C G C G Dm G Dm G
C G C G Dm G C
[Verse 1]
C G
Alone at first sight you're a terrible thing
C G
I walked into the room and I fell to my knees
Dm G
Boy, you should have seen her
Dm G
I wish I'd never been there
C G
Inked up arms that stretched down to the keys
C G
A smile that could kill you and a voice to believe
Dm G
and I thought I used to know her
Dm G
These days I hardly bother
[Pre-Chorus]
Dm G
We talked and caught up over a couple of beers
Dm G
Two pasts and two futures always unclear
Dm G C
Maybe you and I could just disappear for a while
[Instrumental]
C G C G Dm G C
[Verse 2]
C G
So we wrote down some songs and we toured up the coast
C G
I know there 's been others but I gave you the most
Dm G
These days we've got it made good
Dm G
Yea, but nothing lasts in this world
C G
We lit up fast but we burned out quick
C G
What starts off as magic always ends up a trick
Dm G
because no one 's going to have her.
Dm G
And nothing's going to save me.
[Pre-Chorus]
Dm G
We went back North separate into the cold
Dm G
I'm hold up in the house where I live alone
Dm G
Can 't we just talk about it a little more?
[Chorus]
C G
She said hey, don't cry
C G
Don't miss me, Don't write
Dm G
We were only making records
Dm G
We were only making records
C G
She said Hey, don't fight
C G
Don't kiss me goodbye
Dm G
We were only making records
Dm G
We were only making records
Dm G C
We were only making records, and killing time
[Instrumental]
C G C G Dm G Dm G
G C G Dm G C
[Pre-Chorus]
Dm G
We lit up fast but we burned out quick
Dm G
She blew out the candle, I smothered the wick
Dm G
She took what was left and hit the bricks
[Chorus]
C G
She said hey, don't cry
C G
Don't miss me, Don't write
Dm G
We were only making records
Dm G
We were only making records
C G
She said Hey, don't fight
C G
Don't kiss me goodbye
Dm G
We were only making records
Dm G
We were only making records

We were only making records, and killing time
