I've spent the days of my vanity
Fmaj7
I'm lost to heaven and I'm lost to earth
Em7 Dm Am7}
Didn't give you a minutes-not even moments
Fmaj7
All my life in a tower of foil
Em7 Dm Am7
Shaded feelings: "I don't believe you!"
Fmaj7
When you were there before my eyes
Em7 Dm
No one planned it, took it for granted . . .
