EbCaveosapian, you were made for the breaking of my Bbback
And caveEbosapian, you were made for the breaking of my Bbback
As I caFmrried you past quiet houses, kicking through the roses in the yAbard
I spied the wilCmdflower kisses on your neck
I saw the gBbarden had been trampled past repair
Oh caveoEbsapian

And you lEbook like the sunrise
Purple, lemon, baby blue, and gBbold
But I kEbnew it sounded bad when you said "no regrets" and then said nothing mBbore
And while you're leFmaning deep into the smoke of those two sticks you keep rubbing together
I keep thiAbnking about how bad it's gonna burn
And all the people I've lEboved back hBbome
Oh I've lCmoved and lAbove
That you tuCmrned on 
People just offering shelter from the wind
So Abbow your head into the wBbind

As I carried you past quiet houses, kicking through the roses in the yard

I spied the wildflower kisses on your neck

I saw the garden had been trampled past repair

Oh caveosapian

And you look like the sunrise

Purple, lemon, baby blue, and gold

Eb Bb

But I knew it sounded bad when you said "no regrets" and then said nothing more

And while you're leaning deep into the smoke of those two sticks you keep rubbing together

I keep thinking about how bad it's gonna burn

Eb Bb

And all the people I've loved back home

Cm Ab

Oh I've loved and love

That you turned on

People just offering shelter from the wind

So bow your head into the wind

My caveosapian
