Esus2 E Esus2 E Esus2 E Esus2 E
If he loved you, like I love you
C#m11
I would walk away in shame
Esus2 E Esus2 E
I'd move town, I'd change my name

Like he owns a bird that sings

F#sus4 F# C#sus4 C#
If I could break down these walls and shout my name at Heaven's gate
F#sus4 F# C#sus4 C#
I'd take these hands and I'd destroy the dark machineries of fate
F#sus4 F# Asus4 A
Cathedrals are broken, Heaven's no longer above
Asus4 A
And hellfire's a promise away, I'd still be saying:
Esus2 E Esus2 E C#m7 A
I'm still in love, I'm still in love, I'm still in love, I'm still in love
Esus2 E Esus2 E C#m7 C#m7
