Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am][Em][Am][Em][Am][Em][Am][Em][Am]
[Em][Am][C][Em]
[Am][C]
[Em][Am][C]
[Em][Am][Em][C][B]
[B5]Smoke-

[Verse 1]
[Am]ring afternoon[C]
The sun in a [Em]sling
Spinning
All [Am]come to meet her
On the [Em]record player
[C]Sound tracked suffering
[B5]These were the days[Am]
Of cata[C]pulting

[Verse 2]
After [Em]dark
Armored in angst
In moonlit park[Am]s
In a drunken blur
[Em]We tattooed the words[C]
Of Venus in furs

[Verse 3]
There's a [G]line you wrote
[Em]A long time [C]ago
It [G]goes [D]something [Em]like this
[C]I wou[G]ldn't mind dying at [Em]all[C]
If it [G]were't [D]for [Am]the songs [Em]I'd miss
[C]

[Interlude 1]
[Am][C][Em]
[Am][C][Em]

[Verse 4]
Filming, [Am]blossoms falling
From [Em]the cherry trees
[C]On pure ecstasy
[B5]And as we su[Am]lked

[Verse 5]
Like Russian spies
[C]Out after dar[Em]k
Deliberating
Court and [Am]spark
In a hail of [Em]broken glass
You told me
[C]Nothing's built to last

[Verse 6]
There's a [G]line you wrote
A [Em]long time [C]ago
It [G]goes [Am]something [Em]like [C]this
I [G]wouldn't mind dying [Em]at a[C]ll
If it [G]weren't for the [D]song
[Am]s I'd [Em]miss, oh[C]

[Verse 7]
[Am]Youth is [C]wasted on the [Em]young[G], oh
[D]Oh, [Em]ooh[C]
[G]Oh, [D]oh,[Em] oh,[C][G][D]
[Em]oh[C]
