Comets

Intro: Am - C - G - F (2x) 


Verse: 


Am                G 
Am I a terrible lie, just a southern mess?  

C                    G 
Am I the signature you’ll forge on the birthday cards  

Am                   C 
that I’ll forget to send  

       Am                C 
can we please just not pretend  

             Am                    C 
that all my thoughtlessness had purpose  

         G                      F     Am - F - C 
do you think that it was worth it? 


Pre Chorus: 
                         
                       Am              F      G (let it ring)    
I’m not they same as I was when we were younger 
 


C                     G 
We swam out past the shallow breakers  

   Am                   G 
I never thought that the tide would take us 

   Am            C        G         F 
we live just to love and learn to give it up 

Am     C     G        F 
we are in the arms of lovers 

C                G 
we are hopeless we’re all comets  

   Am                G 
with love for someone carried on us 

Am               C         G           F      
we live just to learn but hope never gives us up 

Am     C     G        F 
we are in the arms of lovers 

Am            C         F         Am       C         G 
Soldiers with heavy hearts just reach out into the dark 


verse 2: 


Am                                G 
You found me walking through our town in the dead of night  

C 
I was looking for you 

G                                Am            C 
I always thought that if you loved me in the end  

          Am               C            Am            C           G                 F       Am - F - C 
I could fall but I would mend but I’m tired of this secret cos I know that I can’t keep it 


Pre Chorus: 
                         
                        Am              F      G (let it ring)    
I’m not they same as I was when we were younger
