Intro -x2-: Gm Gm7 Gm Gm

Gm       Gm7             Gm              Gm7
Drifting apart, getting hard to hold you

Days getting dark and the nights are growing cold
            Eb               F
Are we burning out?

Gm       Gm7             Gm              G7 -repeat-
Swept out of sight, rolling up on an ocean

Let's cut all the ropes and get lost in the moment
         Eb                   F                               
If our hearts are alive, maybe then we might

Gm       Gm7             F
Send us back to the sun


      Eb       Bb
Now I know, I know
           Cm                Gm                F
That we're losing light, our love is dying
Eb               Bb
Out cold on the floor
       Cm               Gm                     F
Like a fallen star that shines no more
Eb            Bb  Cm                      G7       F
Take, take-a-me back to where we was before
                Eb   Bb        Cm  Gm    
When we were on fire,        fire


Gm              Gm7             Gm      Gm7 -repeat-
Head down, heading underground feeling wasted
Cold to the bone, so alone I can taste it
        Eb            F
Let's light it up
Gm              Gm7             Gm      Gm7 -repeat-
Streets are alive now, and everything's bracing
You're on my mind, running in my veins fueling the flame
        Eb            F        Gm     Gm7 Gm
Let's start it again


      Eb       Bb
Now I know, I know
           Cm                Gm                F
That we're losing light, our love is dying
Eb               Bb
Out cold on the floor
       Cm               Gm                       F
Like a fallen star that shines no more
Eb            Bb  Cm                   Gm        
Take, take-a-me back to where we was before
     F          Eb   Bb           Cm  Gm
When we were on fire,           fire
                Eb   Bb           Cm  Gm
When we were on fire,           fire


Gm       Gm7             Gm              G7 -repeat-
Oh, oh, whoa, oh, whoa-oh-oh, now don't tell me no
That we're burning down
Oh, oh, whoa, oh, whoa-oh-oh, now don't tell me no
That we're burning now


Eb         Bb          Cm7                  Gm             F
I know, I know we're losing light and our love is dying
Eb        Bb                 
Take me, take-a-me home
Cm                   Gm          F          Eb   Bb     Cm  Gm
Back to where we was before when we were on fire,     fire
      Eb       Bb
Now I know, I know
           Cm                Gm               F
That we're losing light, our love is dying
Eb               Bb
Out cold on the floor
       Cm               Gm                    F
Like a fallen star that shines no more
Eb            Bb  Cm                     Gm     F           
Take, take-a-me back to where we was before
                Eb  Bb            Cm  Gm  
When we were on fire,           fire

pidge

i was singing and playing this song in my bedroom with my eyes closed and when it was over i opened my eyes and my family was in my room looking at me like they had to run away from home-

is that a problem?

This song is really easy to be in a level 5 rating… I’m proud of myself for play this only 2 months in!

otakulele

Personally, I prefer -5 but this is a great arrangement! Spotify recommended this song to me recently as I love the doo-wop and indie-pop genres and I loved it instantly!! Dark humor is best humor haha 🙂
