[Verse 1]
E A
For the wolves we fought when a child was brave
C#m
Days on a Southern strand
B A
Where we'd all pretend to be touring
E A
And I'd wait all night for the smile you'd saved
E
Or how the wind would howl
C#m
Better head back now
A
It's a warning
[Chorus]
C#m A C#m F#m
We were swimming out so far this time
C#m A E B
The sun and your eyes were the only fire
C#m A C#m F#m
Pretty intimate so far so I
C#m A C#m
Lit a holy fire
[Verse 2]
So we all gather our ghosts around the island flames
E F#m
Oh and the song she throws is not one I know
A
But it knew me
E B A
For an age long lost in time, erased
E
Days when they called our names
C#m A
Stories tucked away, you tell it to me
[Chorus]
C#m A C#m F#m
We were swimming out so far this time
C#m A E B
The sun and your eyes were the only fire
C#m A C#m F#m
Pretty intimate so far so I
C#m A C#m
Lit a holy fire
[Bridge]
C#m A F#m
Take me back to places I feel loved in
C#m A F#m
Maybe failing that, take me to Boston
C#m A F#m
Strange that I'm not seeing you as often
C#m A F#m
Wandering 'round in cities I feel lost in
C#m B
What if all the costs are even
[Chorus]
C#m A C#m F#m
We were swimming out so far this time
C#m A E B
The sun and your eyes were the only fire
C#m A C#m F#m
Pretty intimate so far so I
C#m A C#m
Lit a holy fire
