VERSE 1
C/G
We knew it all from a little thing
It was everything in our first minute
And it took us to another place
Yeah another place and we fell in it
PRE-CHORUS 1 (Guitar 2: Palm-muted)
Bb F
How dare you not remember
C/G
How dare you walk away
VERSE 2
C/G
We adored every little thing
Every little thing would leave us breathless
Every dawn spelled another day
And in another day we weren’t so restless
PRE-CHORUS 2 (Guitar 2: Palm-muted)
Bb F
How dare you not remember
G
How dare you walk away
CHORUS
F
And I wanted you so much
G
Just like I do right now
Am G F
I wanted us to be the one the poets write their books about
Dm
I wanted it to last
F C
I wanted to grow old, but life got in the way
VERSE 3
C/G
We walked around in a heavy haze
We were stuck in days of so much warring
We got lost in a tricky maze
Yeah a tricky maze that was so scarring
PRE-CHORUS 3 (Guitar 2: Palm-muted)
Bb F
How come you can’t remember
C/G
How dare you walk away
VERSE 4
C/G
Then you start to add the little things
Add the little things and trip the mighty
Now we got a little bitter thing
A little bitter thing that grew like ivy
PRE-CHORUS 4 (Guitar 2: Palm-muted)
Bb F
And how dare you not remember
G
How dare you walk away

F C

BRIDGE
Am G F C
And apathy grows quietly where rapture used to fly
Am G Dm
And promises and certainty have left love here to die
F G C/G
Won’t you stay and don’t let this one fall away
