Intro chords

Verse 1

  This is our story.

  It's a short one, but it's a

  Hard harsh read.

  Between the lines, a little aching need.

  We're a strange arrangement;

  No strings.

  But the music we make is

  Serpentine and bittersweet.

  In my youth, you know,

  I loved you like gangbusters.

 Now I watch you fall.

 Twisting, turning, growing small.

  You're a roomful of sorrow,

  A spoonful of joy

  Another infidelity

  Another pain, another golden glitter boy.

Chorus

 IiiiiiiiiiiiiIiiiiiiiiii

 I want you. I know it's crazy,

 But I really want to leave you, too.

 IiiiiiiiiiiiiIiiiiiiiiii

 I want you. Boy, oh boy, you bring me joy

And then you make me blue.

With intro chords:

I love to love you; I'm a fool.

You're callous and you're cold,

And oh, so cruel.

Verse 2

I'm starting to forget things.

Faces, names.

Games played, plans laid.

Surely, there were promises made.

Good love is easy to find,

But it's hard to keep.

And though I hate it when you wake,

I still love to watch you sleep.

Chorus.

Repeat intro chords 4x during break.

Using chorus chords 1x through:

Oooooooh,Ooooooooooh,Oooooooooooooh

Verse 3

Remember the early days

When nickels were dimes,

And a dollar took us everywhere.

I don't think I ever combed my hair.

Is this our story?

Is this where the loving starts?

In the stillness, the staring,

The hardening of hearts?

We're a strange arrangement;

No strings.

This is not my place, these are not my things.

It's not my way, the pain love brings.

Chorus. (repeat with vocal embellishments)
