[Verse]
Ab
Uh-oh, my story's not
Fm
The oldest of its kind
Cm
I was too touched to see you clearly
Eb
Far too young to realize
Ab
I, I had loved so dearly
Fm
You, whose world I had designed
Cm
But the sweet smoke came with mirrors
Eb
And it brought tears to my wide eyes
[Pre-Chorus]
Db Eb
Dying just to see you
Db Eb
Dying since I misconstrued
[Chorus]
Ab Eb
Your blue heart, black eyes
Db Fm Eb
Fading, falling, words I won't forget
Ab Eb Db
I died right when I saw you
Fm Eb
While you shared that cigarette
[Solo]

[Verse]
Ab
Uh-oh I saw you
Fm
Every time I closed my eyes,
Cm
In the Hughes film I had scored,
Eb
Produced and starred in, in my mind.
Ab
I could recite you,
Fm
Well, I'd written every line
Cm
But you strayed far from my flawless script
Eb
On which I'd spent a lifetime
[Pre-Chorus]
Db Eb
Falling over dead
Db Eb
Dying since I had misread
[Chorus]
Ab Eb
Your blue heart, black eyes
Db Fm Eb
Fading, falling, words I won't forget
Ab Eb Db
I died right when I saw you
Fm Eb
While you shared that cigarette
