E
[Verse 1]
E
Won't you put me out of my misery
E B7
If I ever seem less than perfectly happy
B7 E G# A
Here on this street in my technicolor town
A E B7 E
I belong here now and forever
E
There's a quiet in the house that's holding court
E B7
For those with names in stones and trunks of trees
B7 E G# A
I never thought I'd see it in my dreams
A E B7 E
Because I never thought I'd go away from there
[Chorus 1]
C#m G#m F#m E
Can't be done, can't change how it happened
C#m G# F# E Bm A
They should put up a plaque for a love like that
C#m G#m E F#m G#
Until they tear it to the ground, my yearning heart will howl
Bm E Bm A
Howl, howl
E
Oh
[Verse 2]
E
Won't you put me out of my misery
E B7
If I ever seem like I'm thinking I might leave
E B7 E? G# A
I wanna be in my technicolor town
A E B7 E
I belong here now and forever
E
I may venture out to taste the fruit
E B7
They're playing my song but no one knows the words
B7 E G# A
They hear it and, to them, it sounds absurd
A E B7 E
They may not understand I hope they never do
[Chorus 2]
C#m G#m F#m E
Can't be done, can't change how it happened
C#m G# F# E Bm A
They should put up a plaque for a love like that
C#m G#m E F#m G#
Until they tear it to the ground, my yearning heart will howl
Bm E Bm A
Howl, howl
E
Oh
