[Intro]
E
[Verse]
Here's to yE5ou, the E/Ebsame choE5rds that I sC#m7tole
From a sB5ong that I once hE5eard
The sameE/Eb melodE5y I boC#m7rrowed from the void B5
I'd rather obsE5erve than sE/Ebtructure E5a narraC#m7tive
The cB5haracters are tE5hin; the E/Ebplot does E5not devC#m7elop
It eB5nds where it begins
[Interlude]
E C#m B (x2)
[Verse]
It's E5on the screen, inE/Eb paperbE5acks
In C#m7section 8 and cB5ul-de-sacs
ElE5ectro haikus and E/Ebdrunk sonE5nets
Are C#m7moving me alB5ong. AlAong. E
EOne, two, three, four!A E A
[Chorus]
You Ecut my hair
You left G#mred ink everywhBere
Do my hands tell a stAory?
Is it bBoring?
You Ecut my hair
You left G#mred ink everywhBere
Do my hands tell a stAory?
Is it bBoring you?E5 E/Eb E5 C#m7 B5
[Verse]
What I'd gE5ive to E/Ebforce your sE5igh
What I'd C#m7give to sB5ee you cry
What I'd gE5ive for E/Ebyour caE5ress
To see your C#m7blue cotton dress
B7Balled up on the floor E5
Certain E/EbmemorE5ies are the pC#m7roblem
Certain dB5runken lines are the shE5ame
E/EbSeven hE5undred C#m7miles and four years
I cB5an't fight the flame; it buArns.
AAnd it burns and it burns and it burns.
[Chorus]
You Ecut my hair
You left G#mred ink everywhBere
Do my hands tell a stAory?
Is it bBoring?
You Ecut my hair
You left G#mred ink everywhBere
Do my hands tell a stAory?
Is it bBoring you?E
[Outro]
BWas I C#mwishing on sEatellites?
BTell me C#mhow you've been dEoing that trick
BI'm just wC#mishing the flEame away
BNow I'm wiC#mshing the fElame away.
