E                   C#m
I thought I knew it all
                       A
I've been through the highs, said all my goodbyes
 B                                  C#m
Learned to run before I learned to crawl
                         A                   E
It's not worth fighting for if one of us is sure
                  B               C#m         A
And one of us is dying, trying to find loves cure

I have waited all my life to paint these cities red
The thoughts I've always had here, stuck inside my
head
It's not worth waiting for if one of us wants more
And one of us is dying, trying to find love's door

Chorus:
A         B          C#m
When we learn how to fly
      E           A
We forget how to walk
         B           C#m
When we learn how to sing
                E               A
We don't wanna hear each other talk
         B          C#m         E   A
Here we are at the finish line, ah ah
         B          F#m
Here we are at the finish line

And you, you really thought you knew
Everything to do
With holding onto me and holding on
This time is making me slip right
through your hands
And now you don't understand
Trying to find love all yourself

Chorus:
When we learn how to fly
We forget to how to walk
When we learn how to sing
We don't want to hear each other talk
When we know what we want
We forget what we need
When you find who you are
You forget about me

Here we are at the finish line, ah
Here we are at the finish line, ah
Here we are at the finish line, ah

Ah, ah, ah
