Db A#m Fm Ab
[Verse]
Db
Uh-oh, my story's not
A#m
The oldest of its kind
Fm
I was too touched to see you clearly
Ab
Far too young to realize
Db
I, I had loved so dearly
A#m
You, whose world I had designed
Fm
But the sweet smoke came with mirrors
Ab
And it brought tears to my wide eyes
[Pre-Chorus]
Gb Ab
Dying just to see you
Gb Ab
Dying since I misconstrued
[Chorus]
Db Ab
Your blue heart, black eyes
Gb A#m Ab
Fading, falling, words I won't forget
Db Ab Gb
I died right when I saw you
A#m Ab
While you shared that cigarette
[Solo]
Db A#m Fm Ab
[Verse]
Db
Uh-oh I saw you
A#m
Every time I closed my eyes,
Fm
In the Hughes film I had scored,
Ab
Produced and starred in, in my mind.
Db
I could recite you,
A#m
Well, I'd written every line
Fm
But you strayed far from my flawless script
Ab
On which I'd spent a lifetime
[Pre-Chorus]
Gb Ab
Falling over dead
Gb Ab
Dying since I had misread
[Chorus]
Db Ab
Your blue heart, black eyes
Gb A#m Ab
Fading, falling, words I won't forget
Db Ab Gb
I died right when I saw you
A#m Ab
While you shared that cigarette
