Tom: Gm
D7
[Verse 1]
Gm Cm
She was digging for gold in the bottom of the holes in my pockets
Gm
But, when she came up for air, she had nothing but dirt in her hands
Cm
So, with a phantoming gaze, she retired to her speculations
Eb
Deciding between the dream and the menacing man that I am
[Chorus]
Bb Gm F
But I was praying we won't be forced to stay
Until our hearts stop beating
D7 Gm Gm/F Eb
Too afraid to admit defeat again
Bb Gm
I didn't wanna say it wasn't real
F Eb D7
I would rather stick to thinking I'm too esoteric
[Interlude]
Gm Cm Cm F
D7
[Verse 2]
Gm Cm
She perfected the art of dividing her love from her lover
Gm
But, in the end, I would find she retired her heart from her man
Cm
And, in a riotous daze, she conspired to forced litigations
Eb
Deciding to distance herself from the menacing man that I am
[Chorus]
Bb Gm F
And she was praying we won't be forced to stay
Until our hearts stop beating
D7 Gm Gm/F Eb
Too afraid to admit defeat again
Bb Gm
I didn't wanna say it wasn't real
F Eb D7
I was, rather, stuck in thinking I'm too es-o-ter ... Esoteric
[Instrumental]
Gm
Cm Gm Cm Gm Eb Eb
[Outro]
Bb Gm F
Celebrate that we won't be forced to stay
Until our hearts stop beating
D7 Gm Gm/F Eb
Unafraid to admit defeat again
Bb Gm
A little closer to something real
F Eb D7
Still, I just can't fight that feeling I'm too esoteric
