We met out on open streets
Em
When we had no place to go
G
I remember how my heart beat
Am7
When you said "I love you so"
C
Then little by little
Em Am
We choked out all the life that out love could hold oh, no
C
It's like we held a noose
Em
And baby without check
C D C G
We pulled until it grew tighter around our necks
C
Each one waiting for the other
Em
Darling to say when
C D G G4 G | G G4 G | Em Em6 Em | Em Em6 Em
Well baby you can meet me tonight on the loose end
We didn't count tomorrows
Em
We took what we could and baby we ran
G
There was no time for sorrow
Am7
Every place we went I held your hand
C
And when the night closed in
Em Am
I was sure your kisses told me all I had to know oh, no
C
It's like we held a noose
Em
And baby without check
C D C G
We pulled until it grew tighter around our necks
C
Each one waiting for the other
Em
Darling to say when
C D G G4 G | G G4 G
Well baby you can meet me tonight on the loose end

G
Our love has fallen around us
Em
Like we said it never could
G
We saw it happen to all the others
Am7
But to us it never would
C
Well how could something so bad, darling
Em Am
Come from something that was so good I don't know
C
It's like we held a noose
Em
And baby without check
C D C G
We pulled until it grew tighter around our necks

Each one waiting for the other
