Play each chord for one measure (4 beats).

A dash (-) indicates to keep playing the same chord.

Build up with E for two measures, then.

Intro Chords:

E C#m E D (2x)

Verse 1:

E -

This is our story.

C#m G#m

It's a short one, but it's a

F#m -

Hard harsh read.

B

Between the lines, a little aching need.

E -

We're a strange arrangement;

C#m G#m

No strings.

F#m -

But the music we make is

B

Serpentine and bittersweet.

E -

In my youth, you know,

C#m G#m

I loved you like gangbusters.

F#m

Now I watch you fall.

B

Twisting, turning, growing small.

E - C#m

You're a roomful of sorrow,

G#m

A spoonful of joy

F#m

Another infidelity

B

Another pain, another golden glitter boy.

Chorus:

A G#m

IiiiiiiiiiiiiIiiiiiiiiii

C#m -

I want you. I know it's crazy,

B

But I really want to leave you, too.

A G#m

IiiiiiiiiiiiiIiiiiiiiiii

C#m B

I want you. Boy, oh boy, you bring me joy

And then you make me blue.

With intro chords:

I love to love you; I'm a fool.

You're callous and you're cold,

And oh, so cruel.

Verse 2:

I'm starting to forget things.

Faces, names.

Games played, plans laid.

Surely, there were promises made.

Good love is easy to find,

But it's hard to keep.

And though I hate it when you wake,

I still love to watch you sleep.

Chorus.

Repeat intro chords 4x during break.

Using chorus chords 1x through:

Oooooooh,Ooooooooooh,Oooooooooooooh

Verse 3:

Remember the early days

When nickels were dimes,

And a dollar took us everywhere.

I don't think I ever combed my hair.

Is this our story?

Is this where the loving starts?

In the stillness, the staring,

The hardening of hearts?

We're a strange arrangement;

No strings.

This is not my place, these are not my things.

It's not my way, the pain love brings.

Chorus. (repeat with vocal embellishments)

End on E.
