daniel johnston / syrup of tears chords
Start Jamming...
[C]
Tears fall left and right, no hope in sight.
Like heavy syrup, for sour pancakes so flat.
[G] Keep it light forever, [C] [Em] not [Am] realizing my own fate.
[F] It's great, [G] the weight [C] upon me now.
Nothing for me nowhere, but [F] the emptiness [C] I feel.
Depression has got me down, drilling for the kill.
It's [G] too late to suffer [C] through.
[G] God, I'll [A] make you a deal.
Just [F] let me smile [G] a while [C] for real.
And when the evening [F] comes, I'll be [G] on the run.
[C] You were the only [F] one that sure [G] was fun.
[F] To me, [G] there's never been any [F] better, and no kind of [G] love
have ever been any greater [F] than you.
[G] For me, [C] I can tell you [F] shunned.
[G] Like a sacred [F] goddess in love, [G] like a [C] psychopath is the sun.
Until we meet [F] again, I [G] won't give [C] up.
It's such a wonder for [F] us, our [G] inner chorus.
[F] And so it starts.
[G] The [F] alligator, when you appear, [G] from never forever,
[F] and you smile [G] on my poor, [C] suffering soul.
[F] Blessed father, [G] you are my [F] treasure, can't you see?
[G] It's all an [F] illusion.
I love you [G] more [C] than myself.
I love you more than myself.
I love you more than myself.
I love you more than myself.
I love you more than myself.
And I wish to see you again, and I wish to see you again.
And I wish to see you again, and I wish to see you again,
And I wish to see you again
again.
