Bb
She took me on a rollercoaster
F C
I have never gone down

We bought an old farm house
F C
And paid to have it all torn down

We sat under an oak tree
F C
And watched as every leaf hit the ground
Bb
The sky became a painting
F C
We watched as the planes crashed down
Am F
I'm waiting for the night to save us
C
I'm waiting for the night to take us
Am F
I'm waiting for the night to wake us

I'm waiting for the night to break us

Bb
We stood atop the jukebox
F C
And sang until the cavalry came
Bb
Our thoughts were bleeding colors

The rifles cocked and took their aim

And we took off all our clothes
F C
And marched in a perfect line
Bb
We sat and talked for hours
F C
Laughed and drank the cheapest wine
Am F
I'm waiting for the night to save us
