Bright Eyes – A Perfect Sonnet (Ukulele)

C       
lately i've been wishing i had one desire

Em
something that would make me never want another

Am
something that would make it so that nothing matters

C
guess i'll have to settle for a for a few brief

Em
watch all dissolve into a single second

    Am
and try to write it down into a perfect sonnet

            F               G             Am
cauz that's all that you'll get so you'll have to 

        F                    G
you are here and then you're gone

    C
but i believe that lovers should be tied together and

Em
thrown into the ocean in the worst of weather and 

Am
left there to drown, left there to drown

C
as for me i'm coming to the final chapter

  Em
i read all of the pages and there is still no answer

Am
only all that was before i know must soon come after

     F            G
so i stand in the sun

      Am          D(b5)sus2              
and i breathe with my lungs

          F                G                 (Am)
trying to spare myself the weight of the truth

C
everything you have ever seen was just a mirror

           Em
and you've spent your whole life sweating in an

                Am
and now you are laying ina bathtum full of freezing 

    C
but once you knew a girl and you named her lover

    Em
and danced with her in kitchens through the greenest 

           Am
summer but autumn came, she disappeared

        F                G                Am
but you know that she is gone because she left you a 

         F             G
that you don't want to sing

        C   
singing i believe that lovers should be chained

    Em      
and thrown into a fire with their songs and letters

    Am
and left there to burn, left there to burn in their 

    C
but as for me i'm coming to my final failure

     Em
i've killed myself with changes trying to make it

            Am
but i still ended up becoming something other than 

    C      
now i believe that lovers should be draped in flowers

    Em
and layed entwined together on a bed of clover

    Am
and left there to sleep, left there to dream of their
