E5Thanks for the icing on the cake
E5But it came just a little too late
E5It's all my fault
E5My heart's locked up in a vault
E5And thanks for the trip around the moon
E5Sorry it had to end so soon
E5I couldn't breathe
    A*                 B
And air is something I need
I've had a Egreat F#mnight
I've had a C#mgreat Anight
EBut this wasn't F#Mit, oh C#mno
This wasn't Ait
I've had a Egreat F#mnight
I've had a C#mgreat Anight
