     D          A       Bm
You hold your truth so purely
Bm           A          G        Bm
Swerve not through the minds of men
      D          A
This lie, it is dead
          D      A            Bm
And this cup of yours tastes holy
   Bm             A         G          Bm
A brush with the devil can clear your mind
       D              A
And strengthen your spine

Chorus:
     A             G               D
But fingers tap into what you were once
         A               G            D
And I'm worried that I blew my only chance

  G              D
Whispers in the dark
         A                       D
Steal a kiss and you'll break a heart
               G                     D
Pick up your clothes and curl your toes
            A               D
Learn your lesson, lead me home
          G            D
Spare my sins for the ark
            A       D
I was too slow to depart
       G                 D
I'm a cad but I'm not a fraud
       A                D
I set out to serve the Lord.

 A      D
But my heart
     G                 D
Was colder when you'd gone
A          D
I lost my head
     G                    D
But found the one that I loved
           A  D
Under the sun
           A  D
Under the sun

Chorus - x2

And my heart was colder when you'd gone
And I lost my head;
let's live while we are young
While we are young
While we are young
While we are young
