Capo 3
Am G
I remember it
Am G
In Dublin in a rainstorm
Am G
We're sitting in the long grass in summer
Am G
Keeping warm
Am G
I remember it
Am G
Every restless night
Am G Am G
We were so young then we thought that everything we could possibly do was right
Am G Am G
Then we move stolen from our very eyes
Am G
And I wondered where you went to, And tell me
Am G
When did the light die?
Am G
You will rise
Am G
You'll return
Am G
The Phoenix from the flame
Am G Am G
And we'll learn and we'll rise
Am G Am
You'll return
C
Being what you are
Am
There is no other Troy
G E
For you to burn
Am G
And I never meant to hurt you
Am G
I swear I didn't mean those things I said
Am G
I never meant to do that to you
Am G
Next time I'll keep my hands to myself instead
Am G
Oh, and I should love you
Am G
What do you want to do?
Am G Am G Am G Am G
Does she need you like I do? Ooh ohh ohh ohh ohh ohh ohh ohh
Am G
Do you love her?
Am G
Is she good for you?
Am G Am G
Does she hold you like I do?
Am G
Do you want me?
Am G
Should I leave?
Am G
I know you're always telling me that you love me
Am G
But just sometimes I wonder if I should believe
Am G
Oh, I love you
Am G
God, I love you
Am G
I'd kill a dragon for you
Am G
And die
Am G Am G
But I will rise and I will return
Am G
The Phoenix from the flame
Am G
I have learned
Am G
I will rise
Am G Am G
And you'll see me return
C
Being what I am
Am
There is no other Troy
G E
For me to burn
Am G
Well, you should have left the light on
Am G
You should have left the light on
Am
Then I wouldn't have tried
G Am G
You'd never have known
Am G
And I wouldn't have pulled you tighter
Am G
No, I wouldn't have pulled you close
Am
I wouldn't have screamed
G Am
Now I can't let you go
G
If the door wasn't closed
Am G
No, I wouldn't have pulled you to me
Am G
And I wouldn't have kissed your face
Am G
You wouldn't have begged me to hold you
Am G
If we hadn't been there in the first place
Am G Am G
But I know you wanted me to be there ohh ohh
Am G Am
Every look that you threw told me so
G Am G
But you should have left the light on
G Am
You should have left the light on
Am G
Am G
Am G
Am G
And the flame burned away
Am G
But you're still spitting fire
Am G
Make no difference what you say
Am G
You're still a liar
Am G
You're still a liar
Am G
You're still a liar
