(A minor)
(C major)
Verse 1
Lately I've been wishing I had (C major)
one desire (F major)
(A minor) (E minor) Something that would make
me never want another
(A minor) Something that would make
it so that nothing matters
(D minor) All would be clear (Ddim) (F minor) then

Verse 2
But I guess (C major) I'll have to settle for
a for a few brief moments
And (E minor) watch all dissolve into a single second
And (A minor) try to write it down
into a perfect sonnet
(D minor) Or one foolish line
Verse 3
Because that's (D minor) all that you'll (G major) get
so you'll (A minor) have to ac (D minor) cept
You are (F major) here and then you're (G major) gone
But (C major) I believe that lovers should
be tied together and
(E minor) Thrown into the ocean in
the worst of weather
Verse 4
And (A minor) left there to drown
Left there to drown
In their (D minor) innocence
But (C major) as for me I'm coming to the final chapter
Verse 5
I (E minor) read all of the pages and
there is still no answer
(A minor) Only all that was before I know
must soon come after
That is (D minor) the only way it can be
So I (F major) stand in the (G major) sun
Verse 6
And I (A minor) breathe with my (D minor) lungs
Trying to (F major) spare myself the weight (G major)
of the (A minor) truth (F major) (D minor)
(A minor) Saying (C major) everything (F major) you have (C major) ever
seen was just a mirror
And you've (E minor) spent your whole
life sweating in an endless fever
Verse 7
And now you are (A minor) laying ina
bathtum full of freezing (D minor) water
Wish (Ddim) ing you were a ghost (F minor)
But (C major) once you knew a girl and
you named her lover
And (E minor) danced with her in kitchens
through the greenest summer
Verse 8
But (A minor) autumn came, she disappeared
You don't remember where
(D minor) she said she was going to
But you (F major) know that she (G major) is gone
because she (A minor) left you a (D minor) song
That you (F major) don't want to (G major) sing
Verse 9
We're singing (C major) I believe that lovers
should be chained together
(F major) And (E minor) thrown into a fire with
their songs and letters (A minor)
And left there to burn in their (D minor) arrogance
But (C major) as for me I'm coming
to my final (F major) (C major) failure
Verse 10
I've (E minor) killed myself with changes
trying to make it better
But I still (A minor) ended up becoming something
other than (D minor) what I had planned to be
Now I (C major) believe (E minor) (A minor) (D minor) (B flat major) (D minor)
(F major)
that lovers should (C major) be draped in flowers
And (E minor) laid entwined together
on a bed of clover
Verse 11
And (A minor) left there to sleep
Left there to dream of their (E major) happiness
(F minor)
