Do you re mem ber how this (F#m)first be gan?
Teeth were white and our skin was young.
Eyes as bright as a (F#m)Spa nish sun,
we had noth ing we could hide.
Now my dear we are two gold en leaves
cling ing desp ’rate ly to win ter trees.
Held up here like a pair of thieves
while the si rens blare out side.
What’s left to say when ev ’ry word’s been spo ken?
What’s left to see when our eyes won’t o pen?
What’s left to do when we’ve lost all hope and
what’s left to break when our hearts are bro ken?
But some (F#m)times...
Do you re mem ber how this start ed out?
So full of hope but now we’re filled (E)with doubt.
A dirt y joke we used to laugh a bout
but it’s not fun ny an y more.
I fear I’ll choke un less I spit it (F#m)out,
still smell of smoke al though the (E)fire’s gone out.
I can’t live with you but I’d (F#m)die with out.
