D A
Holding on, love’s poor grip , so it ends, no clarity
Bm G
It’s quite odd, I can’t help but think, true happiness is found alone
D A
Holding on, life’s poor grip, so it ends, too easily
Bm G
It’s quite odd, I can’t help but think, true happiness is found alone
E G F#m Bm
In a dream, in a dream, I’ve been thinking through the dreams that I have
G A
Seaside, near the growing tide, lies a kitten’s sweet demise
[Chorus]
D
Bid you farewell (pa pa pa pa)
A
Plucking petals off each flower (pa pa pa pa)
Bm
feet pressed flat we ran across the shore, with fear no more
G
And oh so lightly, I oh so lightly…
D
Bid you farewell (pa pa pa pa)
A
Gulping them, swallow the flowers (pa pa pa pa) we both leap into the sea,
Bm
our bodies nude, we feel so free
G
I get the feeling, I’m truly living…
E G
“By the way, I know you also know.
F#m Bm
Lies are clearer when, your fingers feel and grasp it,
G A D
to touch your chin. You’re doing it right now.”
A Bm G
[Another set of Pa pa's]
[Verse 2]
D A
Days that seem too average, will run out in a few years
Bm G
It’s quite odd, I can’t help but feel the sadness grow from thoughts alone
D A
And as you, someone shining, can die off, too easy
Bm G
It’s quite odd, I can’t help but feel the sadness grow from thoughts alone
E G F#m Bm
Give me love, give me love, I’ll eat love that you have to offer
G A
She said, “Strangle me instead, your hands, I want around my neck.”
[Chorus]
D
Bid you farewell (pa pa pa pa)
A
Tearing love up into pieces (pa pa pa pa) red-cheeked the feeling spreads,
Bm
we’ll lose our clothes, it’s you I chose,
G
And gracefully so, I’ll gracefully so…
D
Bid you farewell (pa pa pa pa)
A
Gulping love, to swallow it down (pa pa pa pa) two of us we sleep together,
Bm
lying down on dirty sheets
G
I get the feeling, I’m truly living…
E G F#m
“By the way, I know you also know.
Bm G
This small thing that’s called ‘eternal happiness’ will never exist.
A
Cause even flowers wilt away?”
D A Bm G
[Another set of pa pa's]
[Verse 3]
D
Days had passed and, after some time it was you who came back to the shore
A Bm
(Pa pa pa pa) Sighing into the night you let it sound the fondest of breaths
G
The taste of chocolate, the taste of chocolate, mimicking it,
D
Tasting sweet and tasting bitter, both held a special feeling
A Bm
(Pa pa pa pa) While I smoke a cigarette I’ll wait until the morning comes
G
So hold me tightly, please hold me tightly
[Chorus]
