[Intro]
Bm  Bm   A   A
G    G     G    A

[Verse 1]
Bm
The music played with a calming frequency
A
The speakers gently seeped with sounds
                      Bm
Of ambient keyboards and light percussion
                                    A
Creating a seductive soundtrack to our midnight drive
                                  Bm
Through curtains of blackness, the windows were cold to the touch
A
Reflecting the icy conditions in our immediate extremity
G
Salt stains and fingerprints littered the glass
                                                              Bm
And streaks of melting snow cascaded down its length
                                                 A
The music pulsed louder, yet gentle
                                             Bm
Like the far away squeal of a pot of boiling water
                                          A
The skyline was glowing faintly with vague hints of an impending dawn
Bm
The car raced along a painfully straight stretch of road
A
And she hadn't so much as turned the steering wheel
           G
Two degrees in the last twenty minutes
         A
Nor had we spoken

[Chorus]
          D               A                Bm
As we were, so perfect, so happy
            D                                A                                Bm
They'll remember, only our smiles cause that's all they've seen
                   D                              A                    F#m                      G
Long since dried, when we are found, are the tears in which we had drowned
           D              A                 Bm
As we were, so perfect, so happy

[Verse 2]
Bm                                                             A
"Why are you doing this?" she spoke as if not expecting a response
                                        Bm
Her voice penetrated the still air of our speechless drive
       A
So suddenly that my heart had jumped
                          Bm
"I'm not doing anything," I said, but I didn't even believe that myself
A                                                  G
"This is what's best, for me, for you, for us," or maybe just for me I thought
G
As a tear formed in the pit of her eye
Bm
The music poured through the speakers and
                A
We were losing ourselves in the cadence
                    Bm
She looked down momentarily and closed her eyes for
           A
A bit longer than a standard blink
                       Bm                                                    A
Then she was crying, then she was shouting. Then I was shouting
                                                           G
Now pouring confessions, having no answers, or solutions
G
We barely even knew the questions

[Chorus]
           D              A                 Bm
As we were, so perfect, so happy
             D                              A                                  Bm
They'll remember, only our smiles cause that's all they've seen
                   D                              A                   F#m                       G
Long since dried, when we are found, are the tears in which we had drowned
          D               A                 Bm
As we were, so perfect, so happy

[Riff]
Bm   G   A   G    x4

[Bridge]
Bm            G        A        G     Bm       G                A                       G
Don't put me underground, I was meant for a life somewhere else
Bm                G                   A   G     Bm     G                 A        G
Please, love, give me the wheel, before both of our hearts you
G
Will steal tonight (will steal tonight)

[Chorus]
          D               A                Bm
As we were, so perfect, so happy
           D                                 A                                 Bm
They'll remember, only our smiles cause that's all they've seen
          D                                       A/E                 F#m                     G
Long since dried, when we are found, are the tears in which we had drowned
          D               A                 Bm
As we were, so perfect, so happy

[Outro]
Bm
Our cracking voices became part of the music.
               A
The car pressed on faster through the night
                                             G
As our voices lowered the cadence again overtook the air
G
Up ahead there was a curve approaching
                            A
She made no indications of slowing
