Misc Originals – Augustine Stuart - The Only Goodbye (Guitar)

C            G
I wanted to kiss you

C             Am      D
When we last parted ways.

C                   G                Am
And later when you sent that symptom list,

                  G
I'd think of that moment

      C          Am    D
That could have been a kiss.

C                G
And I know our characters

C        Am        D
Aren't always ourselves.

C            G                    Am
And as I've said before,I doubt that there's

          G
anything closer

       C        Am    D
Than writing my heart bare.

C                G           Am
And I don't know what I'd do without you.

C                       G Am C
And I'm not saying you're perfect,

             C
But in the shattering glass,

   G                  F
I gotta think you're perfect.

C                 G
And I know that perfection

C                  Am    D
Tries to kill the both of us.

C               G              Am
And you show me things about my mind

               G
that I'd just lived with,

   C       Am    D
And not wanted to find.

                Am
But I needed to know them.

C                G            Am
And I don't know what I'd do without you.

C                      G Am C
And I'm not saying I love you,

             C
But you called me sister,

   G                 F
And that is how I love you.

             C
And I idealize

   G                 F
And I realize and it scares me,

            C
But I love you.

C                 G               C Am
So I guess that this is just to say,

      C             G                     F
That if one day my mind it turns against you,

      C            G                   F
Or if one day my mind it turns against me,

C                   G
All the writing was worth it,

C               Am       D
All the teacups and the songs,

C            G              Am
And I symbolize and that is why

           G
It is so hard

 C       Am    D
When you say goodbye.

C               G
So I wanted to kiss you,

C       Am     D
When you said goodbye.

C           G                    Am
'Cause I am afraid that those I love

        G
Will leave me,

        C        Am      D
When they see what I'm made of.

C                G          Am
And I don't know what I'd do without you.

C         G Am C
My dearest friend,

       C
Who's seen my mind,

   G                    F
And yet still calls me sister.

C                 G            Am
And I don't know what I'd do without you.

C                  G Am C
So remember I love you,

          C
When our minds grow dark

   G                      F
And we forget that we have family,

             C
Remember I'm here.
