Intro ChorusEG#
Once I was happy in happy extremes.
C#mGdim7C7B7
These bitter tokens are worthless to me.
verse 1Amaj7B9
So you appear and say how I've grown,
Amaj7B9
And fill me up with faces I've known.
Amaj7B9
In this light they're far from divine,
Amaj7
I've saved them up,
B7B9
I'll spend them when I have
Emaj7E7Amaj7*
time.
verse 2Emaj7Emaj13Amaj7
The salted taste of all your tears and woes,
Emaj7Emaj13Amaj7
Sent me in haste, my melancholy rose,
G#7C#m
Those tasteless lips were closed,
F#mG#mAB7
You watched me come, now see me go.
EG#7
Once I was happy in happy extremes,
C#mGdim7C7B7
Packing my bags for the path of the free.
EG#7
From pillar to post I am driven, it seems.
C#mGdim7C7B7
These bitter tokens are worthless to me.
verse 3Amaj7B9
Just like June, the curtains are closed
Amaj7B9
The ghost of shame, he sits here and sighs.
Amaj7B9
I'll love the flames like I loved the cold
Amaj7B7
I'll learn to love the life
B7
Of the 'Could I, could I,
Emaj7E7Amaj7*
could I'
verse 4Emaj7Emaj13Amaj7
So I won't cross my fingers any more
Emaj7Emaj13
You looked for rags,
Amaj7
And found them at your door,
G#7C#m
How could you ask for more
F#mG#mAB7
Than every thing you've heard before?
EG#7
Once I was happy in happy extremes,
C#mGdim7C7B7
Packing my bags for the path of the free.
EG#7
From pillar to post I am driven, it seems.
C#mGdim7C7B7
These bitter tokens are worthless to me.
