G G6
When she saw the M plates, they started to panic
Cmaj7 D
While performing for passengers clamouring for the static
Em Em7
Riveting but not riveted, and harder to pin down
Am D
It had her mother's half-baked recipe, for a night on the town
G F C
Bleeding smaller than early autumn leaves
B7 Em Em7
Deafened by the forest, but sickened by the trees
C D G
Of your insipid inspiration
C D G
Infamous percussive rebounds
C D G Em
Insidious, inobvious, but inglamoured
C B7 G
God it's great to have you back in town
G G6
Did I hear you say that the heat was unbearable?
Cmaj7 D
Cause I should have noticed you're more than just a little uncomfortable
Em Em7
But I never said I loved you, or even that I missed you
Am D
I never once said, I just wanted to kiss you
G F C
Love in action, lacking in detail
B7 Em
Poetic in its remission, forever for sale
C D G
To the absolute beginner
C D G
Will aim to borrow from the past
C D G Em
Was this your very, very first time my dear?
C B7 G
Because I'm afraid it'll be your last.
G G6
Did she dream the accident? Or was it really real?
Cmaj7 D
The shattering of glass and the grinding of steel
Em Em7
Caught in the headlights and hiding behind the absurd
Am D
Grew the happiness, the laughter of the word
G F C
But the hum was thicker than loves in retreat
B7 Em Em7
And the cries were wider than the passing of disease
C D G
And it still echos in the canyon
C D G
trickling out over the past
C D G Em
Through the forest of explanation
C B7 G
except this one was made to last.
G G6
The capped up potion was no longer sealed
Cmaj7 D
Swimming in the shadows would her pain be revealed?
Em Em7
Still the warmth was soothing, and harder to deny
Am D
Just like the glaciers that freeze, like emotion and and tear that you cry
G F C
Burning closer than the flowers forlorn
B7 Em Em7
The sadness of knowing what's in store for you too soon
C D G
The softest situation
C D G
The hardest weakness to conceal
C D G Em
The most pleasurable indecision
C B7 G
Lack of anything left to feel.
G G6
Love murdered by fire, or frozen from regret
Cmaj7 D
Every particle of hope and fate freeze motionless from neglect
Em Em7
Hard-won for forgiveness, with their knowledge of defeat and war
Am D
Love ripples away in fading circles from your castoff shore
G F C
But the pain was brighter, than the shackles of summer past
B7 Em Em7
The surrender was more suspicious than convincing, or relaxed
C D G
To be continued later
C D G
To be finished, at any cost.
C D G Em
What you wanted, in all your abandon
C B7 G
in the end, was exactly, what you lost
