[Intro]
Am G Fmaj7

[Verse 1]
Am                   G
This is a dark parade
                       Fmaj7
Another rough patch to rain on,
to rain on
Am
I know your friends
                G
have been saying
                         Fmaj7
This is the cause of celebration
if it parades though

[Pre-Chrous]
G
Photographs of civil thorns
                  C
so still the pass barely
            Fmaj7
finding the call, alone
           G
There were times when I
could feel your ghost
              C
Just when I'm almost
            Fmaj7
letting you go
       G
'Cause cars were stuck
against us both

[Chorus]
C             G
I will always love you for
what it's worth
Dm         C        F
Never fade like graffiti
on the overpass
C               G
I know time may change the
way we think of us
Dm                        C
But I remember the way we were
             F
You were the first full stop
                     G
Love that will never leave
G
Baby, you'll never be lost on me

[Post-Chorus]
Am                    G
  Ooh, ooh, ooh, oooh
               Fmaj7
Ooh, ooh, ooh, oooh

[Verse 2]
Am                    G
This is got them shame
                Fmaj7
Never wanted to break it or
leave us tainted
Am                    G
Now I should walk away
                   Fmaj7
But I just can't replace us
or even erase us

[Pre-Chorus]
G
Cars were stuck at
the engines store
               C
And both of us all got
           Fmaj7
out in the snow, alone
           G
There were times to ride,
forget, lose
                     C
Things that hide for all
                Fmaj7
that we've ever known
G
Cars were stuck against us both

[Chorus]
C             G
I will always love you
for what it's worth
Dm         C        F
Never fade like graffiti
on the overpass
C               G
I know time may change
the way we think of us
Dm                        C
But I remember the way we were
             F
You were the first full stop
                     G
Love that will never leave
G
Baby, you'll never be lost on me
