[D#]
[Bm] I [F#m] don't want [D] to hurt you [F#m]
[D] No reason to [A] laugh [C#m] but fear
[Dm] And
[D] I ain't guilty [A]
[D] of crimes accused [A] before
[D] But I'm [A] guilty [C#m] of reason
[Dm] [Em] [D] I'm sorry to [A] remind [D] you But I'm scared of what feels great [A] in
[E] This love [F] affair
[D] You don't get summer for nothing
So [F#m]
[D] now, [F#m] go and try a [C#m] little harder [Dm] It [Em] could [D]
be sweet
[A]
[Bm] Like a long forgotten dream [A]
[C#m] And [Dm] [Em] [D]
we don't need them to cast a fate we
[F#m] have

[D] [G] Cause [D]
I don't want to [A]
[D] lose What we had [A] last time [D] you were leaving

But the thoughts we tried to [A] deny [D] Take a toll upon [A] our [D] lives
We struggle on in depths [A] of pride [C#m] Tangled up [Dm] in single [Em] minds
[D] Cause I don't want [A] to [D] lose What we had [A] last time [Bm] you were [D] leaving
