[Verses] FCEm Honey bee, she say I got too much sympathy. AmGF But I can call her anytime. CEm And if you're lost and you need a little peace from me, AmGF Bring all your trouble by… CEm Honey bee, how have I hurt you? AmGF C'mon tell your blues to me. CEm Maybe I should live up there in the curtains, AmGF On the wings of Mer-cur-y.
AEm I was fortunately desperate and turbulently innocent. FC I was living underneath my body weight. AEm My eyes were swollen green and hazy, sick from grief and hate and envy, FEm I was crawling up inside my head.
CGAm And all I seemed to find is that everything has chains. FGAm And all this life just feels like a series of dreams. CGF Selected poems and lovers I can't begin to name. CGC And all in all I find that nothing stays the same.
AmEm And I was crazy like the moon for you and head over my heels for you. FC And never would I change or compro-mise. AmEm But something in my mind does things I can't contain for anything. FEm Last night I don't think sleep even touched my eyes.
CGAm And all I seemed to find is that everything has chains. FGAm And all this life just feels like a series of dreams. CGF Selected poems and lovers I can't begin to name. CGC And all in all I find that nothing stays the same.

CGAm And all I seem to find is how everything has chains. FGAm And all my life just feels like an idiot dream. CGF Selected poems and lovers I never seen again. CGC And all in all I find that nothing stays the same.
