[F#] Yep.
[C#]
I used to wake [E] and run with the moon, [F#m] live like a rake [C#] and a young man.
Covered my [E] lovers with flowers and [F#] wounds, my laughter the [C#] devil would frighten.
[E] The [F#] sun she would come [B] and [C#] beat me back [Bm] down, but every cruel [C#] day has its nightfall.
[E] I'd [F#] welcome the [B] stars with [C#] wine and [B] guitars, full of [C#] fire and forgetful.
My body was [E] sharp, the dark air was [F#] clean, and out raged my [C#] joyful companion.
Whispering [E] women how sweet did they [F#] seem, kneeling for [C#] me to command them.
[E] [F#] Time was like [B] water, [C#m] I was the [B] sea, I'd never have [C#] noticed it passing.
[E] Except [F#] for the [B] turning of [C#] night into [B] day, the yearning of [C#] day into cursing.
[F#] [E]
[F#] [C#]
Look at you now, don't [E] think I don't know [F#] what all your [C#] eyes are saying.
You want us to believe [E] these rants and these [F#] lies, tricks that his [C#] brain's been up playing.
A [F#] lover of [B] women, he [C#] can't hardly [Bm] stand, he trembles, he's [C#] bent and he's broken.
[E]
[F#] I've fallen, it's [B] true, but I [C#] say unto you, [Bm] hold your tongues until [C#] after I've spoken.
I was taking my pride with [E] the pleasures I'd [F#] known, I laughed and said [C#] I'd be forgiven.
But my laughter turned [E] round, eyes all [F#] ablaze, and said, sun is [C#] gonna be a wedding.
[E] I [F#] buried my [B] head, [C#] spoke once again, [B] the day to the night [C#] we are binding.
Now [E] the dark [B] air burning [C#] my skin, [B] and even the [C#] moonlight is [C#m] blinding.
[E] Now [F#] the dark air [Bm] burning [C#] my skin, [B] and even the [C#] moonlight is blinding.
