[Intro] C Amadd9 C Amadd9 [Verse 1]
C             Amadd9            G
 Came to light on a very hot day

                      G/F#                 F
The grass was sweating, you were sleeping in

                    Em
With the window open and the blanket breathing

C        Amadd9       
 Cigarette on a golden ashtray

G                    G/F#                   F
 Your golden hair lay in the swollen sun ray

                   Em
The withered roses hanging in the doorway
[Chorus]
C                     G                    Amadd9
 Don't wanna be right, don't wanna be let down

                  Em
Don't wanna fight, don't wanna pretend

F
 Formless secret

Am      G    Am      G
 Heavy bend,  heavy bend
[Verse 2]
C            Amadd9
 Second sight and the clouds above you

G                       G/F#
 As the wilderness grew thicker and the crow flеw

F                    Em
 Tossing and turning, your forehead burning
[Chorus]
C                      G                   Amadd9
 Don't wanna be right, don't wanna bе let down

                  Em
Don't wanna fight, don't wanna defend

F
 Formless secret

Am      G
 Heavy bend

C                       G                     Amadd9
 From the empty height, flies on the ceiling now

                       Em
I wanna hold you tight, don't wanna pretend

F
 Formless secret

Am      G    Am      G    Am      G
 Heavy bend,  heavy bend,  heavy bend
