Intro: D - Em (x3)
D
You kissed me on the forehead
Em
Now these kisses give me consussion
D
We were love at first sight
Em
Now this crush is crushing
F#m Em
I retraced your steps through the city of romance lazily
F#m
I took to the desert with your harshest words
Em
And they saved me
D Em
I'll bail you out again; I've got the readies
D Em
I'm not a child; I know we're not going steady
F#m
Your pain's gigantic
Em
But not as big as your ego
F#m
I promise not to abandon you
Em
Please let me go
Interlude:
D - Em (x2)
D
I harbored worried feelings
Em
Like they were worth protecting
D
You say I'm too kind and sentimental
Em
Like you could catch affection
F#m
In your eyes there's a sadness enough
Em
To kill the both of us
F#m
Are those eyes overrated?
Em
They make me want to give up on love
D
I'll brace myself for the loneliness
Em
Say hello to feeling that I detest
D
This maudlin carrer must come to an end
Em
I don't want to be sad again
D
This maudlin career must come to an end
Em
I don't want to be sad again
D
This maudlin career must come to an end
Em
I don't want to be sad again
