Homerun Hitter

D F#m A C#m F#m F#m D If I'm gonna say it like it is F#m We've become identical to them A We've become the strangers we don't know C#m F#m A dying rose D I'm forty miles North of where we met F#m You're forty miles South of where we live A It doesn't matter where we try to go C#m F#m If all the exits are closed D There's nothing I could say E To keep my head above the water F#m There's nothing I could do A If I lose one, I lose two D 'Cause I thought you were the Homerun Hitter, the cherry that never bitters E F#m Like the first taste of heat, the feeling I want to keep until I'm dead (Dead, dead) A There's nothing I could do (Do, do) D And I thought you were a Cold Blood Assassin, a truth I couldn't imagine E But that light never painted the room F#m Now there's nothing I could do (Do, do) A To make it easier on you D It's more than just the fire going out F#m It's more than just the candles on the ground A It's everything you wanted us to be F#m The parts I won't see D The door I always locked, you left it open F#m Too afraid that you would blink and it would close-in A And we would lose our vulnerability F#m Oh, we were so naive D 'Cause I thought you were the Homerun Hitter, the cherry that never bitters E F#m Like the first taste of heat, the feeling I want to keep until I'm dead (Dead, dead) A There's nothing I could do (Do, do) D And I thought you were a Cold Blood Assassin, a truth I couldn't imagine E But that light never painted the room F#m Now there's nothing I could do (Do, do) A To make it easier on you D Easier on—, easier on— E Easier on—, easier on— F#m Easier on—, easier on— A Easier on you D E There's nothing I could say to keep those gorgeous eyes from crying F#m There's nothing I could do A If I lose you, I lose too D 'Cause I thought you were the Homerun Hitter, the cherry that never bitters E F#m Like the first taste of heat, the feeling I want to keep until I'm dead (Dead, dead) A There's nothing I could do (Do, do) D And I thought you were a Cold Blood Assassin, a truth I couldn't imagine E But that light never painted the room F#m Now there's nothing I could do (Do, do) A To make it easier on— D Easier on—, easier on— E Easier on—, easier on— F#m Easier on—, easier on— A Easier on you A D E F#m A
