My first post so go easy on me. Not exactly right, so maybe someone can tell me where I
gone wrong. Sounds pretty good though, and a great song.
 
[Intro]
| C     | C  G  | Am  F  | F  C  | x2
 
C                                       G
We met on a rooftop, swimming up for oxygen
Am              F                               C
It overlooked the sunset, but we faced the other way
C                                                            G
It was cold but her voice was shot, and downstairs they were packing it in
           Am              F                                    C
So we toughed it out placing bets on planes, as they rose above the bay
 
C                               G
And I was gonna bring her apples, when she was in need
C                           G           C
After I’d sucked the cyanide from the seeds, I was gonna bring her apples
 
C                                                               G
There were complaints and the police came, but we left no shred of proof
Am                    F                                    C
And as we leapt from roof to roof, she said she’d be my alibi
C                                                                          G
And when I said I’d do the same, she just smiled, said she wasn’t the type to get caught
Am                             F                                                    C
But when I kissed her forehead it was hot, and she was shivering against the night sky
 
C                              G
Now I’m gonna bring her apples, when she’s in need
C                          G                   C
After I suck the cyanide from the seeds, I’m gonna bring her apples
 
[Instrumental Break]
G    F    x4, C
 
G               F
I’m not trying to change you
G               F
I’m not trying to change you
G               F
I’m not trying to change you
G               F
I was never trying to change you
 
C                                       G
We met on a rooftop, swimming up for oxygen
Am              F                               C
It overlooked the sunset, but we faced the other way
C                                                               G
You were cold but your voice was shot, and downstairs they were packing it in
           Am              F                                    C
So we toughed it out placing bets on planes, as they rose above the bay
 
C                                              G
I’ll have extra air for you, any time you start to drown
Am                              F                                     C
I’ll keep you warm when the sunrise isn’t reaching through your door
C                                                   G
I’ll give you a number to count up to, when we’re touching down
Am                      F
I’ll bring you apples when your throat is sore
