IntroADVerse 1A
Only we know the quiet roads and the vacant malls,
Bm
Or the cool of perfect darkness just outside the sprawl,
F#mEA
Only we heard the drums pumping in the stadium,
Pre-Chorus 1Bm
And built our truths like fires,
F#mD
in the promised land where we come from,
Chorus 1F#m
And when you look now in my eyes, do you see the boy
BmF#m
that swore on every inch of you, our light would never die,
DA
Is a bravery inside me, still clinging to my clothes,
BmA
Like smoke from a fire only we know.
Verse 2A
Only we know how good your daddy's records sound,
Bm
Or just how far a fall it is from the window to the ground,
F#mEA
Only we smell the rain just before it comes,
Pre-Chorus 2Bm
And think first of each other,
F#mD
every time we're burned by love,
Chorus 2F#m
When I look now in your eyes, I still see
BmF#m
the thing that made us lions, the thing that made us free,
DA
And the bravery inside you, still clinging to your clothes,
BmA
Like smoke from a fire only we know.
