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

Verse 2
It's on the screen, in paperbacks
In section 8 and cul-de-sacs
Electro haikus and drunk sonnets
Are moving me along
Along

Chorus
(x2)
You cut my hair
You left red ink everywhere
Do my hands tell a story?
Is it boring?

Verse 3
(Palm-Muted)
What I'd give to force your sigh
What I'd give to see you cry
What I'd give for your caress
To see your blue cotton dress
Balled up on the floor
Certain memories are the problem
Certain drunken lines are the shame
Seven hundred miles and four years
I can't fight the flame; it burns
Burns, and it burns and it burns.
Chorus
(x2)
You cut my hair
You left red ink everywhere
Do my hands tell a story?
Is it boring?
Outro
Was I wishing on satellites?
Tell me how you've been doing that trick
I'm just wishing the flame away
Now I'm wishing the flame away
Nota Bene:
On the D's in the outro, and throughout other points during the song, you can add
embellishments to make it sounds a bit more tidy, but you don't have to. If you wanna
give it
a try, then whilst you're on the regular D Major shape, hit the fourth fret on the D
string, then move it up to second, then open again. Large.
