(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 FP Em
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
