C 
You called it no man's land 
Em                            F 
With machine guns blasting to hell 
                                   C            G 
I let my guard down and carried my heart so far away 
         C                                             Em        
And in a letter sent, that I don't want to be here any more than them 
                           Am  
I'm sipping on coffee gone stale again 
                             F                G 
Is this how it tastes to mix drinks with sour grapes? 
  
   Am                  C                   F 
So kiss me before it's over, if only for a minute 
   Am                  C                   F 
So kiss me before it's over, if only for a minute 
                     G  
We can argue who was first to bleed 
                         C  
Or let your walls do the talking 

Interlude: Em  C  Em  C Em  Em  C 

G 
(We're falling faster now) 

Em  C  Em  C Em  Em  C   

G                        Am    C 
But in the middle of the night 
Em                      Am     C     
I lay there frozen in a memory 
Em                Am   C 
Of us down by the river 
Em              F             G 
With your hands clenched into mine 
               Am     C 
Well I still remember 
Em                   Am   C 
All the promises you swore 
Em                 Am   C 
That we'd never outlive 
Em                   F               G 
Please tell me you remember, forever friends 

   Am                  C                   F 
So kiss me before it's over, if only for a minute 
   Am                  C                   F 
So kiss me before it's over, if only for a minute 
                     G 
We can argue who was first to bleed 
                         C 
Or let your walls do the talking 

Interlude: C  C  Am  F 

              C                     Em 
'Cause in the red light I'm singing all alone 
             C                        F 
I watched my favorite dream fall from grace to stone 
              C                     Em 
Hiding in the basement, we kept our voices low 
                     Am                          G 
You gave me that old troubled look that said, "I don't know" 

C                       Em 
Hold onto twilight, the sun brings empire 
Am                     F          G 
We are the last fight, we are the fire 


And just like your mother said 
C                        Em 
(Hold onto twilight, the sun brings empire) 

You're too pretty and young for this 

You'll make it better on the outside 
Am                      F          G 
(We are the last fight, we are the fire) 

Just keep your head and keep your fire.
