Verse: 

   F                              C 
 This is where our diligence has lead 
     Dm                 Bb                F 
 The waves roll in to claim our patient steps 
                                  C 
 Can we become more than just ourselves? 
      Dm                 Bb                   F 
 And leave the sand, our want, our will, our doubt 

 

           Dm    Bb       F 
 It's firefight, I won't run. 
                   Dm   Bb              F 
 They're spitting spite all through my blood 
     Dm                  Bb               F 
 For you and me, there's nowhere left to hide 
        Bb                   G            F 
 except you and me, there's no one else alive 


Verse: 

   F                           C 
 This is now the moment after next. 
 Dm                  Bb              F 
 Are these still the eyes of a temptress? 
                                 C 
 Why open the door if you won't go? 
 Dm                 Bb                F 
 Don't ask twice if you don't wanna know. 



           Dm    Bb       F 
 It's firefight, I won't run. 
                   Dm   Bb              F 
 They're spitting spite all through my blood 
     Dm                  Bb               F 
 For you and me, there's nowhere left to hide 
        Bb                   G            F 
 except you and me, there's no one else alive 


Bridge: 

              Dm 
 Is there an answer? 
            Bb                              F 
 If it's an honest one, honestly worth its question 
             C 
 There's no question 
                  Dm 
 The city as my witness 
             Bb                             F 
 I am who I wanna be, but you could be anything 
                   C 
 Just be anything here with me. 


Verse: 

 F                                  C 
 endless quotes and with the secondhand 
    Dm               Bb                      F 
 If you let go then that's where time will stand.

 For you and me, there's nowhere left to hide

 They're spitting spite all through my blood

 For you and me, there's nowhere left to hide 
        Bb                   G            F 
 except you and me, there's no one else alive
