I used to be such a burning example

I used to sleep without a single stir
A
'Cause I was about my father's work

C#m
Well take me out tonight
E
This ship of fools I'm on will sink
C#m
E millstone around my neck
E
Be my breath, there's nothing I wouldn't give
C#m E

I used to know the name of every person I'd kissed
