                Em 
 Hold me like nobody else does 
              G 
 Do I get the best of your love? 
               Bm 
 Even when our bodies are drunk 
                 A 
 Is it me you're stumbling from? 

            Em 
 Forget the words that you said 
                   G 
 With your fingers spell out my name 
               Bm 
 Take away the sky in our breath 
          A 
 Remember love is a game, love is a game 

       Em           G 
 Don't break, don't fade 
             Bm                        A 
 While we're not real, we're never too late 
      Em             G 
 Make time, it won’t hurt 
           Bm                      A 
 Said I’ll go now, but you said it first 

 D                           A                    Em G 
 I know there's nothing that I can do to make you stay 
     D                          A 
 But one thing I know that will always remain 
                Em    G 
 And that's the aftertaste 


           Em G 
 The aftertaste

                  Em 
 In the midst I'm seeing your face 
               G 
 And I can't believe this is fake 
                  Bm 
 Blow the blossom into your room 
                   A 
 As you throw me in disarray 

                  Em 
 There's a button that I need to press 
                    G 
 There's a face that I need to kiss 
                       Bm 
 Come on, give me your heart and your head 
                    A 
 Make you conscious never resist, never resist 

       Em           G 
 Don't break, don't fade 
             Bm                        A 
 While we're not real, we're never too late 
      Em             G 
 Make time, it won’t hurt 
           Bm                      A 
 Said I’ll go now, but you said it first 

 D                           A                    Em G

     D                          A
