These are If We Were Vampires chords by Noah Kahan feat. Wesley Schultz on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard.
[Intro]
C Fmaj7
C Fmaj7
F C Am
F C Am G
[Verse 1]
C
It's not the long,
flowing dress that
Fmaj7
you're in
C
Or the light coming
Fmaj7
off of your skin
F
The fragile heart you
C Am
protected for so long
F
Or the mercy in your
C Am G
sense of right and wrong
C
It's not your hands
Fmaj7
searching slow in the dark
C
Or your nails leaving
Fmaj7
love's watermark
F
It's not the way you
C Am
talk me off the roof
F
Your questions like
C Am G
directions to the truth
[Chorus]
F
It's knowing that this
C
can't go on forever
F
It's likely one of us will
C
have to spend some
G
days alone
F
Maybe we'll get
C
forty years together
C Am
But one day I'll be gone
Am C G
Or one day you'll be gone
[Verse 2]
C
If we were vampires
Fmaj7
and death was a joke
C
We'd go out on the
Fmaj7
sidewalk and smoke
F C
Laugh at all the lovers
Am
and their plans
F
I wouldn't feel the
C Am G
need to hold your hand
C
Maybe time running
Fmaj7
out is a gift
C
I'll work hard 'til
Fmaj7
the end of my shift
F
And give you every
C Am
second I can find
F C
And hope it isn't me
Am G
who's left behind
