verse 1: 
C                  F     Am  G 
It's a kind of lust thing,   really, 
  C                  F       Am       G 
A little bit of brief wandering. 
       C                     F      Am         G 
And it started out two hearts, cold, kids with nothing 
   C     F    Am    G 
to lose. 

------------------------------------------------------- 

Pre-Chorus 1: 
    C           F            Am              G 
And I don't suppose that you think that it's something, 
C           F           Am          G 
I don't suppose that it bothers you still. 

------------------------------------------------------- 


             C    F     Am     G 
But it's the hold tight,  hold steady, 
C    F      Am           G 
Hold tight, see where it goes. 
C                  F                  Am                G 
Just a little bit, just a little bit, just a little bit daunting, 
C                     F                        Am     G               
This you can't erase, this will not be scared, in the eye  
        C     F    Am    G   C   F   Am   G 
of the storm. 

------------------------------------------------------- 

verse 2: 
       C   F    Am   G 
In the moonlight, we walked 
       C       F     Am    G 
in the park at night. 
          C    F Am      G 
We played go-olf,  under statues   
   C           F                Am          G 
of Lennon, our hearts bound for breaking at dawn. 

------------------------------------------------------- 

Pre-Chorus 2: 
    C          F            Am            G 
And I don't suppose that it means much of anything, 
C          F             Am          G 
I don't suppose that you think of it too. 

------------------------------------------------------- 

             C    F    Am     G 
But it's the hold tight, hold steady, 
C    F            Am          G 
hold tight, we're back in the game. 
C                  F                  Am                G 
Just a little bit, just a little bit, just a little bit over, 
C                  F                  Am                G 
just a little bit, just a little bit, just a little bit over  
C     F     Am    G     C     F    Am    G 
again.
