Intro: C majorC  FF (FF comes in after the third beat on the Ohhh) x 4

Verse:

FF          C majorC
Oh fair and flighty love
  A minorAm    C majorC
My aerolite above
        E minorEm
The only dove I see

FF         C majorC
Could you love me more
     A minorAm       C majorC
If by the sun and moon I swore
          E minorEm
That I would never flee?

Chorus:

    FF         C majorC
(Well) I still taste you on my lips
FF       E minorEm
Lovely bitter water
FF          C majorC
The terrible fire of old regret
G+G       A minorAm
Is honey on my tongue
   G+G
And I know I shouldn't love you
 FF
I know I shouldn't love you, but I do


C majorC  FF x2 (just like intro)


Verse 2:

FF        C majorC
I feel it in my soul
 A minorAm       C majorC
I feel the empty hole
           E minorEm
The cup that can't be filled

   FF       C majorC
And I feel it in my blood
    A minorAm      C majorC
In the fire and the flood
            E minorEm
The beast that can't be killed

Chorus 2:

FF      C majorC
Even now you mark my steps
FF       E minorEm
Lovely bitter water
FF        C majorC
All the days of our delights are
G+G      A minorAm
Poison in my veins
G+G
I know I shouldn't love you
FF
I know...


Instrumental Bridge:

C majorC  FF x10 (listen to song for rhythm)


Chorus 3:

C majorC
I am not a fool entire
FF         C majorC
No, I know what is coming
FF       C majorC
You'll bury me beneath the trees
G+G           A minorAm
I climbed when I was a child
G+G
I know I shouldn't love you
FF                C majorC
