[Intro] C [Verse 1]

  C
A wishbone hangs between your breasts

I hope you haven't pulled it yet

       G
and if this little finger doesn't have the strength

then I'm scared that this bird's backbone breaks [Chorus]

          F                 C
It's only hope that springs eternal

    F                 C
and that's the reason why

     F                C
this drippin' from my broken heart

     F             C
it's never runnin' dry

[Verse 2]

  C
I wear a ring of your lipstick

around the knuckle of my fourth digit

  G
reminds me what our bodies sowed,

it will do until we are betrothed [Chorus]

          F                 C
It's only hope that springs eternal

    F                 C
and that's the reason why

     F                C
this drippin' from my broken heart

     F             C
it's never runnin' dry

[Verse 3]

    C
The space between your navel

And your waistband was the ice

      G
Where two fingers pirouette but

Now these hangnails they just slice [Chorus]

          F                 C
It's only hope that springs eternal

    F                 C
and that's the reason why

     F                C
this drippin' from my broken heart

     F             C
it's never runnin' dry

[Break] C [Bridge 1]

     Dm                     Em
your tongue, the tide, your lips, the shore

  F             Am
I am the jetsam overboard

        G
goodbye courage

[Break] C [Bridge 2]

  Dm               Em
I christen all the ships that sail

        F              Am
on your little kisses' saliva trails,

        G
goodbye courage

hello sadness again

F        C        Dm        C
oooooh,  ooooh,   oooh,     ohhh

Am G Dm Am

F              C                  Dm               C
Little kisses, come to pass then, goodbye courage, hello sadness

[Chorus]

          Am
It's only hope that springs eternal

    G
and that's the reason why

     Dm
this drippin' from my broken heart

     Am
it's never runnin' dry

          F
It's only hope that springs eternal

    C
and that's the reason why

     Dm
My broken heart it's never runnin' dry

[Verse 4]

C
Now that those four fingers gone

you leave me only with my thumb

G
that constantly is pointing down

the emperor bears teeth not frowns [Chorus]

          F                 C
It's only hope that springs eternal

    F                 C
and that's the reason why

     F                C
this drippin' from my broken heart

     F             C
it's never runnin' dry
