       F    G    Am
Don't hold your breath
                  C              G
I don’t think we got much time left
     F    G   Am
We tried our best
              C             G
Maybe now we lay this to rest
     Dm  Em  F
The hope we had
    Am                             G
Is falling through our hands like sand
                     Dm  Em F
Do you ever think we had a chance?
       Am                      G
Now I see it when I'm looking back

Chorus:
                    Am
We were hopeless romantics
              F
How did this happen?
           C                             G
Baby, our love was beautiful, now it's tragic
                    Am
We were hopeless romantics
              F
But I can’t imagine
            C                G
Falling in love with anybody else
Anybody else

One last time
I wanna feel your skin touching mine
When we said goodbye
I don't wanna see you cry
Or put up a fight
All I ask
Is you remember all the times we had
Hope the memories they make you laugh
And you see it when you're looking back

Chorus

Dm             Em F
We put our all in
But now we're falling
Am                      G
We didn't know when to call it
Now we're touching down
Dm        Em F
Put our all in
But now we're falling
Am                        G
It all makes sense to me now

Chorus:
We were hopeless romantics
How did this happen?
Baby, our love was beautiful, now it’s tragic
We were hopeless romantics
And I can't imagine
You falling in love with anybody else

We were hopeless romantics
How did this happen?
Baby, our love was beautiful, now it’s tragic
We were hopeless romantics
And I can't imagine
Falling in love with anybody else

Don't hold your breath
I don't think we got much time left
