Capo 1st Fret
Verse 1
GEm
we used to act like we were ten years old
GEm
sittin? on rooftops in the morning cold
GD
and we pointed at the city,
EmC
though we'd never be so bold
AD
and all i needed was a hand to hold.
GEm
it's a somewhat addictive state of mind
GEm
to always be hoping for another glimpse inside
GDEmC
and even though i know you're telling everybody else
AD
i can still think that i heard it first.
Chorus
GBEmC
Because I need a friend and i can pretend
GBEmC
that you might need one too.
GBEmC
Because I've done too much traveling alone
GBEmC
and I'm too goddamn far from home.
GDEmC
I think I'm mostly flesh. I think you're mostly bone.
GCEmDG
I am made of fire; you're made of stone.
Verse 2
GEm
i thought you might be my someone in the sand.
G
i thought i might be something you needed
Em
like a good friend.
GD
but you can keep your distance,
EmC
i guess i'll understand.
AD
no one really wants a fire on their hands.
Bridge
C
So let's climb the flagpole!
CG
See how high we get before we fall.
C
Let's meet in the belltower.
CG
If we can ever get up there at all.
EmC/G
And we can watch the gears turn.
EmC/G
Because a stone will crack before it burns.
AD
Still a fire never learns.
