Dm           F                  Dm              Am
Not whole, not wholly separate, but syncopated, single in our nature
        Dm                  F
And because of the times, not a word was said when the lights came on
        Dm                       Am
Or a glace given pause at the cost of our desired wrongs
        Dm                              F
It's second nature to love you, but it's first to die
                 Dm              F                         Dm
And we were killed upon waking, killed upon waking to the life
                                F
We weren't prepared to live, but rebelled to realize
           Dm                         F
We were killed upon the pavement, Bonnie we're immortalized in

[Chorus]
Dm                         F                            Am               F
Blood and cold, cold love, we were still young when the radio lights came on
                 Dm                F
Elton's on the air, no fair dear that we were still here
        Dm                        F
In the absence of everything, abstain from fear
     Dm                 F
If I cry in your arms, it's just some other shit, just some other shit

Just some other things that I've been dealing with
     Dm                F
I'd die in your arms, bury me while playing this
Dm                            F
Bury me saying: "You were all I ever needed"
        Dm                                F                                Dm
And hold me like we're dying from the liquor that we drank down in hotel rooms

To feel warm in cold love

[Verse]
                F
What's harder, harder to say?
        Bb                                              Dm
That you want me to stay, or that you want me stay unchanged for you?
F                           Bb
Chained to a lie, we're the same you and I, we're the same
                     Dm                 F                            Bb
Well not the same, we hurt differently, but consistent in our pain
                                       Dm                                   F
Equal and equidistant in the way we laugh to lay bear the weight of our cold love affair
Dm
Recalling the days where we were, we weren't, we were
F                       Dm                         F            
Wrong for the papers, wrong for the dinner tables of the inner rings of the rich and famous anything's
       Dm                           F              Dm                   
It's gone, not bad, just gone, my bad, just wrong, we had, and we had, and we were then in

[Chorus]
Dm                         F                            Am               F
Blood and cold, cold love, we were still young when the radio lights came on
                 Dm                F
Elton's on the air, no fair dear that we were still here
        Dm                        F
In the absence of everything, abstain from fear
     Dm                 F
If I cry in your arms, it's just some other shit, just some other shit

Just some other things that I've been dealing with
     Dm                F
I'd die in your arms, bury me while playing this
Dm                            F

And hold me like we're dying from the liquor that we drank down in hotel rooms

To feel warm

        Bb                                              Dm
That you want me to stay, or that you want me stay unchanged for you?
F                           Bb
Chained to a lie, we're the same you and I, we're the same
Dm
                F
What's harder, harder to fake?
           Bb                                                   Dm
That you want me to stay, or that you want me stay the same for you?
F                           Dm                             Dm Am F
Chained to a lie. Who's to blame? Let it die. We're the same

Blood and cold, cold love, we were still young when the radio lights came on
                 Dm    F
Elton's on the air
