Intro G   C   G   C 

    G                         C          
The strands in your eyes that color them wonderful 
G                      D   C 
Stop me and steal my breath 
    G                       C 
And emeralds from mountains thrust toward the sky 
G                       D   C 
Never revealing their depth 

    G            C 
And tell me that we belong together 
G                        D             C 
And dress it up with the trappings of love 
     G                   C 
I'll be captivated, I'll hang from your lips 
G                         D                        C     D   C 
Instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above 

    G       C 
And I'll be your cryin' shoulder 
G              D  C 
I'll be love's suicide 
     G      C 
And I'll be better when I'm older 
G           D        C            G  C  G  D  C 
I'll be the greatest fan of your life 

     G         C 
And rain falls angry on the tin roof 
   G                   D  C 
As we lie awake in my bed 
     G                   C 
And you're my survival, you're my livin' proof 
    G                      D  C 
My love is alive and not dead 


     G           C 
And tell me that we belong together 
G                        D            C 
And dress it up with the trappings of love 
     G                   C 
I'll be captivated, I'll hang from your lips 
G                         D                          C     D     C 
Instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above 

     G       C 
And I'll be your cryin' shoulder 
G               D  C 
I'll be love's suicide 
     G       C 
And I'll be better when I'm older 
G            D        C           G  C  G   
I'll be the greatest fan of your life 
     D        C           G  C  G  D  C  G 
The greatest fan of your life
