[Verse]
C G F
I guess the moon it had it out for us
C G Am
And the night and the stars the same
C G F
Everything she touched turned to stone or died eventually
C G Am
Or was never seen the same again
[Chorus]
Am G
Yeah, and this heart I had
F G
You never sympathize
Am G
And while you held my hand
F G
I think I witnessed a crime
[Verse]
C G F
While she drove we sat in silence
C G Am
All I could do was try to breathe
C G F
Her and I we never talked too much or licked our wounds
C G Am
Just lived between the hours of sleep
[Chorus]
Am G
And in this dream I had
F G
My screams were baby's breath
Am G
I watched her steal the air
F G
Right from the atmosphere
Am G
Oh this heart I had
F G
You never paid no mind
A G
And on the long drive home
F G
I think I witnessed a crime

Dm F Gm7 F
And she said I just went crazy from the heat
Dm F Gm7 F
And I just lit a little fire under your feet
Dm F Gm7 F
And that's not so bad see people do it all the time
Dm F Gm7 F
It's just a little bit of blood in your eyes
Am G F
So boy, stop all your crying
[Chorus]
Am G
And all my debonair
F G
Died in her arms one night
Am G
You go so quietly
F G
Once you've seen the end
Am G
Oh this heart I had
F G
You never paid no mind
Am G
And on the drive home
F G
I think I witnessed a crime
