Intro: D verse 1: A G Good morning Lyla D The flowers bloomed months ago D A G D And now the branches hang with autumn's fire A G I wake each morning D To feel this ground's gone frozen beneath me- A G D I dreamed away these months 'til you were gone D A And I found myself waking G D Curled up in my arms with a cigarette in hand A G Little riff D And the hopes that we held were in my pocket
A Will we ever be G D What this world was to you and me? A G D Will we ever be crying for these days? A G D Will we ever be what this heart held for you and me? A G D Will we ever be the same?
verse 2: A G# G And I heard you'd been hanging around D Those city boys learned to dance so well A It breaks my heart, it gives me hell G D I'll go to the meadow where we used to lay C# A But I still wade into that stream G D The frozen damn water, it tears at me A G D But it makes me feel like I'm fighting to breathe and it's only then I'm scared of dying A G D It's only when I see you turn to go that I know I need your love to stay
A Will we ever be G D What this world was to you and me? A G D Will we ever be crying for these days? A G D Will we ever be what this heart held for you and me? A G D Will we ever be the same?
Solo Outro verse 3: A G# G D But it makes me feel like I'm fighting to breathe and it's only then I'm scared of dying A G D It's only when I see you turn to go that I know I need your love to stay
