Olympia - This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things
[Intro]
Bm F#m Bm F#m
[Verse 1]
Bm D
This quiet piece of heaven
Bm D A
Birds cut circles out of sky
Bm D
Below, boredom gets her bitch on
Bm D A
The trash, the treasure, white noise
[Chorus 1]
D F#m
Every time we meet we fall
D F#m A A
Every time we meet we fall apart
Bm D
(apart) Falling apart like apples in pieces
Bm D A
(apart) Running away like watercolour stains
Bm D
(apart) Falling apart like distant lovers
Bm D A
(apart) Flown away like paper bags in the rain
[Verse 2]
Bm D
And I tied all these memories
Bm D
Stacked like semi-precious jewels
Bm D
Painted by little forest fire
Bm D A
What were we but tapioca pearls?
[Chorus 1]
D F#m
Every time we meet we fall
D F#m A A
Every time we meet we fall apart
Bm D
(apart) Falling apart like apples in pieces
Bm D A
(apart) Running away like watercolour stains
Bm D
(apart) Falling apart like distant lovers
Bm D A
(apart) Flown away like paper bags in the rain

Bsus2 Bm C
I saw you on the street
G6 C
I saw you drop her hand
Em G6 C
Still a goddam spark would light cigarettes
Em G6
Lucky Rome was built on misspelt tattoos
C
I’ll get over you
C D
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
[Chorus 2]

‘Cause every time we meet we fall
D F#m A
Every time we meet we fall apart
A D F#m
(every time we meet) Every time we meet we fall
D F#m A
Every time we meet we fall apart
A Bm D
(‘cause every time we meet) Falling apart like apples in pieces
Bm D A
(apart) Running away like watercolour stains
