[F] [Bb]
[Gm] [F] I guess the moon [Gm] had it out for us, [Bb] [Dm] and the night and [Gm] stars the same.
[F] Everything she [Bb] touched turned to stone and died eventually, [F] but was never seen [Gm] the same again.
In [F] this heart I [Eb] have, you never [F] [Gm] sympathize, and while you held my hand, I think I witnessed my crime.
[F] [Bb]
[F] [Gm]
While [C] she drove we [Bb] sat in silence, all I [Dm] could do was [Gm] try to breathe.
[F] Her and I would [Gm] never talk too [Bb] much or lick down walls, [Dm] just live between [Gm] the hours of sleep.
In this dream I [Eb] had, my screams were [F] baby's [Gm] breath, I watched her steal [Bb] the air, [Eb] right
[Bb] from the [Gm] atmosphere.
In this heart I [Eb] have, you never paid [F] no [Gm] mind, and on the long drive home, I think I witnessed her crime.
[F] [Eb] [Bb]
[F] [Gm]
[Cm] [Gm] And she [Cm] said, [Bb] I just [Ab] went crazy [Eb] from the heat, [Cm] and I [Bb] just lit a [Ab] little fire [Gm] under [Cm] your feet,
and [Bb] that's not so [Ab] bad, see [Eb] people do [Bb] it all [Cm] the time, it's just a little [Gm] bit of blood
in your eye.
Oh, [F] stop all [Eb] your crying.
[Gm]
Yeah, oh my dead man, died in her [F] arms one [Gm] night, you go so quietly, once you've [F] seen the [Gm] end.
Oh, this heart I have, you never [Dm] paid no [Gm] mind, and on the drive home, I think I [Dm] witnessed [Gm] her crime.

the time, it's just a little bit of blood
Oh, stop all your crying.
Yeah, oh my dead man, died in her arms one night, you go so quietly, once [F] you've seen the end.
