G D/F#
x1 per line

This is played over the first verse and after the first chorus (in the last part
of the 2nd verse too - listen to the song)
I'll write in the chords as well.

*SO. in the chorus, where it says Asus, you can substitute it for Am. Whichever
you like best. Have fun.

[Verse 1]
Am G D/F#
In the party love, some man's playing Hallelujah...Hallelujah...
Am G D/F#
In the corner love, all night girls drink wine and try, to sing along...
Am G D/F#
I made a mess of things, the stops and inbetweens, they weigh me down...
Am G D/F#
You got someone new, singing you your songs now...

[Chorus]
G Asus Cadd9 G D/F# Cadd9
Sooner surrender, than watch the last wall collapse.
G Asus Cadd9 G D/F# Cadd9
I'd sooner surrender, and our love would count for everything...

[Verse 2]
Am G D/F#
In my sweetest dreams it's just you and me, and we break wide.
Am
I wake reminded love, of how I just gave up,
G D/F#
and how you moved on, how you moved on...
Am
I'm waiting for something, I've waited for now,
G D/F# Am
for the rolling canyons of love.
G D/F#
And I'm tongue tied and you're coming alive, coming alive...

[Chorus]

G Asus Cadd9 G D/F# Cadd9
Sooner surrender, than watch the last wall collapse.
G Asus Cadd9 G D/F# Cadd9
I'd sooner surrender, and our love would count for everything...

[Bridge]
Am G D/F# Am
I'm sorry that you're gone, so sorry that you've gone
Am G D/F#
I'm sorry that you've gone, ohhh.
Am G D/F# Am Cadd9
And I'm sorry that you've gone, so sorry that you've gone away...
Am
You're a little bit right..
Cadd9 Am Cadd9
More than a little bit right, with my arms around you...

[Chorus]

G Asus Cadd9 G D/F# Cadd9
Sooner surrender, than watch the last wall collapse.
G Asus Cadd9 G D/F# Cadd9
I'd sooner surrender, and our love would count for everything...
G Asus Cadd9 G D/F# Cadd9
I'd sooner surrender, than watch the last wall collapse, I know,
G Asus Cadd9 G D/F# Cadd9
I'd sooner surrender, and our love would count for everything...
G D/F# Cadd9
And our love would count for everything...
G D/F# Cadd9
And I miss when you were everything...
