[Intro]
G5  F#5
Freeze!
[Verse 1]
             Em
It's time to take you home

   B                    C                B                 Em
It feels so early but I promised I would bring you to your door

                 Em                      B
Now our lips are numb as we walk sharing warm alcohol

     C           B       Em
That kiss tastes like summer

                     Am                B
I hope you like the stars I stole for you

                     Em
One hundred million twinkle lights in neon blue

Am
I'll be the brightest someday

B
I'll be the brightest someday

C                            
I'll be the brightest you'll see
[Chorus]
      Em            B7
Don't rain on my parade

                       Cmaj7
It's gonna glow in the dark

                          B
I like it better when you can't keep warm

             Em               Am
It's time to ruin a perfect thing

            C
A perfect thing

               B7
The boy on the blue moon dreams of sun

Em B C B G5 F#5 G5 F#5 Em
(wildly screeching solo)
[Verse 2]
           Em              B
Now as the rain falls like shattered pieces of glass from the sky

C                              B
We bleed like water colors and drunken pastels down the stairways

Em                       B
And I ask myself, why do I still pray

             C
When will it end

                Em
And who fucking cares

           Am               Am
I swear to God I did what I could

              Em
I practically begged you

            B              Am
I pretended everything was fine

            Am                 Em
A soul sacrifice, an American nightmare

               B G5 F#5
I'd rather be dead
[Chorus]
      Em            B7
Don't rain on my parade

                       Cmaj7
It's gonna glow in the dark

                          B7
I like it better when you can't keep warm

      Em            B7
Don't ruin a perfect thing

            Am
A perfect thing

               F                                  Em
The boy on the blue moon hears a nightmare in his head
(rapidly decaying nonsense) [Verse 3]
Em
I'll bet you money as you're running to the bathroom

    B
You barely started drinking but your beauty never stopped you

    Em
You died in California by the sulfur and the sea

          B7
I guess I never should have loved you
But I do forever cause you loved me
Em                          
And I break my glasses as I fall in the street

                  B                             B7          
If you were gonna leave this world how could it be without me

         Am                              B
Now it's all over my tongue and still it has no taste

      Em
Cause without you there is no me
[Bridge] Em Am
C          B     Em
There's no me at all
[Bridge pt.2]
          C
Sometimes love

           B
(Sometimes love)

C    B
Love dies like

C     B
(Love dies like)

C        B
Dies like a

      C     B
(Dies like a)

     C    B      Em
Love dies like a dog

Am C   B
Aaaah, whoooaaah

                                                     G5 F#5
(Why don't we just let this one take care of itself?)
[Chorus]
      Em            B7
Don't rain on my parade

                       Cmaj7
It's gonna glow in the dark

                          B7
I like it better when you can't keep warm

      Em             B7
Don't ruin a perfect thing

            Am
A perfect thing

               B
The boy on the blue moon dreams...
[Outro]
      Em            B7      C          B7
Don't rain on my parade, oh whoah, oh no

    Em               B7
I'm losing a perfect thing

          C
A perfect thing

          G5 F#5 E5
A perfect thing

Am Em C B G5 F#5
