Em 
Do you remember the taste of my lips that night 
                   C 
I stole a bit of my mother's perfume 
Em                                                                       C 
Cause I remember when my father put his fist in the wall and separated the dining room 
Em 
I remember the fear in your eyes 
                      C 
The very first time we snuck into the city 
Em                                                 
Late December with my heart in my chest and the clouds in my breath 
      C 
Didn't know where I was running to 
Am 
But I won't look back 

                          C 
Cause we'll be looking for sunlight 
      G 
Or the headlights 
       Em             C 
Till our wide eyes burn blind 
                         C 
We'll be listening to the same tunes 
          G 
That we're going through 
     Em             C 
To the bottom of the line 
                     C 
And we know that we're headstrong 
      G 
And our heart's gone 
       Em             C 
And the timing's never right 
C                     G 
But for now let's get away 
    Em         C 
On a Roman holiday 

Em                                                        C

Cause I'll imagine the weight of your legs as you lie between my hips in the backseat 
Em              
I imagine the tears in your eyes 
                         C 
The very first night I'll sleep without you 
Em   
And when it happens I'll be miles away and a few months late 
     C              
Didn't know where I was running to 
Am 
But I won't look back 

                          C
