Intro Chorus:
E MajorE                  G#G#
Once I was happy in happy extremes.
C# minorC#m          Gdim7Gdim7      C7C7           B7B7
These bitter tokens are worthless to me.


Verse 1:
Amaj7Amaj7             B9B9
So you appear and say how I've grown,
Amaj7Amaj7               B9B9
And fill me up with faces I've known.
Amaj7Amaj7                 B9B9
In this light they're far from divine,
Amaj7Amaj7
I've saved them up,
     B7B7           B9B9
I'll spend them when I have
EMaj7Emaj7    E7E7   Amaj7*
time.


Verse 2:
EMaj7Emaj7      EMaj13Emaj13    Amaj7Amaj7
The salted taste of all your tears and woes,
EMaj7Emaj7      EMaj13Emaj13    Amaj7Amaj7
Sent me in haste, my melancholy rose,
G#7G#7                       C# minorC#m
Those tasteless lips were closed,
    F# minorF#m        G# minorG#m       A majorA      B7B7
You watched me come, now see me go.


Chorus:
E MajorE                   G#7G#7
Once I was happy in happy extremes,
C# minorC#m       Gdim7Gdim7        C7C7           B7B7
Packing my bags for the path of the free.
     E MajorE                   G#7G#7
From pillar to post I am driven, it seems.
C# minorC#m           Gdim7Gdim7     C7C7           B7B7
These bitter tokens are worthless to me.


Verse 3:
Amaj7Amaj7               B9B9
Just like June, the curtains are closed
Amaj7Amaj7                 B9B9
The ghost of shame, he sits here and sighs.
Amaj7Amaj7                    B9B9
I'll love the flames like I loved the cold
Amaj7Amaj7                   B7B7
I'll learn to love the life
B7B7
Of the "Could I, could I,
EMaj7Emaj7        E7E7     Amaj7*
could I"


Verse 4:
EMaj7Emaj7      EMaj13Emaj13    Amaj7Amaj7
So I won't cross my fingers any more
EMaj7Emaj7           EMaj13Emaj13
You looked for rags,
Amaj7Amaj7
And found them at your door,
    G#7G#7               C# minorC#m
How could you ask for more
     F# minorF#m   G# minorG#m          A majorA   B7B7
Than every thing you've heard before?


Chorus:
E MajorE                   G#7G#7
Once I was happy in happy extremes,
C# minorC#m        Gdim7Gdim7        C7C7          B7B7
Packing my bags for the path of the free.
     E MajorE                   G#7G#7
From pillar to post I am driven, it seems.
C# minorC#m          Gdim7Gdim7      C7C7            B7B7
These bitter tokens are worthless to me.
