(G major)
Do you remember (G sharp minor) all (G sharpdim) of those pledges
Verse 1
(A minor)
That we (G major) pledged in the
(G sharp minor) passionate (G sharpdim) night (A minor)
Ah they're soiled (C major) now,
they're torn at the edges (G major)
Like (C minor) moths on a still yellow light (G sharp major) (G major)
No penance serves (G sharpdim) to renew (A minor) them
No (G major) massive (G sharpdim) transfusions of (A minor) trust
Why not (C major) even revenge can undo (G major) them
So (C minor) twisted these vows and so crushed (G major)
