"A Perfect Sonnet"
by: Bright Eyes
Clately i've been wishing i had one desire
Emsomething that would make me never want another
Amsomething that would make it so that nothing matters
D(b5)sus2
all would be clear then but i
Cguess i'll have to settle for a for a few brief
moments and
Emwatch all dissolve into a single second
and Amtry to write it down into a perfect sonnet
D(b5)sus2
or one foolish line
cauz that's Fall that you'll Gget so you'll Amhave to
D(b5)sus2
accept
you are Fhere and then you're Ggone
*sing the chorus now*
but Ci believe that lovers should be tied together and
Emthrown into the ocean in the worst of weather and
Amleft there to drown, left there to drown
D(b5)sus2
in their innocence but
Cas for me i'm coming to the final chapter
i Emread all of the pages and there is still no answer
Amonly all that was before i know must soon come after
D(b5)sus2
that is the only way it can be
so i Fstand in the Gsun
Am D(b5)sus2
and i breathe with my lungs
F G (Am)
trying to spare myself the weight of the truth
saying
Ceverything you have ever seen was just a mirror
and you've Emspent your whole life sweating in an
endless fever
and now you are Amlaying ina bathtum full of freezing
D(b5)sus2
water wishing you were a ghost
but Conce you knew a girl and you named her lover
and Emdanced with her in kitchens through the greenest
summer but Amautumn came, she disappeared
D(b5)sus2
you don't remember where she said she was going to
but you Fknow that she is Ggone because she Amleft you a
D(b5)sus2
song
that you Fdon't want to Gsing
singing Ci believe that lovers should be chained
together
and Emthrown into a fire with their songs and letters
and Amleft there to burn, left there to burn in their
D(b5)sus2
arrogance
but Cas for me i'm coming to my final failure
i've Emkilled myself with changes trying to make it
better
but i still Amended up becoming something other than
D(b5)sus2
what i had planned to be...ALRIGHT!!! [C,Em,Am, D(b5)]
now Ci believe that lovers should be draped in flowers
and Emlayed entwined together on a bed of clover
and Amleft there to sleep, left there to dream of their
D(B5)sus2 D(b5)sus2
happiness
End on this:
