[Gm] [Bb]
[F] Everybody wants a lover, [C] nobody wants to uncover [G] what they lay deep [Bb] beneath the sun.
Some days feel [F] the best.
Won't we go without a [C] cap?
Or god damn yes, from her hair.
[G] I think every time we didn't [Bb] have a chap.
[F] The whole world, captivated by her beauty.
[C] I knew it was my lifelong duty.
[G] She had [Gm] all the grace and charm [Bb] of a radiant [F] queen.
[C] [Gm] Without [G] speaking, [Dm] [Bb] I'd be here, [F] without [C] bliss.
I'd live [Fm] [G] without being afraid.
[Bb] I'd take [F] without [C] caring.
[Bb] I'd keep it all [F] inside.
Now I've front-ranced on my ceiling.
[C] I can't have this fucked up feeling.
[G] Something's wrong, you ain't [Bb] coming around here [F] no more.
Trying to get my thoughts together.
[C] I think every time things were better.
[Gm] This miscommunication [Bb] is breaking [F] me down.

[G] [Gm] Without speaking, [Bb] I'd be here, [F] [C] without bliss.

[C] Nobody wants to uncover [Gm] what may lay.
Deep beneath [Bb] a sometimes [F] painful [Fm] past.
[F] My heart is heavy, slowly sinking.
[C] I redirect my desperate thinking.
[Gm] And kiss her at the lips, like [Bb] I did the very [F] first time.

Without [G] speaking, [Bb]
I'd be here, [F] without bliss.

Now I've front-ranced on [G] my ceiling.
[Bb] I've kept it [F] all up [C] inside.
All my [Gm] life.
