Dm Bbmaj7 Bbmaj7 C6

You quiver like a candle on fire,

I'm putting you out,

Bbmaj7 Bbmaj7 C6

Maybe tonight we could be the last shout,

Dm Bbmaj7 Bbmaj7 C6

But I'm fascinated by your style,

Dm Bbmaj7 Bbmaj7 C6

Your beauty will last for a while.

Dm Bbmaj7 Bbmaj7 C6

You're feeling instead of being.

Dm Bbmaj7

The more that I live on the inside,

Bbmaj7 C6

There's nothing to give.

Dm Bbmaj7 Bbmaj7 C6

I'm infatuated by your moves,

Dm Bbmaj7 Bbmaj7 C6

I've got to search hard for your clues.

Dm Bbmaj7 Bbmaj7 C6

I want to repair your desire.

And call it a gift,

Bbmaj7 Bbmaj7 C6

That I stole from just wanting to live.

Dm Bbmaj7 Bbmaj7 C6

Now I see the vision thru your eyes,

Dm Bbmaj7 Bbmaj7 C6

Your innocence no longer fuels... surprise.

Dm Bbmaj7 Bbmaj7 C6

Dm Bbmaj7 Bbmaj7 C6

Trying to outrun your fears,

You're running to lose,

Bbmaj7

Heart on your sleeve and

Bbmaj7 C6

Your soul in your shoes.

Dm Bbmaj7

Take a left, a sharp left,

Bbmaj7 C6

And another left.

Dm Bbmaj7

Meet me on the corner,

Bbmaj7 C6

We'll start... again.

Dm Bbmaj7 Bbmaj7 C6
