You real ly had me go (Em7)ing, wish ing on a star.
The black holes that sur round you are heav i er by far.
I be lieved in your con fu sion, so com plete ly torn.
It must have been that yes ter day was the day that I was born.
There’s not much to ex am ine, noth ing left to hide.
You real ly can’t be se ri ous, you have to ask me why
I Will say it ev er good bye.
’Cause I am bare ly breath ing, and I can’t find the air.
Don’t know who I’m kid ding, i mag in ing you (Fmaj9)care.
And I could stand here wait ing, ooh, for an oth er day.
I don’t sup pose it’s worth the price, it’s worth the price, the price that I would pay.
And ev ’ry one keeps ask ing what’s it all a bout.
It used to be so cer tain.
