[Part I]

[INTRO]
D - D/C# - D/G - D/C# D/C#

D                              D/B
Oh, woman, tell me what you want
        D/A        D/G
And I'll calm down without bleeding out
            D                                  D/A
With a broken heart that you stabbed for an hour
D                                  D/B                 D/A             D/G
Woman, I was freaking out because I want you to know
D                                     D/A
My beloved, you are the lover of my impossible soul

D                                               D/B                     D/A      D/G
Woman, too, promise me you'll stay and put off all your woes
           D
I was wigging out, too much worry
                   D/A
I could not get you at all
        D                            D/B
And you said what you want, you would laugh it off
                  D/A           D/G
But I know you won't go, not for it at last
                D                            D/A
Must you write it off for the impossible soul?
        D                                            D/B                             D/A       D/G
And I was in a dream, I was gone away without you, but not too slow
           D                                                   D/A
Lest I put it off, for I put it right for the impossible soul

        Em                D                           Bm        C
And all I couldn't sing, I would say it all, my life, to you
G              A
If I could get you at all
G                                              Bm                       A
Don't be a wreck, trying to be something that I wasn't at all

(verse vamp solo x2)
D                                                      D/B                     D/A        D/G
Seems I got it wrong, I was chasing after something that was gone
            D                                                               D/A
To the black of night, now I know it's not what I wanted at all
        D                                                              D/B
And you said something like, "All you want is all the world for yourself"
              D/A             D/G
But all I want is the perfect love
                D                                  D/A
Though I know it's small, I want love for us all

        Em                D                            Bm       C
And all I couldn't sing, I would say it all, my life, to you
G              A                     G
If I could get you at all
                      Bm                        A
Trying to be something that I wasn't at all

[Part II]
G                       Bm
Do you want to be afraid?
A                       C#m
Do you want to be afraid?
       G#m                            Em                            Bm
For life in the cage where courage's mate runs deep in the wake
             A                                   E
For the scariest things are not half as enslaved

C                              F
Don't be distracted, don't be distracted
G                       Bm
Do you want to be alone?
F#m                   C#m
Do you want to be alone?
       G#m                        Em
For life isn't stained of righteousness pain
       Bm                               A                                    E
The seed and the hail, all impossible flights for an interesting light

C                               F
Don't be distracted, don't be distracted
G                        Bm
Do you want to love me more?
F#m                   Bm
Do you want to love me more?
       G#m
For love is the breath
    Em
If water and wave
     Bm                                             A
Is cursed by the same thing that nurtured its shame
        E
Is it worth all the work?

C                               F
Don't be distracted, don't be distracted
E                            G
Have you failed to feel delight? (No, I don't want to feel pain)
Bbm                       A
Have you failed to feel delight? (No, I don't want to feel pain)
     C                                C#m                              Em
Instead of the life, lived tired and lost, have you left it at last
                F#m                                        C#m
Where it floundered its death with the language of ghosts
