Ab\Eb... Bb... Ab.. Abm.. Eb... Ab\Eb... Bb... Ab.. Abm.. Eb... Eb Black wings lightly feathered Bb a new-born spring stream still tethered Ab Gm to the snow of a petulant winter Ab Bb is that how I think of you? Black heart all necrotic from the grief that you brought it in the summers of your misspent youth is that all there is to you?
Cm Ab
There's nothing I can do
F Eb
to bring back your love to you
Eb... Cm... Ab... Bb...
Could it be more romantic? an old ship going 'cross the Atlantic all the work we did, tilling the earth abandoned for something new
Cm Ab Eb
And it's scary, but it's all for the better
Cm Ab
yeah, it's scary, but
Cm Ab
There's nothing I can do
F Eb
to bring back your love to you
Eb... Cm... Ab... Bb...
A sad song wins you over
one bad rhyme and you've found you a lover
well I know them all so sit and listen
I think that I've heard your tune
Eb
Black eyes in the attic
Bb
searching for things like an addict
Ab Gm
maybe there's something lies there forgotten
Ab Eb
among all the rubble of ages
Ab Eb
between yellowed, dusty pages
Ab Bb Eb
the thing that brings your love back to you
Eb... Cm... Ab... Bb...
