                         F#m          B
Do you remember how this first begun?
                                    E  Amaj7
Teeth were white and our skin was young
                        F#m      G#
Eyes as bright as the Spanish Sun
                            C#m D#m C#m
We had nothing we could hide

Now my dear we are two golden leaves
Clinging desperately to winter trees
Got up here like a pair of thieves
While the sirens blare outside

Chorus:
A                                   B
What's left to say when every word's been spoken?
E                            C#m
What's left to see when our eyes won't open?
A                                B
What's left to do when we've lost all hope and
E                              C#m
What's left to break when our hearts are broken?
     F#m     G# C#m D#m C#m
But sometimes.

Do you remember how this started out?
So full of hope and now we're filled with doubt
A dirty joke we used to laugh about
But it's not funny any more

I fear I choke unless I spit it out
Still smell of smoke, although the fire's gone out
Can't live with you, but I die without

Chorus - x2
