Intro: D
verse 1:
A G
Good morning Lyla
D
The flowers bloomed months ago
D A G D
And now the branches hang with autumn's fire
A G
I wake each morning
D
To feel this ground's gone frozen beneath me-
A G D
I dreamed away these months 'til you were gone
D A
And I found myself waking
G D
Curled up in my arms with a cigarette in hand
A G Little riff D
And the hopes that we held were in my pocket
[Refrão]
A
Will we ever be
G D
What this world was to you and me?
A G D
Will we ever be crying for these days?
A G D
Will we ever be what this heart held for you and me?
A G D
Will we ever be the same?
verse 2:
A G# G
And I heard you'd been hanging around
D
Those city boys learned to dance so well
A
It breaks my heart, it gives me hell
G D
I'll go to the meadow where we used to lay
C# A
But I still wade into that stream
G D
The frozen damn water, it tears at me
A G
D
But it makes me feel like I'm fighting to breathe and it's only then I'm scared of dying
A G
D
It's only when I see you turn to go that I know I need your love to stay
[Refrão]

Will we ever be

Will we ever be the same?
