GFeels Flike we've Cnever been apDart
GSeems Flike Cyou are my skin of Dsupple leather
GSeems Flike your Cblood pumps through my Dheart
GSeems Flike Cyou and me are Done another
GFeels Flike we Ccouldn't be unD-joined
GSeems Flike I Cam your sister, Dyou're my brother
GFeels Flike a Cphrase yet to be Dcoined

Bridge:
But maybe there's something that could never be foreseen
A fragile thing that rusts inside our finely honed machine

Verse 3:
 G/  F/  C/ D  
Seems like a letter written to a cover
Feels like a note I'll never send
