elijah woods - fingers crossed

Capo: 3rd fret

[Verse 1]
D
I think it was the fourth of that July
Bm
I remember looking in each other’s eyes
Em
Watching as the spark was fading
G
But neither one could say it
D
Ironically we laughed until we cried
Bm
The sun came up and then it got so quiet
Em
I knew the end was getting closer
G
I thought we would grow old, yeah

[Chorus]
D
But you
Bm
Will always have my heart, it’s nothing new
Em
Whenever I’m alone I try to look through our old photographs

Remember when we used to laugh
G
But I don’t recognize us anymore
D
My momma told me
Bm
If you love someone you’ve got to set them free

But I guess that you’re not coming back
Em
I thought that we could beat the odds

And try to fix all of our flaws
G
But when you said you loved me

Oh you must have had your fingers crossed

[Verse 2]
D
The time goes by the scars no longer show
Bm
But underneath it all there’s still this hole
Em
Filled up with my second guesses
G
But I guess I’ve learned a lesson
D
That people in your life will come and go
Bm
But from the ashes something beautiful will grow
Em
‘Cause I’m happier than ever lately
G
I’m thankful for all you gave me

[Chorus]
D
Oh you
Bm
Will always have my heart, it’s nothing new
Em
Whenever I’m alone I try to look through our old photographs

Remember when we used to laugh
G
But I don’t recognize us anymore
D
My momma told me
Bm
If you love someone you’ve got to set them free

But I guess that you’re not coming back
Em
I thought that we could beat the odds

And try to fix all of our flaws
G
But when you said you loved me
D
Oh you must have had your fingers crossed

[Outro]
Bm
Ah ou, ah ou, ah ou
Em
Must have had your

Ah ou, ou ah
G
When you said you loved me
N.C.
Must have had your fingers crossed
