[Verse]
C Fmaj7
we are astronomers
C F
studying your heart
C Fmaj7
it’s free like the universe
C F
and finicky like art
[Pre-Chorus]
Em Am
and you are guarded
you write me poetry in the margins
Em F
secrets to find when you’re gone
[Chorus]
C
the way that you breathe
Em
like fucked up poetry
Am F
you hate the world but you love me just fine
C
let my roses dry
Em
in the sunlight
Am
think that maybe you were born to die
F
but i’ll love you tonight
[Interlude]
C Em Am Fmaj7 x2
C
you love the darkness
Fmaj7
especially when you’re high
C
you’re free like the raven
F
and soon you’ll fly
[Pre-Chorus]
Em Am
and you, you’re the one who started
this, you left notes in the margins
Em F
relics of some past life
[Chorus]
C
the way that you breathe
Em
like fucked up poetry
Am F
you hate the world but you love me just fine
C
let my roses dry
Em
in the sunlight
Am
think that maybe you were born to die
F
but i’ll love you tonight

and you always loved me best

you always loved me best

but you always loved me best

you always loved me best

the way that you breathe

like fucked up poetry

you hate the world but you love me just fine

let my roses dry

in the sunlight

think that maybe you were born to die
