Cmaj7 D/F#
I had a bad Cmaj7habit
of D/F#missing lovers Cmaj7past.
My D/F#brother used to Cmaj7call it
“D/F#eating out of the Emtrash,”
it’s never gonna D/F#last.
I thought my house was Cmaj7haunted,
I D/F#used to live with Cmaj7ghosts.
And D/F#all the perfect Cmaj7couples
said, “D/F#when you know, you Emknow,”
and, “when you don’t, you D/F#don’t.”
And Cmaj7all of the foes, and all of the friends, D/F#(ha ha)
have Cmaj7seen it before, they’ll see it again, D/F#(ha ha)
Cmaj7life is a song, it ends when it ends,
D/F#I was Emwrong.
D/F# But my mama told me, “GIt’s alright,
you were dancin’ through the Emlightnin’ strikes,
sleepless in the Amonyx night,
but now the sky is Dopalite.
(oh-oh, oh, oh, oh)
GHere we are,
never met no one like Emyou bеfore,
you had to make your Amown sunshine
but now thе sky is Dopalite.”
(oh-oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
You couldn’t underCmaj7stand it,
D/F#why you felt aCmaj7lone.
[D/F#You were in it Cmaj7for real –
D/F#she was in her Emphone
and you were just a D/F#pose.
And don’t we try to D/F#love love? Cmaj7(love love)
We D/F#give it all we Cmaj7got. (give it all we got)
You D/F#finally left the Cmaj7table (uh uh)
and D/F#what a simple Cmaj7thought,
you’re Emstarvin’ ’til you’re D/F#not.
And Cmaj7all of the foes and all of the friends, D/F#(ha ha)
have Cmaj7messed up before, they’ll mess up again D/F#(ha ha)
Cmaj7life is a song, it ends when it ends,
D/F#you move Emon…
D/F# And that’s when I told you, “GIt’s alright,
you were dancin’ through the Emlightnin’ strikes,
sleepless in the Amonyx night,
but now the sky is Dopalite.
(oh-oh, oh, oh, oh)
GHere we are,
never met no one like Emyou bеfore,
you had to make your Amown sunshine
but now thе sky is Dopalite.”
(oh-oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
GThis is just
a storm inside a Emteacup,
but shelter here with Amme, my love.
Thunder like a Ddrum –
this life will beat you up, up, up, up.
GThis is just
a temporary Emspeed bump,
but failure brings you Amfreedom
and I can bring you Dlove, love, love, love. (love)
Don’t you sweat it, baby, “Git’s alright,
you were dancin’ through the Emlightnin’ strikes,
sleepless in the Amonyx night,
but now the sky is Dopalite.
(oh-oh, oh, oh, oh)
GHere we are,
never met no one like Emyou bеfore,
you had to make your Amown sunshine
but now thе sky is Dopalite.”
(oh-oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
