    G
Oh Marvin
Seems so long
               C
But I still remember you
              G
I would have given everything
                 D
If I could have talked to you
              Em         D
For just one small moment
                     C Am
In the quiet of the day
D                  G Em D
You took my pain away

    G    Em D
Oh Marvin

Oh Marvin
The one who wanted
The one that could not stay
With a flash of illusion
Oh the big one that got away
Just one small moment
In the quiet of the day
You took my pain away

Oh Marvin
Oh Marvin

Oh how we miss you
Oh how we wish somehow
I could hold onto your wings
And fly away
Because the pain you knew
Was the pain I knew too
Misunderstood like the
Thorn of a rose
Before the summer came
Your beauty washed away
Like pretty petals in the wind and rain
