Caresses fleeced you in the morning light,

Am Am/B C D7 B C Am F#dim G#dim

casualties at dawn, and we did it all.

Bb9-5 C

Fab, long time ago when we was fab,

Bb7 F C

fab, you're my world you are my only love.

And while you're in this world

F Dm G C

the fuzz gonna come and claim you

F Dm G C

when the buzz gonna come and take you away,

Cm Fm C Cm F Ab6 C F G

take you away, take you away.

The microscopes that magnified the tears
