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