Lyrics

[Verse 1]
                   C
When love was found
              G
I kept my hope just like I'd hoped to
                    Am             G
Then sang to the sea  for feelings deep blue
F               C
 And coming down
              G
And we've had problems that we've grown through
              Am                G
But I bet you dream of what you could do

[Verse 2]
F   Fsus2      Gsus2      Am
 At seventeen, I    was alright
         Fsus2           Gsus2  Am
Was like nothing I could feel inside
    Fsus2            Gsus2  Am                      Fsus2
And wishing you were here tonight is like holding on
Gsus2
Am            Fsus2            Gsus2       Am
  But I still get  to see your face, right?
                Fsus2            Gsus2       Am
And that's like nothing they can take, right?
                     Fsus2          Gsus2
So there won't be no feeling in the firelight
Am
Hoping this'll be right
Fsus2             Gsus2       Am
Time to show your worth, child

[Verse 3]
                    Fsus2
I remember when her heart broke over stubborn shit
       Gsus2
That's no   way to be living, kid
    Am
The angel of death is ruthless
                        Fsus2
And I'm always thinking summertime with the bikes out
Gsus2
Pushing our luck, getting wiped out
Am
Days with nothing but laughing loud
                              Fsus2
Underneath my coat, won't you tap  my shoulder,
hold my hand?
Gsus2
Nights with nothing but dark in there
Am
You could be my armour then

[Verse 4]
Fsus2
Island smiles and cardigans
    Gsus2
The nights that we've been drinking in
      Am
We're here to help you kill all of this hurt that you've
been harboring
   Fsus2
Confessions should be better planned
 Gsus2
Alone, that night, I'm surely damned
Am
Run away, I'll understand
                         Fsus2
What's important is this evening I will not forget
Gsus2
Purple, blue, orange, red
      Am
These colors of feeling, give me love,
I'll put my heart in it
      Fsus2
And I think about it all the time
Gsus2
Lights went out, you were fine
       Am
You kinda struggle not to shine
I still love you, though

[Bridge]
Fsus2                        Gsus2
     I still love you, though
                   Am
I still love you always
So hold me when I'm home,
Fsus2                      Gsus2
     keep the evenings long
                        Am
Crack and break and part  ways
I still love you, though
Fsus2                        Gsus2
     I still love you, though
                   Am
I still love you always
So hold me when I'm home,
Fsus2
     keep the evenings long
Gsus2                              Am
Let's not crack and break and part ways
And I wonder if I could let her down

[Interlude]
Fsus2 Gsus2 Am Fsus2 Gsus2 Am
Fsus2 Gsus2 Am Fsus2 Gsus2
Am
It's for real, it's for real
Fsus2 Gsus2 Am
              It's for real,
             Fsus2 Gsus2
it's for real
