[Verse 1]
    AmShe'll read your mind
She's sDm7mart as a whip
    AmShe'll suck you dry
But loDm7ok at how much I drip?
  GAt the point of ecstasy
      E7/G#I write a symphony
Of pAmoetry in motion
And leavin' me there to die
[Verse 2]
   AmI tell myself let nDm7o one take her place
   AmTo confide in someone
And lDm7ook at how much I paid?
  GI want you next to me
      E7/G#Call it telepathy
We dAmrifted into vision
And look at how much we see?
