Intro: D    G    D     G 

A 
Well we haven't got all night 
Em 
Come on and raise a toast 
G                                     D 
We're only one time aiming for the sun 
A 
Thought weâd be grinding all our gears 
Em 
Til we're giving up the ghost 
G                                          D 
And grieving from the ties that we'd undone 

G                                              D 
I'm still staring at the sky, like at the start 
G                    D             A 
With all these heavy anchors on my heart 

G                                  D 
But they don?'t suit me, babe, like before 
G                                D 
They don't suit me like they did before 
G                              D 
Always waving flags and waging wars 
G                         D 
But it don't suit me like before 
G                     D 
It don't suit me like before 

A 
Well folks like me and you 
Em 
We don't know how to call a truce 
G                                              D 
And when we canât lose the fight, we just lose touch 
A 
So we sit comparing scars 
Em 
Strumming on the stars 
G                          D 
And leaning on the oldest, closest crutch 

G                    D 
Don't let me turn to dust to turn a phrase 
D                                            A 
Could you help me wash these years off of my face? 
G                                  D 
But they don?'t suit me, babe, like before 
G                                D 
They don't suit me like they did before 
G                              D 
Always waving flags and waging wars 
G                         D 
But it don't suit me like before 
G                     D 
It don't suit me like before 

G                                    D 
I used to have a prisoner's point of view 
G                         D          A 
Now I only care for being seen by you 
G                                  D 
But they donâ?'t suit me, babe, like before 
G                                D 
They don't suit me like they did before 
G                              D 
Always waving flags and waging wars 
G                         D 
But it don't suit me like before 
G                     D 
It don't suit me like before 
G                         D 
But it don't suit me like before 
G                     D 
It don't suit me like before
