[Intro]
Amaj7 Gmaj7 x3
[Verse 1]
Amaj7 Gmaj7 You once asked me what I wanted out of life Amaj7 E7sus Well, I guess it’s just the life of laughter and smiles, E7sus To be Cinderella-man for a while Amaj7 Gmaj7 But there’s so many miles I got to go Dmaj7 E7sus You once asked me what I wanted out of life Amaj7 E7sus Well, I guess it’s just the white, white of a light when you love me all night Amaj7 Gmaj7 But this is brightness so dazzling my head must turn Gmaj7 Amaj7 You know my head must turn
[Midtro]
G A x2
[Chorus]
Fmaj7 G Things are better in the East, they say Fmaj7 G For a poet and his fevers Fmaj7 G A fellow with all those fancy words, Fmaj7 G His heartbreak and his favors
[Verse 2]
Amaj7 E7sus I feel like a little white kitten reborn Amaj7 Gmaj7 I’m very fond of fog, but my sight is torn Amaj7 E7sus I’d like to remember it just like this if I can : Amaj7 Gmaj7 The rain, the fog, and the kiss you send G6 Aadd9 You know I love you, just like you always wanted
[Chorus]
Fmaj7 G I could protect you from the bells in the city Fmaj7 G I was raised with forget-me-nots in my hair Fmaj7 G Even if it ain’t true, won’t you please take me with you ? Fmaj7 G You’ve got moon on your side over there
[Versend]
Amaj7 E7sus Hey, Lady Swan. Whatcha doin' here ? Amaj7 Gmaj7 How am I gonna write if you don’t live anywhere ? Amaj7 E7sus Just caught a flash of lightning as it photographed the sky G6 Aadd9 You don’t mind. Oh my. Oh my.
