D#m                                     A#m
He said to lose my life or lose my love,
G#                                         D#m
That's the nightmare I've been running from.
                                     A#m
So let me hold you in my arms a while,
G#                               D#m
I was always careless as a child.

And there's a part of me that still believes
My soul will soar above the trees
But a desperate fear flows through my blood
That a dead love's buried beneath the mud

Chorus:
D#m                    F#
Let's grow old together,
    C#
And die at the same time.
D#m                    F#
Let's grow old together,
    C#                  D#m
And die at the same time.

I said, "I've got no time, I have to go"
And I was more right than I will ever know
He said, "My heart is fate", well mine's regret
And left him crying next to the chapels steps

Chorus

          D#m
So let me hold you in my arms a while,
F#             C#
I was careless as a child.
          D#m
There's a part of me that still believes,
   F#               C#
My soul will soar above the trees.
   D#m
A desperate fear flows through my blood,
    F#                   C#
Our dead loves buried beneath the mud.
    D#m
A desperate fear flows through my blood,
     F#                  C#
Our dead loves buried beneath the mud
