When chords by Dodie Clark

G# C# Cm C#     x2

G# Cm                             Cm
   I think I've been telling lies,
C#                            G#
cause I've never been in love.
C#                                        Cm            C#                      G#
Everyone falls for the sunshine disguise, distracted by who they're thinking of.


C#                      Cm
I'd rather date an idea;
C#                        G#
something I'll never find.
           C#
Sure, I'll live in the moment,

but I'm never happy here
       Cm         C#                   G#
I'm surrounded by greener looking time.


   C#
Am I the only one
        D#
wishing life away?
      G#
Never caught up in the moment
     G#
busy begging the past to stay
Em                    Em
Memories painted with much brighter ink;
     G#                     G#
they tell me I loved, teach me how to think.

G# C# Cm C#

G# C#                        Cm C#
     I'll take what I can get

cause I'm too damp for a spark.
        G#
Kissing sickly sweet guys
           C#
cause they say they like my eyes
        Cm                        C#   G#
but I'd only ever see them in the dark.


C#                                Cm
 I'm sick of faking diary entries,
       C#
got to get it in my head; I'll never be sixteen again
    G#                   C#
I'm waiting to live, and waiting to love
            Cm                            C#
oh it'll be over, and I'll still be asking when.


  C#
Am I the only one
        D#
wishing life away?
      G#
Never caught up in the moment
     G#
busy begging the past to stay
Em                    Em
Memories painted with much brighter ink;
     G#                     G#
they tell me I loved, teach me how to think.
