Capo on 3rd fret
              
 
 
 
C         Em        Am       Em 
maybe you thought I hung the moon 
F        (C)              F        G 
maybe you thought we were Johnny & June 
C        Em             Am      Em 
maybe we thought it was just us two 
F        G         C 
maybe we spoke too soon 
 
 
C        Em         Am         Em 
we never lie and we don't tell tales 
F           (C)             F     G 
we bite our tongues and our fingernails 
C          Em          Am         Em 
we fall in love and we don't fall out 
F        G        C 
maybe we speak to soon 
 
 
 
C         Em7     Am 
here's to you and me 
    Em   F 
and in between 
   C      G 
we draw a line 
           
but we can't  
C   Em7        Am 
see where it's bent 
   Em          F 
we scratch our heads 
    C    G 
and race against 
           C       Em    Am    Em    F   G  C 
the hearts content 
 
C        Em          Am       Em 
maybe we hurt who we love the most 
F          C          G 
maybe it's all we can stand 
C        Em               Am       Em 
maybe we walk through the world as ghosts 
         F         G          C 
break my own heart before you can 
 
Chorus
 
 
C        Em           Am    Em 
maybe we know how the story ends 
F              C          G 
maybe it's not even about us 
C       Em         Am     Em 
we both retreat to opposing sands 
    F          G          C 
and love lives on without us 
 
C           Em 
one thing I know for sure is 
Am        G      F 
love will find a way 
Am        G      F 
love will find a way 
 
Chorus
 
end on: C
