The Airborne Toxic Event - All these engagements

They ^Fsay it’s so much better to have loved and lost Than to have ^Bblived in a bubble, never knowing the cost Of a ^Dmbroken heart like a loaded gun It scares ^Ceveryone, everyone, everyone, everyone ^FTells me the same thing every day: "You’re ^Bbwasting your time, just wasting away" "There’s a ^Dmhole in your heart, just go fill it with love" But ^Cwhat is love? What is love? What is love? What is...

This ^Bbthing I’ve been told, since ^Cthirteen years-old Where you ^Dmfeel understood, unde^Dmniably good It’s a ^Bbstain on your sneaker, a ^Chole in your speaker A ^Dmfeeling apart when you’ve ^Dmemptied your heart She’s at the ^Bbupstairs windowpane ^C As the ^Dmyoung boy cries in the ^Dmrain She’ll ^Bbnever know the power she ^Cwields As the ^Dmthunder falls on his ea^Dmrs And he ^Bbtells himself "^CNever a^Fgain "

^FAll these engagements and lovers' spit As they ^Bbgrasp at a future and promise it Will Be ^Dmjoyful and fruitful, we’re better as two And ^CI cried too, I cried too, I cried too, I cried ^FHoping you’d hear me and see right through All the ^Bbendless denial I gave to you I was ^Dmchildishly hoping you'd pull me through I ^Cwant it too, want it too, want it too, want it

To ^Bbchange me and lift me, ex^Cplain me and give me A ^Dmmoment of time, less a^Dmlone in my mind When ^BbI felt so strange, you would ^Chold me and say "I'm ^Dmstranger than you can i^Dmmagine. It's true" "And I'm ^Bbyours, and I'm yours, and I'm ^Chere" "And I ^Dmswear there’s nothing to fea^Dmr" So the ^Bbyoung woman lies on the ^Cbed While the ^Dmyoung man hears lies in his ^Dmhead And there's ^Bbno one there and nothing left ^C To be ^Fsaid
