A E F#m E
So we're back here again. Tiptoeing round the edge of the end.
D A E F#m
Wondering who'll be last to admit that we're finally over.
A E F#m E
Turned 21 the day that we met. Terrible shoes, implausible dress.
D A E F#m
It's funny how sad the funny things get as you grow older.
D A E
Better or worse but what else can we do?
D A E
When better or worse I am tethered to you.
D A E F#m
If it's not either of us tell me who are we fooling?
A E
I learnt the art of biting my tongue.
F#m E
I tired of trying to guess what was wrong.
D A E F#m
Both agreed on where we should go, but not how to get there.
A E
We tried and tried to loosen the knots.
F#m E
Thinking once we're untangled we'll be better off.
D A E F#m
But it's these failures and faults that hold us together.

D A E F#m
If it's not either of us tell me who are we fooling?
D A E
This beautiful tangle that's bruising us blue.
D A E
It's a beautiful knot that we just can't undo.
D A E
Together we're one but apart tell me who are we fooling?
Em D Dm A Em D Dm A
Real love is hard love. It's all we have.
Em D Dm A Am D E
It's a break neck. Train wreck. It's all we have.
A E
So we're back here again.
F#m E D A E
Turning away from the edge of the end. Arm in arm.
