and the water  (D major) always flowing,
G 
 (G major) and the candles always burning,
Bm 
A 
 (B minor) and the porch  (A major) light always broken?
F#m

D

F#m 
this outfit is amaz (F sharp minor) ing
G

But no, I didn't say any of that
F#m 
It was just another  (F sharp minor) mo    ment crystallizing

An (G major) other open letter to forever  (E major) 
F 
Like the  (F major) fast food trash
E
