Verse: "Latly i've been wishing i had one desire"

Ive seen alot of tabs for this song, and they all think either the chord has the 3 on the high e or just not at all,

use your pinky and hammer on at the end of it.

Chorus:

This is a pretty ackward chord change but its right.

On another note, there is another guitar playing the same chords, but playing them as arpeggios, you can do that by

yourself, or mix it up, or get another guitar player :D

Lyrics:

Lately i've been wishing i had one desire

Something that would make me never want another

Something that would make it so that nothing matters

All would be clear then, but i

Guess i'll have to settle for a few brief momments and

Watch it all dissolve into a single second

Try to write it down into a perfect sonnet

or one foolish line.

Cuz thats all that you'll get so you'll have to accect

you are here, then you're gone

But i believe that lovers should be tied together

And thrown into the ocean in the worst of weather

And left there to drown, in their innocence but

As for me im coming to the final chapter

I read all the pages and there is still no answer

Only all that was before i know must soon come after

That is the only way it can be

So i stand in the sun

And i breathe with my lungs

Trying to spare me the weight of the truth saying

Everything you have ever seen was just a mirror

And you've spent your whole life sweating in an endless fever

And now you are laying in a bathtub full of freezing water

Wishing you were a ghost

But once you knew a girl and younamed her lover

And danced with her in kitchens through the greenest summer

But autumn came, she disappeared

You can't remember where she said she was going to

But you know that she is gone because she left you a song

That you don't want to sing

Singing i believe that lovers should be chained together

And thrown into a fire with there songs and letters

And left there to burn, left there to burn in their arrogance

But as for me i'm coming to my final failure

I've killed myself with changes trying to make it better

But i still ended up becoming something other than

What i planned to be, alright.

Now i believe that lovers should be draped in flowers

And layed entwined together in a bed of clovers

And left there to sleep, left there to dream of their happiness.
