Did [D] [F]
[Bb] [F] you spend most of your [Dm] life waiting [F] on a fairy tale read [Bb] between pages?
huddle up close [Dm] to your boombox radio [F] with somebody waiting [Bb] on the same song?
sold our souls [F] on the fantasies we found in records of black and [C] white movies
used to beg June [F] to burn me alive if that would get me anywhere but here

_ [Dm] And I used to beg June [F] to burn me alive if that would get me anywhere but here
_ Now _ _ Ella James hit [C] that symphony [Dm] cause she drips through my blood [Bb] like a remedy
_ [F] And for most of my sad life [C] figured I was gonna [Dm] die [C] alone

[F] In my chest was a lonesome [Bb] growing sock hole
[F] I kept pictures dug up [Dm] in the rear view above
[F] And the sirens are lost [Bb] in the ocean
And [Dm] all we wanted was [F] absolutely everything
Like foolish, hungry young [C] lions
[Dm] I was lost and alone a [F] million light years from home
And it was nobody's fault but mine
