"A Perfect Sonnet"
by: Bright Eyes
lately i've been wishing i had one desire
something that would make me never want another
something that would make it so that nothing matters
D(b5)sus2
all would be clear then but i
guess i'll have to settle for a for a few brief
moments and
watch all dissolve into a single second
and try to write it down into a perfect sonnet
D(b5)sus2
or one foolish line
cauz that's all that you'll get so you'll have to
D(b5)sus2
accept
you are here and then you're gone
*sing the chorus now*
but i believe that lovers should be tied together and
thrown into the ocean in the worst of weather and
left there to drown, left there to drown
D(b5)sus2
in their innocence but
as for me i'm coming to the final chapter
i read all of the pages and there is still no answer
only all that was before i know must soon come after
D(b5)sus2
that is the only way it can be
so i stand in the sun
D(b5)sus2
and i breathe with my lungs
()
trying to spare myself the weight of the truth
saying
everything you have ever seen was just a mirror
and you've spent your whole life sweating in an
endless fever
and now you are laying ina bathtum full of freezing
D(b5)sus2
water wishing you were a ghost
but once you knew a girl and you named her lover
and danced with her in kitchens through the greenest
summer but autumn came, she disappeared
D(b5)sus2
you don't remember where she said she was going to
but you know that she is gone because she left you a
D(b5)sus2
song
that you don't want to sing
singing i believe that lovers should be chained
together
and thrown into a fire with their songs and letters
and left there to burn, left there to burn in their
D(b5)sus2
arrogance
but as for me i'm coming to my final failure
i've killed myself with changes trying to make it
better
but i still ended up becoming something other than
D(b5)sus2
what i had planned to be...ALRIGHT!!! [C,Em,Am, D(b5)]
now i believe that lovers should be draped in flowers
and layed entwined together on a bed of clover
and left there to sleep, left there to dream of their
()sus2 (b5)sus2
happiness
End on this:
