VERSE:
       Dm
Let me set the scene
                                Gm
Two lovers ripped right at the seams
                       Bb
They woke up from the perfect dream
Bbmaj7                 A
And then the darkness came
                     Dm
I signed the papers yesterday
                        Gm
You came and took your things away
                     Bbmaj7
And moved out of the home we made
                        A
And gave you back your name

CHORUS:
              Gm
What have we done?
                Gm
Did we fly too high just to
                   Dm   C
get burned by the suuun-un
             Gm
No one's to blame
                         Gm
'Cause we called all the angels
to save us
                Dm      C
Called them by naaaa-a-ame
                     Bbmaj7  Bb
But I guess they got lost
      Dm
Star-crossed
