           G#m
I remember dancing in the pouring rain
            E
Calling you up just to say your name
             B
We felt like lovers
             F#
We felt like lovers
                   G#m
Reaching for your hand when you pulled away
                E
Every time i’d leave you beg me to stay
              B
We felt like lovers
                   F#
Living life under covers

                  G#m
We sailed through love and war we’d fight
                    E
for everything and more to save the night
                      B
The night was all we saw
                               F#
And thats what the darkness is for

Chorus:
            C#m
Look at the time and the time that it's taken
             E
Is this the love like the love we were making
              B
When we were lovers
              F#
When we were lovers

Two hearts beating in stereo
Never needed maps to tell us where to go
We followed the stars, but they took us too far
We'd sail through love and war
We'd fight for everything and more
To save the night, the night was all we saw
That's what the darkness is for

Chorus

          C#m
Giving it all as everything we were giving
                E
Living for each other was while we were living
              B
When we were lovers
                   F#
Living Life under covers

E        B   C#m            G#m
Here we are, slowly falling apart
E              B                  F#
Every broken promise is a broken heart

Chorus

Giving it all was everything we were giving
Living for each other was why we were living
When we were lovers, when we were lovers
Living life under covers
It felt like love, love, felt like love, love
Oooh oooh, yes
Oooh oooh, yeah
