Tom: Em
Em B
Strung out on a man that I’m
Am C
thinking I can save
D7 B7
The doses wax, the pleasures wane
Em
And you stand with arms
B
outstretched
Am C
Looking simple, fine, and plain
B A Em
I wish I loved you anyway
[Chorus 1]
Em B
Him with his boyish eyes
Am C
You with a vacant smile
D7 B7
If only people ever changed
Em B
But I’m quite set in my ways
Am C
And you’re blesséd as the day
B A Em
I wish I loved you anyway
[Bridge 1]
C Em
You and I weren’t made for love
C Em
Get it straight, our time won’t come
Dm Am
I was told when I was young
B
No crying in the rain
[Verse 2]
Em B
Hung up on the thought that the
Am C
future could be light
D7 B7
I liked your bright naiveté
Em B
But every clever man
Am C
Has a melancholic mind
B A Em
I wish I loved you anyway
[Chorus 2]
Em B
Held down by the albatross
Am C
Strung up like a giant cross
D7 B7
I always break under its weight
Em B
‘Cause I’m quite set in my ways
Am C
You were just a holiday
B A C
I wish I loved you anyway
[Bridge 2]
C Em
Maybe I’m not made for love
C Em
Maybe you’re too good for us
Dm Am
But your light heart for my dark lust
B
I guess I’ll never trade
[Outro]
Em B
It’s like I say
Am C
You were just a holiday
B A Em
I wish I loved you anyway
B A Em
I wish I loved you anyway
