Eb
Uh-oh, my story's not

    Cm
The oldest of its kind

        Gm
I was too touched to see you clearly

                Bb
Far too young to realize

Eb
I, I had loved so dearly

     Cm
You, whose world I had designed

             Gm
But the sweet smoke came with mirrors

                        Bb
And it brought tears to my wide eyes
[Pre-Chorus]
Ab            Bb
Dying just to see you

Ab            Bb
Dying since I misconstrued
[Chorus]
     Eb          Bb
Your blue heart, black eyes

Ab               Cm      Bb
Fading, falling, words I won't forget

Eb            Bb    Ab
I died right when I saw you

        Cm          Bb
While you shared that cigarette
[Solo] Eb Cm Gm Bb [Verse]
Eb
Uh-oh I saw you

      Cm
Every time I closed my eyes,

       Gm
In the Hughes film I had scored,

                        Bb
Produced and starred in, in my mind.

Eb
I could recite you,

          Cm
Well, I'd written every line

        Gm
But you strayed far from my flawless script

                    Bb
On which I'd spent a lifetime
[Pre-Chorus]
Ab           Bb
Falling over dead

Ab            Bb
Dying since I had misread
[Chorus]
     Eb          Bb
Your blue heart, black eyes

Ab               Cm      Bb
Fading, falling, words I won't forget

Eb            Bb    Ab
I died right when I saw you

        Cm          Bb
While you shared that cigarette
