[Intro]
| C C/B | Am Em | F G | C |
 
[Verse 1]
C         C/B       Am       Em
Maybe you thought I hung the moon
F         Em              Dm       G
Maybe you thought we were Johnny & June
C        C/B            Am      Em
Maybe we thought it was just us two
F        G         C
Maybe we spoke too soon
 
[Verse 2]
C        C/B        Am         Em
We never lie and we don't tell tales
F           Em              Dm    G
We bite our tongues and our fingernails
C          C/B         Am         Em
We fall in love and we don't fall out
F        G        C
Maybe we speak to soon
 
[Chorus]
C      C/B     Am     Em   F        C      G
Here's you and me and in between we draw a line
             C   C/B        Am
But we can't see where it's bent
   Em          F         C     G
We scratch our heads and race against
               C
The heart's content
C/B  Am     Em     F   G  C
- Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh yeah
 
[Verse 3]
C        C/B         Am       Em
Maybe we hurt who we love the most
F          Em         Dm    G
Maybe it's all we can stand -
C        C/B              Am       Em
Maybe we walk through the world as ghosts
         F           G        C
Break my own heart before you can
 
[Chorus]
C      C/B     Am     Em   F        C      G
Here's you and me and in between we draw a line
             C   C/B        Am
But we can't see where it's bent
   Em          F         C     G
We scratch our heads and race against
               C
The heart's content
C/B  Am     Em     F   G  C
- Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh yeah
 
[Break]
| C C/B | Am Em | F G | C |
 
[Verse 4]
C        C/B          Am    Em
Maybe we know how the story ends
F          Em        Dm      G
Maybe it's not even about us -
C         C/B        Am     Em
We both retreat to opposing sands
        F          G      C
And the love lives on without us
 
[Bridge]
C C/B Am            Em
- -   - One thing I know for sure is
F         Em     Dm
Love will find a way
F         Em     Dm
Love will find a way
 
[Chorus]
C      C/B     Am     Em   F        C      G
Here's you and me and in between we draw a line
             C   C/B        Am
But we can't see where it's bent
   Em          F         C     G
We scratch our heads and race against
               C
The heart's content
C/B  Am     Em    |F    |
- Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
 
[Outro]
|G         |C  C/B |Am     Em    |F     |
 -- You and me - Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
|G         |C  C/B |Am     Em    |F     |
 -- You and me - Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
|G         |C  C/B |Am     Em    |F   G |C    |
 -- You and me - Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh yeah
 
 
 
Charted by Dexex
FYI: My chord charts are not "tabs" (guides to replicating an artist's past performance).
I don't claim any of my charts show the "right" way to play a song. Instead, this chord
chart represents my personal interpretation of this song. And as a personal interpretation,
it's not something I care to debate. It's a road map for my own, and maybe your own future
performances.
 
If you have another way to play this song, great. Please, post your own chart.
We all benefit when someone contributes. Cheers! Dexex
