Verse 1:
F# minorF#m
   The plants grew along the road like an unquenchable wildfire
F#F#
I remember the times you used to think I was high
A augmentedA                                A augmentedA D MajorD    E MajorE
But I was too busy watching the waves of emotion crash over people like the tides in the ocean
     F# minorF#m
Push and pull

All you wanted was one more dance
    A augmentedA
I must confess I had no chance
     D MajorD                E MajorE
To renew myself or redo myself, you think I'm a crazy mess
D MajorD   E MajorE
Well, I agree

Chorus:
F# minorF#m          A augmentedA            A augmentedA  D MajorD
   And you wanted to know but I had no answer for you
D MajorD
Trapped under the thermometer
D MajorD              F# minorF#m
Temperature one hundred and two
    F# minorF#m      A augmentedA
Give me life, give me love, give me lust
      D MajorD
I'm sorry I know I ask for too much
D MajorD
That's because I know
D MajorD        F# minorF#m  A augmentedA D MajorD
It will never be enough

E MajorE  D MajorD

Verse 2:
F# minorF#m
I remember when your hand drew circles on mine
F# minorF#m        A augmentedA
  Your skin was cold
         A augmentedA
We were battling time
D MajorD                       A augmentedA
I never thought I'd become something that I'm not
     D MajorD       E MajorE
But everyone does, everyone does
       F# minorF#m
You think I'm crazy?
           A augmentedA
I think you think I'm crazy
                    A augmentedA
Well I guess I am, I am certainly not a lady
      D MajorD
But please court me
      D MajorD
Tell me you adore me
        D MajorD                 E MajorE
Tell me there's nothing wrong I'm a perfect human being but
F# minorF#m            F# minorF#m
You never reciprocated my desires
       A augmentedA
Even when we forced it
              A augmentedA
We always knew we'd be the liars who lied
D MajorD     D MajorD     D MajorD
Too often, too much, too heavy
D MajorD
I'm sorry I never put you first
 E MajorE
I really hope you get me

Chorus:
F# minorF#m          A augmentedA            A augmentedA  D MajorD
   And you wanted to know but I had no answer for you
D MajorD
Trapped under the thermometer
D MajorD              F# minorF#m
Temperature one hundred and two
    F# minorF#m      A augmentedA
Give me life, give me love, give me lust
  D MajorD
I'm sorry I know I ask for too much
D MajorD
That's because I know
D MajorD        F# minorF#m   A augmentedA D MajorD  D MajorD  D MajorD
It will never be enough
         F# minorF#m   A augmentedA D MajorD  D MajorD  Dmaj7Dmaj7
It will never be enough


Verse 3:
   D MajorD
So I guess the moral to the story
D MajorD
There's no morals and no story
    A augmentedA
In your iris lies the answer

Don't focus on the black centre
D MajorD
Hurricanes can wash away the sins
     E MajorE
That you perceive as, to be sins
D MajorD              E MajorE
My sins are spots and curls and skin


Verse 4:
F# minorF#m
I'm sorry
       F# minorF#m
You know I'm sorry
    A augmentedA                             A augmentedA
I never meant to alarm thee and I know you're not as strong as you think
D MajorD
You're not a diamond warrior
           D MajorD
Your feet grow roots into the earth
  D MajorD                 E MajorE
And I'm a tree as well but I'm growing much further away from you
F# minorF#m
No one hears us
    F# minorF#m        D MajorD
No one hears the words we scream
       A augmentedA
They're just whispers
                 D MajorD
Nightmares that scare little children in the dark
         D MajorD
Under the bed is where it's hidden
          E MajorE
In the dark, dark, dark, dark, dark, dark
F# minorF#m
Keep me awake
          F# minorF#m
I'm scared to fall asleep
  A augmentedA                     A augmentedA
You used to make flowers fall slowly from the ceiling
    D MajorD
It was magic
            D MajorD
Some kind of superhuman I can't hold it in
              E MajorE
Bursting with light but to keep me away from the heat of the fire

I left


Chorus:

F# minorF#m             A augmentedA
  And if you still want to know
        A augmentedA     D MajorD
I still have no answer for you
         D MajorD
Trapped under the thermometer
      D MajorD        F# minorF#m
Temperature one hundred and two
          F# minorF#m      A augmentedA          A augmentedA
I'll give you life, I'll give you love, I'll give you lust
      D MajorD
I'm sorry I know I ask for too much
D MajorD                   F# minorF#m   A augmentedA
That's because I know it will never be enough
         D MajorD   A augmentedA
It will never be enough
         D MajorD   A augmentedA  D MajorD
It will never be enough

A augmentedA A augmentedA D MajorD
