Capo 3
Am C
I can't remember and I can't concentrate
G D
But I can take a note to burn the ink
D
A hit between the eyes
Am C
And our souls are meant to be sold
G D
And our friends are only to hope
D
That I can't do what I'm told
Em C
So we'll ride the coattails to the finish line
G D
I don't hear those church bells chime anymore
D Am
Cause I'm in love with this
Em C
So we'll ride the coattails to the finish line
G D
I don't hear those church bells chime anymore
D Am
Cause I'm in love with this
Am C
For a moment I feel I'm losing it
G D
Throw my temper down and bury it
D
The earth will reach the sky
Am C
If you talk me out of my needs
G D
And stitch me up at the seams
D
And I could lever my dreams
Em C
So we'll ride the coattails to the finish line
G D
I don't hear those church bells chime anymore
D Am
Cause I'm in love with this
Em C
So we'll ride the coattails to the finish line
G D
I don't hear those church bells chime anymore
D Am
Cause I'm in love with this
Am C G D
In love, in love, in love
Am C G D
In love, in love, in love
Am C
Oh oh oh oh
G D
Oh oh oh oh
Am C
Oh oh oh oh
G D
Oh oh oh oh
Em C
So we'll ride the coattails to the finish line
G D
I don't hear those church bells chime anymore

Cause I'm in love with this
Em C
So we'll ride the coattails to the finish line
G D
I don't hear those church bells chime anymore
D Am
Cause I'm in love with this
Am C G D
In love, in love, in love
