A Perfect Sonnet Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am]
[C]

[Verse 1]
Lately I've been wishing I [C]had
one de[F]sire
[Am]Some[Em]thing that would make
me never want another
[Am]Something that would make
it so that nothing matters
[Dm]All would be c[Ddim]lear th[Fm]en

[Verse 2]
But [C]I guess I'll have to settle for
a for a few brief moments
And [Em]watch all dissolve into a single second
And [Am]try to write it down
into a perfect sonnet
[Dm]Or one foolish line

[Verse 3]
Because [Dm]that's all that you'll [G]get
so you'll [Am]have to [Dm]ac cept
You [F]are here and then [G]you're gone
But [C]I believe that lovers should
be tied together and
[Em]Thrown into the ocean in
the worst of weather

[Verse 4]
And [Am]left there to drown
Left there to drown
In [Dm]their innocence
But [C]as for me I'm coming to the final chapter

[Verse 5]
I [Em]read all of the pages and
there is still no answer
[Am]Only all that was before I know
must soon come after
That is [Dm]the only way it can be
So I [F]stand in the [G]sun

[Verse 6]
And I [Am]breathe with [Dm]my lungs
Trying to [F]spare myself [G]the weight
of the [Am]truth[F][Dm]
[Am]Saying every[C]thing you [F]have ever[C]
seen was just a mirror
And you've [Em]spent your whole
life sweating in an endless fever

[Verse 7]
And now you are [Am]laying ina
bathtum full of freezing [Dm]water
Wish[Ddim]ing you were a gho[Fm]st
But [C]once you knew a girl and
you named her lover
And [Em]danced with her in kitchens
through the greenest summer

[Verse 8]
But [Am]autumn came, she disappeared
You don't remember where
[Dm]she said she was going to
But you [F]know that she [G]is gone
because [Am]she left you a s[Dm]ong
That [F]you don't want to [G]sing

[Verse 9]
We're singing [C]I believe that lovers
should be chained together
[F]And [Em]thrown into a fire with
their songs and [Am]letters
And left there to burn in [Dm]their arrogance
But [C]as for me I'm coming
to my fi[F]nal [C]failure

[Verse 10]
I've [Em]killed myself with changes
trying to make it better
But I still [Am]ended up becoming something
other than [Dm]what I had planned to be
Now [C]I b[Em]elieve[Am][Dm][Bb][Dm]
[F]
that lovers [C]should be draped in flowers
And [Em]laid entwined together
on a bed of clover

[Verse 11]
And [Am]left there to sleep
Left there to dream of [E]their happiness
[Fm]
