Am F C
Stood at the cold face, stood with our backs to the sun
Am F C
I can't remember being nothing but fearless and young
Am F C
We've become echoes, but echoes that fade away
Am F C
We fall into the dark as we dive under the wave (I heard you say)
F
Devil's on your shoulder
Dm
Strangers in your head
G
As if you don't remember
Am
As if you can't forget
F
It's only been a moment
Dm
It's only been a lifetime
G
But tonight you're a stranger
Am
Some silhouette
Am F C
Let's go out in flames so everyone knows who we are
Am F C
Cuz these city walls never knew that we'd make it this far
Am F C
We've become echoes, but echoes are fading away
Am F C
So let's dance like two shadows burning out the glory day
F
Devil's on your shoulder
Dm
Strangers in your head
G
As if you don't remember
Am
As if you can't forget
F
It's only been a moment
Dm
It's only been a lifetime
G
But tonight you're a stranger
Am
Some silhouette
F C
And just hold me

And just hold me
F C
And just hold me
Dm Am
And just hold me

Devil's on your shoulder

Strangers in your head

As if you don't remember
