C1      :  [x35050]        C:  [x32010]
D1      :  [x57070]       Am:  [x02210]
D1sus   :  [x57080]       Em:  {0220xx]
Em1     :  [x79080]        D:  [xx0232]
(Slide from C1 to D*
D* is simply D1 - D1sus - D1
Sorry, I don't know the names of the chords)
[Verse]
C1                       D*
She calls me from the cold
                 C1                   D*
Just when I was low, feeling short of stable
C1                D*
All that she intends
                      C1                 D*
And all she keeps inside, isn't on the label
[Post-Chorus]
CShe says she's DashaEmmed
DCan sChe can take me for Da wEmhile
C1                 D*                    C  
And can I be a friend, we'll forget the past
                  D*
Or maybe I'm not able
         D1~
And I break at the bend
[Chorus]
EmWe're here aCnd Amnow, wDill we eCver be DagaEmin
AmCause I hDave fouCnd
       D  C~                                   C1
All that shimmers in this world is sure to fade
 D*    C1   D*
Away again
[Verse]
    C1                        D*
She dreams the champagne dream
            C1                           D*
Strawberry surprise, pink linen on white paper
C1             D*
Lavender and cream
              C1                  D*
Fields of butterflies, reality escapes her
[Pre-Chorus]
CShe says thDat lEmove is fDor foCols that Dfall beEmhind
C1                 D*
I'm somewhere in between
                 C1                      D*
I never really know A killer from a savior
      D1~
And I break at the bend
[Chorus]
EmWe're here aCnd Amnow, wDill we eCver be DagaEmin
AmCause I Dhave foCund
      D  C~                                   C1
