[G] [Em] [G]
[Em] [G]
There's just [Em] one [G] thing [D] before [G] I go
You are [Em] the [D] sweetest [A] boy [G] I know
I've [Em] lived my whole [Cm] life [D] in [G] the past
[Em] I woke [D] last night [G] at last
[Em] [G]
I thought I'd finally won
[Em] That [G] forever never part
[Em] In sweet [G] love we will grow
I'm [Bm] just [Em] a [D] scavenger in [G] the cold
I'm [Em] just a [D] scavenger
[G] All [Em] I can [G] do is wish you well
[Em] Like the [G] bonfire in hell
Honey, [Em] you [G] hurt me bad this time
I'm burning everything I find
Ooooooh
Ooooooh
[A]
[D]
[G] Ooooooh
You hurt me bad this time You [Em] nearly tore [C] me [G] from my mind
Before I knew I had been hurt She laid her hair across your shirt
She laid her hair All I [Em] can [G] do is wish you well
I'd light the bonfire, the whole house [Em] Just one [G] thing before I go
You are the sweetest boy I know [D] You [Em] are the [G] sweetest boy
If there's a sun, I'll watch it rise To dry the tears [C] out [G] of my eyes
If there's a river, you can bathe There'll be a sea for my heart
[Em] There'll be a [G] sea for my heart
