[Em] I've had you a friend, [D] but I can't [A] see you crying
Love, I dream of [Em] a love affair, [D] but so my past is [A] dying
[B] Celebrate, great escape from [E] lunacy, divided
I'm not new, [B] I've seen you, but [D] nobody [E] [A] decided
A [Bm] sound that's drifting [G] out from you, when the [Bm] love has fallen away
Colour, [Bm] shape and the years [G] of things we need
A [D] beating heart, not a [D#] cheating heart, not a [E] cheating heart
[E] It's still a beating heart, I'm leaving you today
[A] And [Em] [D]
[A]
[Em] [D]
[A]
it leaves [Em] me wondering, if [E] love can [A] swallow forever
Erase one mind, [Em] see what I find, [D]
axe this [A] dream together
[D] I've got all these secrets [B] hidden in my bag
But [E] I'm not leaving, cause they're not believing
That you could ever do that thing, and never bring yourself to [D] sing
