Spanish Love Songs - Vermont

You told me h^Aappiness is just a moment From the s^Dteps of your Victorian apartment We sat outs^Aide The air was broken and summer was b^F#marging in ^E The homeless lady p^Aushed her shopping carts And your neighbors played m^Dariachi music until 4 am You s^Aaid, "When this one passes I should probably w^F#malk away." ^E "Because I'm gonna l^Bmeave you the first chance I g^Det I'm a bl^Aack hole, I'm empty and dead You can c^Bmarve your name in stone ^D But it's just not p^Aermanent."

But you ^F#mtold me you think you lo^Eved me When you co^Allapsed on the floor of your r^Doom After you ^F#mtold me to leave In that m^Eoment I realized I was s^Aure I loved you too

So now I'm always ^Aputting out fires with my bare hands Until two b^Dlack stumps are all that remain I don't t^Ahink my feeble heart's enough To b^F#mlanket these growing f^Elames You can d^Arop me at the hospital I'll O^DD on morphine and dream about you As my^A heart seizes one more time bef^F#more you go, and ^Ego Then I'll p^Bmrobably wake up al^Done and be alone fore^Aver With an i^Bmtch on my back that I c^Dannot scratch In the sh^Aape of your heart forever

Cause everybody l^F#meaves ^E Everybody le^Aaves eventually ^D Everybody b^F#mreaks Bends too l^Eate Nobody's ha^Appy You'll never be h^F#mappy this time^E When it's your he^Aart on the line ^D So take a s^F#mtep back who would ever w^Eant to fall in love? ^A

Now ^Dit all plays out and the w^Eay you call me "b^Aabe" ^ADies with every other nickname ^DI have so many n^Eicknames I can't keep track anymore I'll bury them in b^Dourbon and half-smoked c^Eigarettes As we c^Aome ^A/G#to an e^F#mnd ^E Or to an u^Dnderstanding I don't w^Eant to understand ^A

Cause everybody l^F#meaves ^E Everybody le^Aaves eventually ^D Everybody b^F#mreaks Bends too l^Eate Nobody's ha^Appy You'll never be h^F#mappy this time^E When it's my he^Aart on the line ^D "If I can't l^F#move you, why would you e^Ever love me back? ^A "If I can't l^F#move you, why would you e^Ever love me back? ^A I don't know how to l^F#move you anymore So p^Elease don't love me ba^Ack."
