Tom: Gm
Gm Bbsus2
Bright eyes reflect the morning sun, she wakes so lost for love
Cm7 Dm7
So scared she'll never find someone, so scared she'll never be in love
Gm Bbsus2
One piece of paper, fifteen words she writes in perfect hand
Cm7 Dm7
"You give until you've given up and you are sure to find a perfect man."

Bah dah dah dah bah dah dah dah
[Keep playing these throughout the second verse, the chords are as follows:]
Gm Bbsus2
The smile, sketched and painted over her, so worn and faded
Cm7 Dm7
Searched for love, she sat and waited, tried her hardest to forsake me
Gm Bbsus2
Is she an angel or a fly far too close to a flame
Cm7 Dm7
Either way her wings will burn unless she learns to turn and fly away
Cm7 Dm7 Gm Bbsus2
Oh no, we're here again
Cm7 Dm7
Oh no, we're here again

(Repeat main arpeggios) (01:12 - 01:38)
Bah dah dah dah bah dah dah dah dah
Bah dah dah dah bah dah dah dah
Gm Bbsus2
One piece of paper can be heavier than any weight
Cm7 Dm7
With words that hold her heavy heart, a map that seems to keep her in one place
Gm Bbsus2
That's how she walks the world and how the world walks over her
Cm7 Dm7
She gives until she's given up, she gives up all the love that she deserves
Cm7 Dm7 Gm Bbsus2
Oh oh no, we're here again
Cm7 Dm7 Gm Bbsus2
So close, so near the end
Cm7 Dm7 D# G
We joke and we pretend
Cm7 Dm7
But we know
