F Everybody's making plans for tomorrow The sun could turn to sand but I just C Ought to take you back in time Gm Am I'll draw the line Dm And I would write a different story Gm Am a new final act Dm F I don't need the drama but I would never write C you out Everyone's a thread, we're woven together Read it in the tears and fraying edges Read the book of you The book of me We're fading into memory But something is left A gesture, a phrase, or a photograph The warp and weft Chorus: F Gm We're always walking in the rain A And you're just trouble so I claim Pretend the world can see A# That I'm the one for you C7 And you're the one for me Valentine, if you could change with the weather Faith would just evaporate Untethered in a fresh disguise I'll catch your eye And see behind the mask And find you never went far But that's not the last time I've thought about the way we are Chorus - x3 You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA  A#  Am  C  C7  Dm  F  Gm  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
