I was upset that it wasn't already up here in completion, so I got the whole thing
down and decided to share it because I love all of your faces. :D
Our love is Edead but without limit,
like the Asurface of the moon
or the Eland between here and the mouB7ntains.
Well, it iEs not these hiding places
that have kAept us innocent
but the way you taEught me to just letB7 it all go by.E
And so we've leEarned to be as faithless,
stand bAehind bulletproof glass,
exchangingE our affections through a drB7awer.
And it was always hoErribly convenient
and hAappening too fast.
You should count your chEange before you're eveB7n out the door. E
Yes, you should but please...
AReturn, return to the Eperson that you were.
And C#mI will do theB same
cause it is tooA hard to belong to Esomeone who is gone.
F#mMy compass spins. The Awilderness remains. E
EOnce too often, I have retreated
into the Adepths of my despair.
I built aE barricade to block you on the B7road.
I was standing there with alEl of my possessions
Apiled higher than a house,
I felt Ecloser to you than you B7ever would have known. E
ESo let each tiny acts of charity
be common grAound on which to build
the Emonument that will commemorate our timesB7.
And though, you swEear you've found another
who will surely Aspeed you on your way,
don't let the forEest grow over that pB7ath you came there by. E
But you will, so...
ASo hurry up and run to the oEne that you love.
C#mAnd blind him with yourB kindness.
And he'll make wAar, old war, on who you were beEfore.
And claim aF#mll that has Aspoiled in your hearEt.
ENow, I tell myself I've mended
under these pAatches of blue sky.
There are still aE few holes that let in a little raB7in.
And it's been Ecrying on my shingles.
My floorboards mAoan under my feet.
The refrigerator isE whining, so I've gotB7 reason to complainE.
EBut I am not gonna bless you with such compliments,
some dAegrading psalm of praise,
like theE kind that converted you to me so long agB7o.
Because the trEuth is that gossip's as good as goAspel in this town.
You can save your faEce but you won't everB7 save your soul. E
Baby that's a fact.
So hurry uAp and run to the oEne that you love.
And C#mtie him up in yourB likeness,
And he'll Abecome, become the prEisoner I was.
And know alF#ml that has sApoiled in yourE heart.
And know alF#ml that has sApoiled in yourE heart.
So hurry uAp and run to the oEne that you love.
And bC#mlind him with yourB kindness.
And he'll Amake war, old war, on wEho you were before.
And claim aF#mll that has Aspoiled in youEr heart.
Yeah, he'llF#m claim all tAhat has spoileEd in your heart.
