Bridge (Riff Over):
G
You and me, meant to be,
Bm             A
Im-mutable, Im-possible.
G
It's destiny, pure lunacy,
Bm                A
In-calculable, In-sufferable.


Verse 1:
    G       Bm
But for the last time,
D      A/Asus2           G        Bm
You're everything that I want and ask for.
D      A/Asus2      Em/Em7
You're all that I'd dreamed,
D            A/Asus2        Em/Em7
Who wouldn't be the one you love.
D            A/Asus2           Em/Em7
Who wouldn't stand inside your love,
D         A/Asus2       Em/Em7
Protected and the lover of.


Bridge 2 (Riff Over):
G                      Bm    A
A pure soul and beauti-ful - you,
G
Don't understand, don't feel me now.
Bm              A
I will breathe, for the both of us.
G
Travel the world, traverse the skies,
Bm                 A
Your home is here, within my heart.


Verse 2:
    G       Bm
And for the first time,
D         A/Asus2     G          Bm
I feel as though I am reborn, in my mind,
D         A/Asus2          Em/Em7
Recast as child and mystic sage,
D            A/Asus2        Em/Em7
Who wouldn't be the one you love.
D            A/Asus2           Em/Em7
Who wouldn't stand inside your love.


Instrumental:
|D A/Asus2 Em/Em7|
|D A/Asus2 Em/Em7|
|D A/Asus2 Em/Em7|
|D A/Asus2 Em/Em7|


Verse 3:
    G       Bm
And for the first time,
D           A/Asus2      G          Bm
I'm telling you how much I need and bleed for.
D          A/Asus2         Em/Em7
Your every move and waking sound,
D                        A/Asus2                    Em/Em7
In my time, I'll wrap my wire around your heart and your mind,
D      A/Asus2      Em/Em7
You're mine forever now.


Coda:
D               A/Asus2              Em/Em7
Who wouldn't be the one you love and live for.
D            A/Asus2                    Em/Em7
Who wouldn't stand inside your love and die for,
D            A/Asus2        Em/Em7
Who wouldn't be the one you love.

Notes:
1. A couldn't find anything out there, that captures the complete song.
2. Billy Corgan stated in a TV performance (Storytellers on VH-1 in 2000 iirc) that this
was written for and about his then girlfriend, Yelena Yemchuk. The girl who appears in
the song's video.  Who also directed the video for 'Zero' and co-directed the video for 
'Thirty-three'. On the Greatest Hits DVD, Yelena appears on the alternate cut for
'Thirty-three'. Corgan split up with her around 2001/02.
