Capo 2
Em
Do you remember the taste of my lips that night
C
I stole a bit of my mother's perfume
Em C
Cause I remember when my father put his fist in the wall and separated the dining room
Em
I remember the fear in your eyes
C
The very first time we snuck into the city
Em
Late December with my heart in my chest and the clouds in my breath
C
Didn't know where I was running to
Am
But I won't look back
C
Cause we'll be looking for sunlight
G
Or the headlights
Em C
Till our wide eyes burn blind
C
We'll be listening to the same tunes
G
That we're going through
Em C
To the bottom of the line
C
And we know that we're headstrong
G
And our heart's gone
Em C
And the timing's never right
C G
But for now let's get away
Em C
On a Roman holiday
Em C
Do you remember the taste of my lips bla bla blablabla bla blablablablablabla
Em C
Cause I'll imagine the weight of your legs as you lie between my hips in the backseat
Em
I imagine the tears in your eyes
C
The very first night I'll sleep without you
Em
And when it happens I'll be miles away and a few months late
C
Didn't know where I was running to
Am
But I won't look back
C
Cause we'll be looking for sunlight
G
Or the headlights
Em C
Till our wide eyes burn blind
C
We'll be listening to the same tunes
G
That we're going through
Em C
To the bottom of the line
C
And we know that we're headstrong
G
And our heart's gone
Em C
And the timing's never right
C G
But for now let's get away
Em C
On a Roman holiday
