I used to be such a burning example

I used to be so original

D
I used to sleep without a single stir
C
'Cause I was about my father's work
[Chorus 1]
Em
Well take me out tonight
G
This ship of fools I'm on will sink
Em
G millstone around my neck
G
Be my breath, there's nothing I wouldn't give

I used to know the name of every person I'd kissed
C
Now I've made this bed and I can't fall asleep in it

Well take me out tonight

Be my breath, there's nothing I wouldn't give

Be my breath, there's nothing I wouldn't give

So take me out tonight
