Intro: Ab Fm 

    Ab                Fm 
We landed our heavy hearts 
 Ab          Fm 
motors with broken parts 
Bbm                C# 
we had a deck of cards 
          Ab       Fm 
it was a start 

We'd sit out in the sun 
and wait for our skin to turn

                  C#/F         Fm

and you'd look for something to burn 


[Refrão]

Oh, we walked in a hallowed place back then 
on the edge of Dublin, the edge of May and June 
Oh, to live in a paper house again 
where we grew by the light of the moon 

You were much younger then 
younger than I am now 
I still keep as much an eye as the wires allow 
I still keep as much an eye as the wires allow 


[Refrão]

Oh, we walked in a hallowed place back then 
on the edge of Dublin, the edge of May and June 
Oh, to live in a paper house again 
where we grew by the light of the moon 

Oh, you know what you are to me 
and you know you will always be
