[Verse 1]
 
F                    A7
You've gotta help me, I'm losing my mind,
Dm                                    Cm7
keep getting the feeling you want to leave this all behind.
                 Bb                             Gm
Thought we were going strong I thought we were holding on,
Bb/C      F
Aren't we?
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
F                       A7
No, they don't teach you this in school,
Dm                              Cm7               F
now my heart's breaking and I don't know what to do.
                 Bb                            Bb/C
Thought we were going strong, thought we were holding on,
 
aren't we?
 
 
[Chorus]
 
          F                     Dm
You and me got a whole lot of history,
          Gm                              C/Bb
we could be the greatest team that the world has ever seen.
         F                         Dm
You and me got a whole lot of history,
          Gm                F/A                   Bb     Bb/C
so don't let it go, we can make some more, we can live forever.
 
 
[Verse 3]
 
F                  A7
All of the rumours, all of the fights,
Dm                           Cm7
but we always find a way to make it out alive.
                 Bb                            Gm
Thought we were going strong, thought we were holding on
C        F   Bb/C
Aren't we?
 
 
[Chorus]
 
         F                      Dm
You and me got a whole lot of history,
          Gm                              C/Bb
we could be the greatest team that the world has ever seen.
         F                         Dm
You and me got a whole lot of history,
          Gm                F/A                   Bb     Bb/C
so don't let it go, we can make some more, we can live forever.
 
 
 
[Bridge]
 
Bb
Mini bars, expensive cars,
F                 C               Bb
hotel rooms, and new tattoos, the good champagne and private planes,
    F                                   Bb
But they don't mean anything 'cause the truth is out,
                   Dm
I realise that without you here life is just a lie.
        Gm
This is not the end, this is not the end.
       C
We can make it you know it, you know.
 
 
[Chorus - hand clap]
 
          F                     Dm
You and me got a whole lot of history,
          Gm                              Bb/C
we could be the greatest team that the world has ever seen.
         F                         Dm
You and me got a whole lot of history,
          Gm                F/A                   Bb     Bb/C
so don't let it go, we can make some more, we can live forever.

"hush and break" is actually "the good champagne" :)

Thanks for the tab! I used this as my basis, although.. Definitely easier to play (or teach someone) if you take everything up a full step. The chords are simpler. So verse e.g.. G, B7, Em7, Dm7, C, Am, C/D... I play the chorus in this key as : G, Em, Am, D7, G, Em, Am, B* (X20010), C, D7. Also in the middle bit there's a chord missing. So I'd go C, G, D, C, G, D, C, Em, Am, D7. Have fun!

"But we don't need anything" should be "but they don't mean anything"
