Growing up in houses just two minutes away from each other in Swords, a working class town near Dublin airport, Steve and Mark met aged eight, when they were the only boys in the school choir. Skip forward six years and they recruited Vinny,  also situated a stones throw away and together set about forming the first of myriad bands. The line-up for Kodaline was recently completed by the addition of bassist Jason Boland. The band's name, incidentally, means absolutely nothing for the moment they wanted something they could take ownership of. 

E
Running through the heat heart beat
               C#m7
You shine like silver in the sunlight
                     E
You light up my cold heart

It feels right in the sun
E
We're running round like love is what we found and
C#m7
Nothing else could matter in our life
    E
But wait, but wait, but wait
                   F#m
The sun will stop shining soon
    A                   E       B
And you'll be dark in my life
F#m                 A         E        B
It's as simple as a change of heart
  C#m        A               E         B
A love like this won't last forever
              C#m        A               E         B
I know that a love like this won't last forever

But I, I don't mind, I don't mind at all

Step into the night life
It grows dark but you don't mind
Hiding in the back streets, yeah, you'll never notice me
All that I was thinking about was cleaning up my conscience

I got lost in the memory as it shakes up the corners of my heart
Was it my mistake?

Or maybe it was just as simple as a change in your heart
Mmm, just as simple as a change in your heart

A love like this won't last forever
I know that a love like this won't last forever
A love like this
A love like this
A love like this
A love like this
A love like this
Wont last forever

Love Like This

Am                          F               C 
So you're standing in the parking lot of life

So you try to drag your feet down to the bar

When you starting to forget just who you are

Yhea.. that's just the way it is;
Am             F               C
Nobody's gonna tell you how to live

In a world that changes every day
It's easy to get lost along the way
In a world that's never as it seems
Where people try buy and sell their dreams
Where people try buy and sell their dreams

Yhea.. that's just the way it goes;          |
Maybe you'll die young before you're old     |
Yhea.. that's just the way it is;            |  X2

C        C/B           Am     
  Broken bottles in the hotel lobby
F          C                E7              Am      G   F
  Seems to me like I'm just scared of never feeling it again
    C        E7         Am       G      F
I know it's crazy to believe in silly things

It's not that easy



Verse 2:

C              C/B                Am

F             C            E7                Am   G       F
  But I only got myself to blame for it, and I accept that now
      C      E7            Am      G      F
It's time to let it go, go out and start again

  Memories, they seem to show up so quick but they leave you far too soon
    C             E7             Am     G      F
Naive, I was just staring at the barrel of the gun
            G
And I do believe that

But I know in my heart I can never go back
      C
To the way that we were on that runaway track

  C

You told me I lose control
           F
Oh I didnt know

And youre so alone tonight

     C
This heartbreak
Only choosing Gods word to save me
          F
Love is a battle oh oh oh
          C
Everybody cries

            Am          
Yea, but it all comes down to

And if you're wondering why
The position in my soul
Now I feel so alone

Like Im losing control
                C
But you're still young, oh yea

Talk

A
We never had that much to do
                                     D
So we'd just lay around in someone's house
  E
Someday I'll have it all again
                   A
Just like way back when


A
Back then we'd sleep until the afternoon
                             D
Then we'd just get up and go outside
       E
Open a window, let the breeze blow in,
               A
Forget everything


    D                  A                   E           D
Yea, those will be the days that I will be missing you
                         A                  E            D
When I'm older, when I'm gray and when I'll stop working
                  A
I hope that I can say
                     E      STOP
When all my days are done
                             A
We were just having fun


A
Well we'd go drinking in the afternoon
                                D
Lie out on the grass, and fall asleep
           E                  
Oh will I ever see that girl again?
                       A
The girl from way back when


A
Yea, we used to share a cigarette
                                 D
And t'row together everything we had
             E
And then go driving in my parents' car
                     A
We never strayed too far



       D                  A                   E           D
Oh yea, those will be the days that I will be missing you
                         A                  E            D
When I'm older, when I'm gray and when I'll stop working
                  A
I hope that I can say
                     E      STOP
When all my days are done
                 A
That I had my fun

D A E A E D

D                  A                E        E7
Those will be the days that I had my fun
    D                 A
Yea, time can move so fast
     E                E7      E
Some things are made to last
          D                A
Here's to you, my dear old friend
        E
From way back when

But you heard it, darling you look perfect tonight

Yes sir, yes sir,
G          C
Three bags full.

C           G
One for the master,

One for the dame,

F               C
And one for the little boy
G                  C
Who lives down the lane.

School Friends

Verse 1:
G                                    Em        G        Em
There was a girl who lived in London town.
G                                 Em                   G      Em
The scenes and sounds, they would only bring her down
C                                   D
She had polkadots and rubies in her dreams,
C                   D
French fantasies on cinema screens...
        C             G/B    Am     G
And she knew from the finish to the start
C      G/B      Am   G
It was bound to fall apart
C         G/B     Am   Em
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.
Em                                D
Wouldn't it be sweet if she could die from a broken heart?

G     Em      G      Em

Verse 2: (the same chords)
There was a boy who lived inside his head.
He couldn't face the world, so he turned his back instead.
He couldn't see in front of his eyes;
His fantasies of outlaws had him hypnotised...

And he knew from the finish to the start
It was bound to fall apart
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.                        F
Wouldn't it be sweet if he could die from a broken heart?

   C              G           F
Behold his golden wings
       C              G         F
And behold his bronze bow.
                 C             G         F
Can you hear his silver arrows sing?
       C               G     
As his gaylied favours glow.

(then go back to the normal verse bit)

There was a boy and girl who fell in love:
They both were in love with the stars and sky above,
Cinderella, cigarettes and scenes from the past
Were chasing them too fast for this love to ever last...

And they knew from the finish to the start
It was bound to fall apart
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.                         F
Wouldn't it be sweet if they could die from a broken heart? 

C   G    F    C    G

Repeat F  C  G until the end. End on G.

Arrows Of Eros

Somewhere along the lines, we stopped seeing eye to eye

You were staying out all night and I had enough

       F                   C            G
Summer nights and the Libertines, never growing up
Am             C          F                 C
I'll take with me the polaroids and the memories
        F              C                G
But you know I'm gonna leave behind the worst of us

It Ain't Me

Am
There's a sadness all around us
          F                         C
There are words we're too afraid to say
                                        Am
The things that I thought would last forever
    F              G
Are changing every day

          Am
There's a hunger can't be satisfied
        F                       C
And the streets are filled with rage
C                       Am
It's time to dig deep inside ourselves
F                       G
And face the life we've made

Am
It's gonna take two of us
C                           Am
Ijust can't do it all on my own
F				  C
I see the day gettin' brighter
G                    F
Hold me a little bit tighter

C                      Am      F
Out of the darkness in hand in hand
     Am               F        G
Baby together we will make our stand
C                             Am      F
Reach out and touch me we can win somehow
       Am              F                G
I know there's nothing that can stop us now
F              Am                 G   C
Oh, baby, come with me out of the darkness
