Verse
 
A                     A                     C#m 
  Do you remember the taste of my lips that night 
                    B 
I stole a bit of my mother's perfume 
A                          A 
  Cause I remember when my father put his fist through 
    C#m                      B 
The wall that separated the dining room 
A                    A 
  And I remember the fear in your eyes 
     C#m                B 
The very first time we snuck into the city pool 
A                       A                         C#m 
  Late December with my heart in my chest and the clouds of my breath 
       B 
Didn't know where we were running to 
B 
  But don't look back 
 
Chorus
 
                     A 
We'll be looking for sunlight 
       A 
Or the headlights 
         C#m             B 
Till our wide eyes burn blind 
                    A 
We'll be lacing the same shoes 
           A 
That we've worn through 
       C#m            B 
To the bottom of the line 
                       A 
And we know that we're headstrong 
        A 
And our heart's gone 
        C#m             B 
And the timing's never right 
        A             A 
But for now let's get away 
     C#m        B 
On a Roman holiday

Verse
 
A                       A 
  Could you imagine the taste of your lips 
      C#m                         B 
If we never tried to kiss on the drive to Queen's 
A                     A 
  Cause I imagine the weight of your ribs 
       C#m                          B 
If you lied between my hips in the backseat 
A               A 
  I imagine the tears in your eyes 
    C#m                    B 
The very first night I'll sleep without you 
A                             A 
  And when it happens I'll be miles away 
      C#m 
And a few months late 
       B 
Didn't know where I was running to 
B 
  But I won't look back 
 
Chorus
 
                     A 
We'll be looking for sunlight 
       A 
Or the headlights 
         C#m             B 
Till our wide eyes burn blind 
                    A 
We'll be lacing the same shoes 
           A

And we know that we're headstrong 
        A 
And our heart's gone 
        C#m             B 
And the timing's never right 
        A             A 
But for now let's get away

  Feet first, don't fall 
         B         N/C 
We'll be running again 
A      A            C#m    B 
  Keep close, stand tall
