C5       
lately i've been wishing i had one desire
E5
something that would make me never want another
A5
something that would make it so that nothing matters
D5  
all would be clear then  but i 
C5
guess i'll have to settle for a for a few brief moments and 
E5
watch all dissolve into a single second
    A5
and try to write it down into a perfect sonnet
   D5  
or one foolish line
            F5               G5             A5
cauz that's all that you'll get so you'll have to 
D5  
accept
        F5                    G5
you are here and then you're gone

*sing the chorus now*
    C5
but i believe that lovers should be tied together and
E5
thrown into the ocean in the worst of weather and 
A5
left there to drown, left there to drown
        D5  
in their innocence but 
C5
as for me i'm coming to the final chapter
  E5
i read all of the pages and there is still no answer
A5
only all that was before i know must soon come after
            D5  
that is the only way it can be
     F5            G5
so i stand in the sun
      A5          D5              
and i breathe with my lungs
          F5                G5                 ( A5 )
trying to spare myself the weight of the truth saying 
C5
everything you have ever seen was just a mirror
           E5
and you've spent your whole life sweating in an endless fever
                A5
and now you are laying ina bathtum full of freezing 
      D5  
water wishing you were a ghost
    C5
but once you knew a girl and you named her lover
    E5
and danced with her in kitchens through the greenest 
           A5
summer but autumn came, she disappeared
                         D5  
you don't remember where she said she was going to 
        F5                G5                A5
but you know that she is gone because she left you a 
D5  
song
         F5             G5
that you don't want to sing
        C5   
singing i believe that lovers should be chained together
    E5      
and thrown into a fire with their songs and letters
    A5
and left there to burn, left there to burn in their 
D5  
arrogance
    C5
but as for me i'm coming to my final failure
     E5
i've killed myself with changes trying to make it better
            A5
but i still ended up becoming something other than 
D5  
what i had planned to be...ALRIGHT!!! [C,Em ,Am , D(b5)]
    C5      
now i believe that lovers should be draped in flowers
    E5
and layed entwined together on a bed of clover
    A5
and left there to sleep, left there to dream of their 
D5     D5   
happiness  

End on this:
