[Intro]
C A7 Dm G7

[Verse]
C Asus2
Seven months older
Dm G
Air’s getting cold, our bed’s startin’ to creak
C Asus2
God knows where you are
Am Dm G
I’m here waiting for love through a screen

C
You show me the outfit you chose
Asus2 Am
For the dinner and tonight’s show
Dm Dm6 G
Must be nice to be your clothes

C
Second to none even at your worst
Asus2 Am
Sometimes I wish you’d put me first
Dm Dm6 G
Nowadays you’re such a blur

[Pre-Chorus]
F G Am G
We keep dancing around the innocent truth that we’re just…

[Chorus]
G7 C A7
Out of time (ooh)
Dm G C A7
Must I die before you feel alive? (ooh)
Dm G
A curse in a graceful disguise

Dm Fmaj7 F
I love you too much to stay in love

[Verse]
C Asus2 Dm
How are you darling? How are you, really?
G
How was Taiwan? (you never say)
C Asus2 Dm
Thanks for the flowers, but you’ve been here hours
G
Yet your coat’s still very much on

[Pre-Chorus]
F G Am G
Tiptoein’ around the bitter truth but we both know…

[Chorus]
G7 C A7
It’s just time (ooh)
Dm G C A7
Must I die before you feel alive? (ooh)
Dm G
A curse in a graceful disguise

[Outro]
Dm G Am
Great was our love, it was one for the books
Dm G C
We gave it the best that we could
Dm G E7 Am Dm G
But I won’t recite all my lines just to watch you and I…lie

Dm Fmaj7 F
I’m so proud I got to love you once

C A7 Dm G7
