E
Page one
It's just the prologue
Setting the stage for all that's to happen
A
Then on to the first chapter
C#m
Everyone's happy, foreshadowing an ending disaster
B
Then girl meets boy, it's awkward, confusing
Can't tell if it's love or it's hate
C#m A
When hands graze
Reaching for something forgettably dull and mundane
E
Now it's a love story of epic proportion
A
The likes of which never's been told
Two hearts beating as one
B
Run right into the Sun
Oh, what would I give to go back?
E
Act two
She's in the deep end
Struggling for air cuts over the weekend
A
Wide out, unusually quiet
C#m
Now the whole plot is unraveling in radio silence
B
As girl breaks down
Convinced of her story
Penned by the ghost of her pain
C#m A
A tall tale, a pure work of fiction
A page turning old to heartbreak
E
Now it's a love story of epic proportion
A
The likes of which never's been told
When a yarn perfectly spun
B
What's done can't be undone
C#m
Oh what would I give to go back to page one?
F#
And just pretend
None of it happened
C#m F#m7
Then we could just be friends
B
Spin myself of this ache
E
How could anyone dare to love again?
F#m7
I'm raising my walls
B
So I never fall
E
Into another love story of epic proportion
A
The likes of which never's been told
Two hearts beating as one
B
Run right into the Sun
Oh, what would I give to go back
E
Back to page one
