[B]
Didn't I say to you not to reason?
It was never gonna stay, it was never gonna stay here
You're like the moon in a basket of wheat You rose out of the roses right under my mouth
[E] In a far away crowd from this petty little town
[B] Shine back we were known as though you never owed us
[E] Some passionately painted creatures we met [B] To descend from the bleachers without much
more than a promise
So [E] you cut it in your gut [F#] stinking I [G#m] could taste it in your pain
Fully lifting when you came And [E] like a remarkable and utter [B] feeling
But [E] that won't make it a remarkable feeling
Didn't I taste it, feel it, [F#] and know [B] In so many ways, so many ways
[E] The feel of your honey in the corner of my mouth
[B] Like a loop around the block Like a shadow in your notebook
[E] Oh come on, what's based in rhyme doesn't matter
[F#]
[G#m] Now we pause the tape for some laughter I [E] won't accept the cutscene any [B] further
I [E] will return it to you when I'm further
[F#] [E]
My [B]
[G#m]
soul cousin told me I was featured in a play
[B] I was meant to take the stage, I turned to him okay
[E] And in it we drove all night and you smiled so much
[B] You got creases on your face, the kind that give you grace
And I try to keep cool regardless of what I know to be true
I know to be true
You got good timing and you're listening blindly
You're a street fighter, no, a pirate fighter [E] Desire, desire
[B] Was never gonna stay, never gonna stay
Well, [E] desire, desire
Was [B] never gonna stay, was never gonna stay
[G#m] Well, fiction's [B] frightening
Like statues in lightning
And I wore my boots on
And you gave it a new [E] glow
Well, desire, desire
[B]
Was never gonna stay, was never gonna stay
[E] Well, desire, desire
[B] Was never gonna stay, was never gonna stay
