                C
When love was found
           G
I kept my hope just like I'd hoped to
                  Am               G     F
Then sang to the sea for feelings deep blue.

        C
Coming down
             G
We've had problems that we've grown through
               Am                G     F
But I bet you dream of what you could do.

    F        G        Am
At seventeen I was alright
          F               G      Am
Was like nothing I could feel inside
     F           G           Am
And wishing you were here tonight
                F G Am
Is like holding on.

             F               G         Am
But I still get to see your face, right?
                 F                G         Am
And that's like nothing they can take, right?
                      F              G
So there won't be no feeling in the firelight
Am
Hoping this will be right
 F                 G        Am
Time to show your worth child.

                     F
I remember when her heart broke over stubborn shit
        G
That's no way to be living kid
    Am
The angel of death is ruthless.
                         F
And I'm always thinking summertime with the bikes out
 G
pushing our luck getting wiped out
Am
Days with nothing but laughing loud.
                              F
Underneath my coat won't you tap my shoulder, hold my hand
 G
Nights with nothing but dark in there
Am
You can be my armour then.
F
Islands smiles and cardigans
     G
The nights that we've been drinking in
       Am
We're here to help you kill all of this hurt that you've been harbouring.
    F
Confessions should be better planned
  G
Alone, that night, I'm surely damned
Am
Run away, I'll understand.

Chorus:
                         F
What's important is this evening I will not forget
 G
Purple, blue, orange, red
       Am
These colours of feeling, give me love, I'll put my heart in it.
    F
I think about it all the time
     G
The lights went out, you were fine
    Am
You kinda struggle not to shine.
                       F
I still love you though,
                       G
I still love you though,
                 Am
I still love you always.

                        F
So hold me when I'm home,
                       G
keep the evenings long
                     Am
Crack and break and part ways.

                       F
I still love you though,
                       G
I still love you though,
                 Am
I still love you always.

So hold me when I'm home,
                     G
keep the evenings long
                     Am
Crack and break and part ways.

And I wonder if I can let it down.
