Standing, by t

The guns, shot

           
 above our hea

ds (over our h

eads)
             
And we kissed 

              
as though noth

          
ing could fall

 (nothing coul

d fall)
             
And the shame

Maybe we’re ly

           
ing    then yo

             
u better not s

 
tay

Oh Oh Ohhh Ohhh
