Verse 1:
 
D                                      Bm 
Here's to you, the same chords that I stole 
A                          D 
From a song that I once heard 
                   Bm             A 
The Same melody I borrowed from the void 
D                                         Bm 
I'd rather observe than structure a narrative 
A 
The characters are thin; 
D                     Bm 
The plot does not develop 
A                     D 
It ends where it begins 

Link D Bm A (2x) 

Verse 2: 

D 
It's on the screen, in paperbacks 
Bm                       A 
In section 8 and cul-de-sacs 
D 
Electro haikus and drunk sonnets 
Bm                A 
Are moving me along 
Em 
Along 

Link: G D G D 

D You cut my hair Bm A You left red ink everywhere Em Do my hands tell a story? A Is it boring? (2x)
Link (Palm Muted): D Bm A Verse 3: D What I'd give to force your sigh Bm A What I'd give to see you cry D What I'd give for your caress Bm To see your blue cotton dress A Balled up on the floor D Certain memories are the problem Bm A D Certain drunken lines are the shame Bm Seven hundred miles and four years A D I can't fight the flame; it burns G Burns, and it burns and it burns.
D You cut my hair Bm A You left red ink everywhere Em Do my hands tell a story? A Is it boring? (2x)
Outro: D Was I wishing on satellites? A D Tell me how you've been doing that trick A D I'm just wishing the flame away A D Now I'm wishing the flame away
