Kind of a bummer more of her stuff isn't on here, so maybe I'll do more of them.

Chords are relative to capo and the capo is on the 3rd fret. My music theory is terrible, but I think the
song is in the key of C.
[Verse 1]
A
A phased golden light
F#m
Rained down from the street light
Bm
It fell across your shoulder
E
Paused just above your collar
A
Like it had something to show me
F#m
As if I wasn't already noticing
Bm
Your eyes a shade of wonder
E
Like if thunder had a color
[Chorus]
A
It could have been harmless
F#m
Wanting to see
Bm
If I could get a little closer
E
And walk away breathing
A
It might've been cheating
F#m
Where exactly is the line?
Bm
Too early to admit it
E
I wanted you for mine
[Verse 2]
A
I kissed Maria in the alley
F#m
You laughed and spilled your whiskey
Bm
There's some I can't remember
E
A talented bartender
A
And way out in the cheap seats
F#m
The stars stared unblinking
Bm
The ones that know anything
E
Won't be revealing
[Chorus]
A
It could have been harmless
F#m
Wanting to see
Bm
If I could get a little closer
E
And walk away breathing
A
It might've been cheating
F#m
Where exactly is the line?
Bm
Too early to admit it
E
I wanted you for mine
[Bridge]
G A
There was a sword in my drink
G A
Everything's a sign, if you want it to be
E
And you want it to be
[Chorus]
A
It could have been harmless
F#m
Wanting to see
Bm
If I could get a little closer
E
And walk away breathing
A
It might've been cheating
F#m
Where exactly is the line?
Bm
Too early to admit it
E
I wanted you for mine
G F#m C#m
It could've been harmless
G F#m A
It could've been harmless
I'm pretty sure that C#m chord ain't right, so Amanda if you see this TELL ME WHAT IT IS.
