Fm He was certain So was I C# There was comfort In her sighs A#m Dreams and ideas should not be the same thing Fm C You waited smiling for this Fm Oh she’d want it If she knew C# She could take it I thought too A#m Be careful be cautious but you just wished harder Fm C You waited smiling for this Chorus: F A# “But they love you!” over and over “they love you!” Thousands and thousands of Dm Eyes just like mine C Aching to find A# Who they are F A# And they love you! oh you can feel how they love you! Coated and warm but that’s Dm All they can do C Words only get through A# If they’re sharp Oh, how fitting for one so fake Make me a fairy, whatever it takes And just like her tale, my dream was a scam You waited, smiling, for this? I am burnt out, I smell of smoke It seeps through her cracks and so I start to choke Sentences sit in her mouth that are templated You waited, smiling, for this? Chorus A#sus4 A# I can just talk about it A#sus4 A# Maybe I'll talk about it A#sus4 A# I'll never talk about it A#sus4 A# I cannot talk about it Don't build hope on something broken I am not cartoon Cry for help, I am not joking I might just leave soon Don't build hope on something broken I am not cartoon Cry for help, I am not joking I might just leave soon You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA# A#m A#sus4 C C# Dm F Fm Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
