_ _ [Gm] _ I recall once on [Bb] the church steps when I moved to kiss your [F] chest, how we paid such close
[C] attention to each sweet stuttered breath.
[Gm] I should have stopped to paint [Bb] our picture, captured honest [F] pure affection just to document
the difference between attraction [Gm] and connection.
I can see all of [Bb] my friends and I break into [F] empty buildings when the coast was clear [C] with
backpacks full of beer.
We'd [Gm] throw our bottles from the rooftop [C] at this city, it looked endless.
[F] Guess I still don't see the difference [C] between real purpose and that urgent [Gm] adolescence.
I remember [Bb] in a basement sharing sweat with [F] all these stranger boys and girls.
[C] We'll change the world we [A] sang, we'll change the [Gm] world, but nothing seems to change.
[Bb] And they say none of them will listen, [F] but I still see much more power [C] in that basement
[Am] than in worthless [Gm] politicians.
If we get beaten [Bb] by this winter, if we get strangled [F] by regret, just let our love of
[C] life and tension [Am] gasp in sweet and [Gm] stuttered breaths and have them throw us [Bb] in a basement.
Smash the bottles [F] on the ground and say we never [C] knew the difference between the feeling
[Gm] and the sound.
Remember not our [Bb] faulty pieces, remember not our [F] rusted parts.
It's not the petty [Am] imperfections that define us, [G] but the way we hold our hearts [Bb] and the
way we hold our head.
I [F] hope they write your name beside mine [C] on my gravestone when I'm dead [G] and when we are
[Gm] dead, let our voices [Bb] carry on to find a better soul, [F] to find a better song.
Sing [C] along, sing along, sing [Gm] along. _ _ _
