you break my heart

Temptation



For Jacob, Tristan, and Wesley

The Means 

Am D C Em 

We grew up in the valley and we only grew apart 
He ran away for freedom and I got an early start
We grew up in the valley and we only grew apart 
The freedom got away and freedom's only in the heart
Driving talkin bout it and we're part of the machine
Friday thirteen fifty two days before Halloween 

And now he's lookin at me 
Like I looked at seventeen
He'd do anything for me 
but he doesn't have the means 

He'd do anything for me 
but he doesn't have the means 

Chorus 1
We were there
Whisky out the bottle and no care
Climbed to the top to breathe in the ai-ir
Said I would not stop i wouldn't dare 

Yeah we were there
Lightning struck, stunned us and purple glare
Climbed to the top to breathe in the ai-ir
Said I would not stop always be there 

V2
Buildin up a fire and hes burning paper bags
We grew up in the riches now he's dying in the rags
Sittin by the fire and hes burning paper bags
I see all the riches and he only sees the rags
Sittin talkin bout it and the dye is burning green
He'd do anything for me but he doesn't have the means 

And now he's lookin at me
Thinking about what's between 
He'd move mountains for me
But he doesn't have the means 

He'd move mountains for me 
but he doesn't have the means

Chorus 2
It's not fair
Whisky out the bottle and we shared
Climbed to the top to breathe in the ai-ir
Said I wouldnt stop, I wouldnt dare 

Lifes just not fair
How many menthol spirits left in there?
Climbed to the top to breathe in the ai-ir
I'll always love you I'll always be there

Runnin down the mountain and the world is getting dark
They'd show us all the rainbow if we only had an ark
Driving down the valley and the sun rays in the trees 
We'd do anything for him if we only had the means
We'd do anything for him if we only had the means

Lifes just not fair
How many menthol spirits left in there?
Climbed to the top to breathe in the ai-ir
I'll always love you I'll always be there
