Intro: Cmaj7 G Cmaj7 Em D
[Verse 1]
Cmaj7
In the evening when the stars shine down
G
All the bridge and tunnel girls come out
Cmaj7
We can dance until the walls fall down
Em D
Cause tonight we own this town
Cmaj7
But in the morning when the sun’s on fire
Em
Burning through you like a razor wire
D
When we see ourselves in passing windows
D
We feel like hell everyone knows
[Chorus 1]
Cmaj7
You can’t go back heaven help me
G
We’ve gone too far when we can’t be
Cmaj7 Em
The ones we want this is who we are
D
Who we are
[Verse 2]
Cmaj7
A shot of neon in a window pane
G
A shot of whiskey and we’re young again
Cmaj7
You’re moving further but you just can’t win
Em D
That’s the way it’s always been
Cmaj7
You don’t wanna let your life go by
Em
So you give until the well runs dry
D
But when you lose your faith it never grows back
D
And time don’t wait now you know that
[Chorus 2]
Cmaj7
You can’t go back heaven help me
G
We’ve gone too far when we can’t be
Cmaj7 Em
The ones we want this is who we are
D
Who we are
I’m sorry but
Cmaj7
You can’t go back heaven help me
G
We know too much please believe me
Cmaj7 Em
Believe yourself this is who you are
D
Who you are
[Bridge]
Cmaj7 Em
You try to get your head around it but it’s never enough
Cmaj7 Em D
You give yourself a little something but it’s not what you need
Cmaj7
And all that worry all for nothing
Em
Where you’ve been and where you’re going
D
And even if you changed it somehow
D
Every step would lead to right now
[Chorus 3]
Cmaj7
You can’t go back heaven help me
G
We’ve gone too far when we can’t be
Cmaj7 Em
The ones we want this is who we are
D
Who we are
I can tell you that
Cmaj7
You can’t go back heaven help me
G
We know too much please believe me
Cmaj7 Em
Believe yourself this is who you are
D
Who you are
Cmaj7
You can’t go back
Heaven help me
G
We’ve gone too far
Cmaj7
You can’t go back
Em
This is who we are
D
Who we are
