CAPO 2
This way of playing in the key of A is a lot like the way most people play in the
key of E. I "invented" it, but I'm sure there've been countless people who've
already been playing it in this manner.

I lEisten to the F#msirens as they sDing me back to sleep

I lEisten to the F#msirens tell me tDhings could still be worse
[Pre-Chorus]
Cause if you cDlose your eyes and lEisten close
F#mYou can hear the cAhapter close
And its aDll rebound in bEetter clothes
And you F#mlike the way this sAtory goes
Cause the sDun still burns the shEadows out
And there's nF#mothing to compC#mlain about nDow
[Chorus]
Cause if tDhis was our destiny I'd trEeasure the fact
And F#mI'd give you whats left of me if ID'd held back
But DI don't need a soEul
No F#mI don't need a soul to hDold
WithoDut you I'm still whEole
You and lF#mife remain beauDtiful
[Verse 2]
DepEarting from the hF#mospital
Ill nDews shows on your face too well
You're tErying not to coF#mugh at all it huDrts
All oEptions are exhF#mausted all your nuDmbered days are numbered small
I mEiss you now, I lF#moved you
And I know thDings could still be worse
