Perfecting Loneliness Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

G♯mI'm a long list C♯mwith no time.

Sunset panic on the street,

sugar and lightbulbs,

the milk of kindness is behind us now.

Part 2

BWith all those stones in yourC♯m coat,

Bdid you think I Awouldn't know?

The tea leaves of trashed streets,

dirty needles and sweets.

Zero to heaven in seven,

A lifetime,

A nanosecond.

All the sand in your glass

is going by so fast.

Part 3

AThe radio is Eplaying our tune.

C♯mI love it, could youA turn it down?

AThe thought of you Ecrying in my room;

C♯mI miss you, could you Acome around

G♯msometime?

When the night comes down,

the world becomes a room

under the microscope

with a labcoat and glue.

I'm fixing this hole

with everything I knew.

The music is making my head split.

I love it, could you turn it off?

The thought of you is tearing me in two.

I miss you, could you come around

sometime?

G♯mSometime?

Part 4

EThis Blist is C♯mwhat went right;

Eyour Bname is wAritten twice.

We live like astronauts

and our missions never cross.

G♯mThe stakes are Ahigh,

G♯mwe're standing Aby.

E B C♯m A

EThere used to Bbe a hundred C♯mways to put my Aarms around you;

Every one seemed new,

natural and true,

perfecting loneliness

'til nothing's holding us.

Consider Earth:

we could be the first.
