Lyrics

[Intro]
| Em C | G D |

[Chorus]
Em     C                G             D
I will always be the one to break the news,
          Em
if it's alright
  Cmaj7                 G       D
I never wanna bring you down, no
Em     C                G             D
I will always be the one to speak the truth,
            Em
if it don't hurt
  Cmaj7               G        D
I never wanna see you frown, no

[Verse 1]
      G6
We're laid in
                       Em
I'm so happy that it's raining out again
                          Am
I'm so made up that we're naked in our bed
     C/G           D11/C
Like we were twentyfour back when
         G6
Who will hammer out?
                           Em
The deeper question needin'  sorting out
                             Am
If there's an answer we will find it with our doubt
C/G               D11/C
   We're a little more than friends

[Pre-Chorus]
Am7       G/B            Em7         Am7
   We fell   through time   and space
        G/B    Em7          Am7
And cast   upon   this place
      G/B         Em7          Dsus4
And so   far we've   been saved

[Chorus]
Em     C                G             D
I will always be the one to break the news,
          Em
if it's alright
  Cmaj7                 G       D
I never wanna bring you down, no
Em     C                G             D
I will always be the one to speak the truth,
            Em
if it don't hurt
  Cmaj7               G        D
I never wanna see you frown, no
Em       Cmaj7                 G       D
  I will never wanna bring you down, no
Em  Cmaj7                 G   D
  I never wanna bring you down

[Verse 2]
     G6
It's raining out
                          Em
I'm so made up, we've been  makin' out
                       Am
Watching movies in our dressing gowns
     C/G           D11/C
Like we were twentyfour or there about
     G6
What matters most?
                        Em
Life's amazing but it's been a bumpy road
                               Am
No more than lately things have  been a little wild
        C/G
Am I an adult or a child?
     D11/C
Don't     feel any different now

[Pre-Chorus]
Am7        G/B         Em7     Am7
   We watch   the world   go by
      G/B         Em7         Dsus4
And so   far we've   been fine

[Chorus]
Em     C                G             D
I will always be the one to break the news,
          Em
if it's alright
  Cmaj7                 G       D
I never wanna bring you down, no
Em     C                G             D
I will always be the one to speak the truth,
            Em
if it don't hurt
  Cmaj7               G        D
I never wanna see you frown, no
Em       Cmaj7                 G   D
  I will never wanna bring you down
