hear you scream my name

A clear fucking x-ray

Of if I'd stuck around

I swear to God I almost drowned

You asked me how I've been
[Gmaj7]
But how could I begin

Lost my fight with fate

I'll see you at Heaven's gate
