roaming lonely oversea
G          Em         C

(CHORUS)
G D/F#                              Em   C
I couldn't tell you enough that I'm sorry
G  D/F#                                 Em      C
oh you couldn't tell me enough that you loved me
                   G                 D/F#               Em     C
she's bringing the moon and stars to me, damn permanent reverie
                 G                  D/F#                            Em      C
even though this life, this love is brief, I've got some people who carry me
            G                               Em
it was near love soon as we knew each other properly
             C
living about half right till the certain person got to me
           G                                 Em
nothing is secret everything's sacred how it oughta be
          C
under the moonlight on a clear night on rooftops is where I wanna be
    G                                      Em
sometimes I'm like a child its something I cant release
            C
dreams of a coming home, sweet home I'm telling you home's so sweet
         G                               Em
said you reminded me of the summertime assuming that
     C
in a full moon I'm the only one she's smiling at
                 G                                Em
now wouldn't you let me know if you were thinking less of me
                C
that's what she asked me, what was promised what we both agreed
                  G                                 Em
truthfully if you ever go you'd drop me straight to hell the 7th circles
          C
and I was talking with you earlier we were open and vulnerable
                Em
it was wonderful   I
                               C                Em
                                         FP     
I used to dream that you would talk to me
                               C
I used to dream that you would talk to me
(CHORUS)
              G                                    D/F#                              Em     C
you know that feeling when you think your heart is gonna come right out through your shirt
          G                                 D/F#                       Em     C
it did it couple times a year but I've been getting it more often with her
         G                                    D/F#                           Em         C
when I'm face to face with death ill grab his throat and ask him how does it hurt
         G                              D/F#                       Em      C
in those golden moments growing old too quickly was he thinking of her
                      G                  D/F#               Em      C
and she's bringing the moon and stars to me, damn permanent reverie
                 G                  D/F#                            Em         C
even though this life, this love is brief, I've got some people who carry me
