Chord arrangement

I'm not 100% sure on these lyrics...


*A quick note about the verses: these aren't the exact chords that Nina and Louise play,
 but they combine Nina and Louise's parts with the roots of Steve's awesome bass line, 
 and makes it sound great and full when playing this solo acoustic!


Intro: 

Cadd9 - G (x2)
Cadd9 - Gadd9 (x2)


Verse:

Cadd9                  Gadd9
Time flies and I can’t keep up
Cadd9                   Gadd9
All the years I have to sweep up
Cadd9                Gadd9
Late at night I’m in my bed and in my head
Cadd9                     Gadd9
And the feelings start to creep up

Cadd9                   Gadd9
Remember how we used to dress up
Cadd9                         Gadd9
You’re beautiful until you’re messed up
Cadd9                  Gadd9              Cadd9
Take a picture cause I think we’re losing light
                   Bm                   C
This is how we say goodbye, it’s how we say goodnight


Chorus:

E            A              D       G   D/F#
Bang bang my head against a wall of sound
E           A                   D      G    D/F#
A wall like a love it brings me to the ground
E           A                  D      G
We surf the crowd, but we will not go down
C               G                   D
I don’t want to drown if you’re not drowning with me


Verse:

Cadd9                    Gadd9 
Late December when we’re waking
Cadd9                 Gadd9 
There’s an unfamiliar aching
Cadd9               Gadd9 
By the way you held my hand, held my heart
Cadd9                  Gadd9 
I didn’t notice it was breaking
Cadd9               Bm
This is how you say goodbye
             C   
It’s how you say good night


Chorus:

E              A            D          G    D/F#
My head cracks open and the stage goes black
E          A           D               G    D/F#  
I count to sixty and I meet you in the back
E            A              D        G
I can’t stop gushing, I’m a hemophiliac
C             G                   D
I don’t wanna bleed if you’re not bleeding with me

E            A                  D          G    D/F#
We count the stars but we can’t bring them down
E             A                D           G    D/F#
It's a mystic beauty, and it’s buzzing all around
E          A             D
Eight more hours and I’m leaving town
C             G                   D
I don’t wanna leave if you’re not leaving with me
C             G                     D
I don’t wanna breathe if you’re not breathing with me



Outro:

C - G - D - Am x3
C - G - D


C       G          D            Am
Love is over, it’s over and you can’t go back
C           G          D                 Am
When you’re older, you just keep telling yourself that
C           G          D              Am
The door is open, even if it’s just a tiny crack
       C               G         D
You're up at night and wandering back

C       G          D            Am
Love is over, it’s over and you can’t go back
C           G          D                 Am
When you’re older, you just keep telling yourself that
C           G          D              Am
The door is open, even if it’s just a tiny crack
       C               G         D
You're up at night and wandering back
       C               G         D
You're up at night and wandering back
