                Gm
Hold me like nobody else does
              A#
Do I get the best of your love?
               Dm
Even when our bodies are drunk
                  C
Is it me you're stumbling from?

Forget the words that you said
With your fingers spell out my name
Take away the sky in our breath
Remember love is a game, love is a game

       Gm           A#
Don't break, don't fade
            Dm                         C
While we're not real, we're never too late
      Gm             A#
Make time, it won’t hurt
           Dm                      C
Said I’ll go now, but you said it first

F                           C                     Gm A#
I know there's nothing that I can do to make you stay
    F                          C
But one thing I know that will always remain
               Gm    A#
And that's the aftertaste
          Gm A#
The aftertaste
          F C
The aftertaste
          Gm A#
The aftertaste
          F C
The aftertaste

In the midst I'm seeing your face
And I can't believe this is fake
Blow the blossom into your room
As you throw me in disarray

There's a button that I need to press
There's a face that I need to kiss
Come on, give me your heart and your head
Make you conscious never resist, never resist

Don't break, don't fade
While we're not real, we're never too late
Make time, it won’t hurt
Said I’ll go now, but you said it first

Chorus:
I know there's nothing that I can do to make you stay
But one thing I know that will always remain
And that's the aftertaste
The aftertaste
The aftertaste
The aftertaste
The aftertaste
I know there's nothing that I can do to make you stay
But one thing I know that will always remain
And that's the aftertaste
The aftertaste
The aftertaste
The aftertaste
The aftertaste
The aftertaste
The aftertaste
The aftertaste
The aftertaste
