Standard (EADGBE)
Intro
X2
We met on a rooftop, Swimming up for oxygen
It overlooked the sunset, But we faced the other way
It was cold but her voice was shot, And downstairs they were packing it in
So we toughed it out placing bets on planes, As they rose above the bay
And I was gonna bring her apples, When she was in need
After Id sucked the cyanide from the seeds, I was gonna bring her apples,
There were complaints and the police came, But we left no shred of proof
And as we leapt from roof to roof, She said shed be my alibi
And when I said Id do the same, She just smiled and said she wasnt the type to get caught
But when I kissed her forehead it was hot, And she was shivering against the skyline
And now Im gonna bring her apples, When shes in need
After I suck the cyanide from the seeds, Im gonna bring her apples
(Instrumental break)
Im not trying to change you
Im not trying to change you
Im not trying to change you
I was never trying to change you
We met on a rooftop, Swimming up for oxygen
It overlooked the sunset, But we faced the other way
It was cold but her voice was shot, And downstairs they were packing it in
So we toughed it out placing bets on planes, As they rose above the bay
Ill have extra air for you , Any time you start to drown
Ill keep you warm when the sunrise isnt reaching through your door
Ill give you a number to count up to, When were touching down
Ill bring you apples when your throat is sore
