Emadd9 D6add4

It's not perfect but it's

Emadd9 D6add4

From the first take it's the

Emadd9 D6add4 A#6 Csus2

One that I did with you here

[Verse 2]

Emadd9 D6add4

It seems careless that I

Emadd9 D6add4

Shouldn't care less but it's

Emadd9 D6add4 A#6 Csus2

The only noise I have of yours

[Verse 3]

Emadd9 D6add4

I'm so tired because

Emadd9 D6add4

You'd been so fired up and

Emadd9 D6add4 A#6 Csus2

There was no keeping up with you

[Verse 4]

Emadd9 D6add4

It's no triumph I knew

Emadd9 D6add4

I was for the high jump but I

Emadd9 D6add4 A#6 Csus2

Delighted in my best mistake

[Chorus]

Emadd9 D6add4 Fmaj7

I only thought of me

Emadd9 D6add4 Fmaj7

I only thought of me

Emadd9 D6add4 Fmaj7

And now you're all I see

Emadd9 D6add4 Fmaj7

Now you're all I see

[Verse 5]

Emadd9 D6add4

Reading backwards I see

Emadd9 D6add4

Where the attack was which in

Emadd9 D6add4 A#6 Csus2

Real time came out of the blue

[Verse 6]

Emadd9 D6add4

It's a weakness that I

Emadd9 D6add4

Love this bleakness over

Emadd9 D6add4 A#6 Csus2

Any constant happiness

[Chorus]

Emadd9 D6add4 Fmaj7

Shake me out of this

Emadd9 D6add4 Fmaj7

Take me out of this

Emadd9 D6add4 Fmaj7

Carry me with love

Emadd9 D6add4 Fmaj7

Bury me in love
