[Verse 1]

   C/G      C/G
Is love a fool
    Em      Em
A brackish goad?
    C/G      C/G
Protected like
   Em    Em
A lilac cove
   Dm    Dm         Am   C/G     Em
Becomes    by the breath of the sun
   Dm           Am     Am
Denuded and diffused
  Em
Again

C/G C/G               Em       Em           C/G      C/G
       And while the winds, so sired, so subsumed
Em            Em     Dm
 Forbade his day by rule
         Dm         Am    C/G
To ever lapse into ruin
       Em
And regret

 G  G      Asus4      C/G
Juliet, oh I can't crease
       Dm      Dm
I get tired
            Am     C/G
I just get tired
        G       G     Asus4        C/G
Cause Fleur-de-lis, noblesse oblige
             Dm         Dm
Down to the wires
            Am    Am
I just got tired

            C/G Em    Dm    Dm
Along the flaaame to you
           C/G Em    Dm    (single strum) [stop]
Among the waaaay to you
                         Dm    (single strum)
40 years to finally wake up
                                      C/G
And 9 more to sling the snakes out of you

[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]

 C/G      C/G
Richly pink
       Em         Em
That steel poem flam
    C/G       C/G
A flint of luck
    Em       Em
Miscast my chance
   Dm     Dm
As one
            Am    C/G
Does after days
         Em
A droll dance
  Dm            Am     Am
Triumph after triumph
 Em     C/G   C/G
Dashed
             Em            Em           C/G      C/G
Words that churned passed fire and the moon
Em               Em            Dm
  The stranger crossed my view
        Dm             Am    C/G           Em
Making good on their promise    and our youth

 G        G           Asus4  C/G
Purity, please, oh I can't preach
       Dm     Dm
I get tired
            Am      C/G
I just get tired
        G       G       Asus4   C/G
Cause Fleur-de-lis, noblesse oblige
             Dm    Dm
Down to the wires
            Am     Am
I just got tired

            C/G Em    Dm    Dm
Along the flaaame to you
           C/G Em     Dm    Dm
Among the waaaay to you
            C/G Em       Dm    Dm
Along the flaaame to you
           C/G Em    Dm    (single strum) [stop]
Among the waaaay to you
                         Dm    (single strum)
40 years to finally wake up
                                      C/G
And 9 more to sling the snakes out of you
