Him: 
Am              F                C 
   You've been running with the ghost again 
              Am         F                        C 
Singing "It's all gonna fall like we're living a lie." 


Her:  
Am             F                C 
  You've been tearing up these walls again 
 Am                  F                  C 
Ain't no place left here for a girl to hide 


Him: 
Am          F                C 
   You know I tell you just like it is 
       Am                   F               C 
Gonna walk that far in the scars of another guy 


Her: 
Am             F             C 
  And I'm not gonna give up all of this 
 Am                 F              C 
Ain't no room left here for me to fly 



Am            F         C   G 
  And if our love is a hurricane 
Am         F                C    G 
  Broken phones and broken doors 
Am      F               C        G 
  Baby you know I can stand the rain 
        Am      F        C    G 
Let it lift us off the floor 


Verso: 
Him: 
Am            F                 C 
You use your words just like a criminal 
Am            F             C 
Kinda like a bullet from a gun 


Her: 
Am           F               C 
  Well that shadow found me years ago 
            Am 
I've been bought 
           F                   C 
I've been shot with a lawless love 



Am            F         C   G 
  And if our love is a hurricane 
Am         F                C    G 
  Broken phones and broken doors 
Am      F               C        G 
  Baby you know I can stand the rain 
        Am      F        C    G 
Let it lift us off the floor
