[Intro]
C Am C Am
[Verse 1]
C Am Dm A
you deserve a song so long it plays behind the hurt
Dm G C Am
beyond the tears, beyond the courtesy of elementary melodies
Dm G
and chord progressions much like these
C Em Am Em
to love and be loved
[Hook 1]
C Am Dm A
who’d have thought it’d be so mysterious?
Dm G C Am
it would be painful without bruises and subject to who chooses
Dm G C Am C Am
to pull the plug and hope that no one sinks
[Verse 2]
C Am Dm A
you deserve a song so long it plays beyond the fade
Dm G C Am
beyond the place where all our memories repeat into eternity
Dm G C Em Am Em
preserving them so bittersweet, for better or worse
[Hook 2]
C Am Dm A
what’s the harm in a little disillusion?
Dm G C Am
a little rosy hue and a drink to see it through
Dm G C Am C Am
to separate my logic from my ways
[Bridge]
Dm C Am C Am
I can and I will move on
Dm C Am C Am
you can and you will move on
[Outro]
C Am Dm A Dm G
you deserve a song so long and crafted with hands of love and capability
C Am
so I’ll retire, I’ll keep it brief
Dm G C Am C Am
admiring you lovingly, so long
C Am C Am
