We met out on open streets
Am
When we had no place to go
C
I remember how my heart beat
Dm
When you said "I love you so"
F
Then little by little
Am Dm
We choked out all the life that out love could hold oh, no
F
It's like we held a noose
Am
And baby without check
F G F C
We pulled until it grew tighter around our necks
F
Each one waiting for the other
Am
Darling to say when
F G C C4 C C C4 C Am Am6 Am Am Am6 Am
Well baby you can meet me tonight on the loose end
We didn't count tomorrows
Am
We took what we could and baby we ran
C
There was no time for sorrow
Dm
Every place we went I held your hand
F
And when the night closed in
Am Dm
I was sure your kisses told me all I had to know oh, no
F
It's like we held a noose
Am
And baby without check
F G F C
We pulled until it grew tighter around our necks

Each one waiting for the other

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

We pulled until it grew tighter around our necks
