F Dm If you were here beside me C A# Instead of in New York F Dm C A# If the curve of you was curved on me I'd tell you that I loved you Before I even knew you 'Cause I loved the simple thought of you If our hearts are never broken And there's no joy in the mending There's so much this hurt can teach us both And there's distance and there's silence Your words have never left me They're the prayer that I say every day Chorus: A# C Dm F Come on, come out, come here, come here A# C Dm F Come on, come out, come here, come here A# C Dm F Come on, come out, come here, come here A# C Dm F Come on, come out, come here, come here A# C The lone neon nights Dm F And the ache of the ocean A# C Dm F And the fire that was starting to spark A# C Dm F I miss it all, from the love to the lightning A# C Dm And the lack of it snaps me in two If you were here beside me Instead of in New York In the arms you said you'd never leave I'd tell you that it's simple And it was only ever thus There is nowhere else that I belong Chorus The lone neon lights And the ache of the ocean And the fire that was starting to spark I miss it all, from the love to the lightning And the lack of it snaps me in two Just give me a sign, There's an end with a beginning To the quiet chaos driving me back The lone neon lights And the warmth of the ocean And the fire that has started to go out You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA#  C  Dm  F  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
