​a-ha - The Wake: chords

Bm               D
Can't change the one you are
 A               G           A
Can't change the one you love
            D
Lower your guard

I've made a few mistakes
I'll tell you what it takes
Under the stars

G                              D
Have you seen the other me at times?
G                          Em A
Walking on an ever looser line

Chorus:
D
Baby this is a wake
Bm                        F#m
You and I will not escape
              A
As time goes by
D
The world's never been older
Bm                       F#m
Your head on my shoulder
               A
So close your eyes

Stung by normality
Wronged by your family
Conventions aside

Cannot change the one you love
From inside – or from above
Just hold him tight

Walking on an ever looser line
But love has let me over every time

Chorus:
Baby we're on a wake
You and I will not escape
Just close your eyes
The world's never been older
Your head on my shoulder
As time goes by

Baby this is a wake
None of us will escape
Who we are
The world's never been older
Your head on my shoulder
As time goes by
