[Intro]
E
[Verse]
E5 E/Eb E5 C#m7
Here's to you, the same chords that I stole
B5 E5
From a song that I once heard
E/Eb E5 C#m7 B5
The same melody I borrowed from the void
E5 E/Eb E5 C#m7
I'd rather observe than structure a narrative
B5 E5 E/Eb E5 C#m7
The characters are thin; the plot does not develop
B5
It ends where it begins
[Interlude]
E C#m B (x2)
[Verse]
E5 E/Eb E5
It's on the screen, in paperbacks
C#m7 B5
In section 8 and cul-de-sacs
E5 E/Eb E5
Electro haikus and drunk sonnets
C#m7 B5 A E
Are moving me along. Along.
E A E A
One, two, three, four!
[Chorus]
E
You cut my hair
G#m B
You left red ink everywhere
A
Do my hands tell a story?
B
Is it boring?
E
You cut my hair
G#m B
You left red ink everywhere
A
Do my hands tell a story?
B E5 E/Eb E5 C#m7 B5
Is it boring you?
[Verse]
E5 E/Eb E5
What I'd give to force your sigh
C#m7 B5
What I'd give to see you cry
E5 E/Eb E5
What I'd give for your caress
C#m7
To see your blue cotton dress
B7 E5
Balled up on the floor
E/Eb E5 C#m7
Certain memories are the problem
B5 E5
Certain drunken lines are the shame
E/Eb E5 C#m7
Seven hundred miles and four years
B5 A
I can't fight the flame; it burns.
A
And it burns and it burns and it burns.
[Chorus]
E
You cut my hair
G#m B
You left red ink everywhere
A
Do my hands tell a story?
B
Is it boring?
E
You cut my hair
G#m B
You left red ink everywhere
A
Do my hands tell a story?
B E
Is it boring you?
[Outro]
B C#m E
Was I wishing on satellites?
B C#m E
Tell me how you've been doing that trick
B C#m E
I'm just wishing the flame away
B C#m E
Now I'm wishing the flame away.
