[Verse 1]
C
Lately I've been wishing I had one desire
Em
Something that would make me never want another
Am
Something that would make it so that nothing matters
Db
All would be clear then 
           C
bt I guess I'll have to settle for a few brief moments and
Em
Watch all dissolve into a single second
Am
And try to write it down into a perfect sonnet
Db
Or one foolish line

[Pre-Chorus]
F                               G                    Am             Db
Cause that's all that you'll get so you'll have to accept
F                                           G
You are here and then you're gone

[Chorus]
C
But I believe that lovers should be tied together and
Em
Thrown into the ocean in the worst of weather and
Am                                                                      Db
Left there to drown, left there to drown in their innocence but
C
As for me I'm coming to the final chapter
Em
I read all of the pages and there is still no answer
Am
Only all that was before i know must soon come after
Db
That is the only way it can be

[Bridge]
F                         G
So I stand in the sun
Am                                 Db
And I breathe with my lungs
F                                  G                                Am
Trying to spare myself the weight of the truth saying

[Verse 2]
C
Everything you have ever seen was just a mirror
        Em
And you've spent your whole life sweating in an endless fever
                                     Am
And now you are laying in a bathtub full of freezing
            Db
Water wishing you were a ghost
C
But once you knew a girl and you named her lover
Em
And danced with her in kitchens through the greenest
                     Am
Summer but autumn came, she disappeared
                                                   Db
You don't remember where she said she was going to

[Pre-Chorus 2] 
               F                       G
But you know that she is gone 
                        Am       Db
because she left you a song
F                                  G
That you don't want to sing

[Chorus 2]
                C
Singing I believe that lovers should be chained together
Em
And thrown into a fire with their songs and letters
Am                                                                          Db
And left there to burn, left there to burn in their arrogance
C
But as for me I'm coming to my final failure
Em
I've killed myself with changes trying to make it better
           Am
But I still ended up becoming something other than
Db
What I had planned to be

C Em Am Db

[Outro]
              C
Now I believe that lovers should be draped in flowers
      Em
And layed entwined together on a bed of clover
Am
And left there to sleep,
                                               Db
left there to dream of their happiness
