Intro:

BB


Verse 1:
BB           G# minorG#m
oh the night is bitter
G# minorG#m            E MajorE
the stars have lost their glitter
E MajorE
and every day
C# minorC#m
takes you farther away

BB
From the one to whom
   G# minorG#m
your longing heart belongs
    E MajorE
So you crawl into the songs
  C# minorC#m   E MajorE  F#F#
And hope to find her there

Chorus:
BB       B/Bb  G#G#
When you want something
G#G#         F#F#    C# minorC#m
That you know you'll never have
     E/D#
And that wanting is
    E MajorE      F#F#
what's keeping you alive

BB       B/Bb  G#G#
When you lose someone
G#G#       F#F#    C# minorC#m
that you never really had
     E/D#
and that losing feels like
    E MajorE      F#F#
what it means to die


Verse 2:
BB           G# minorG#m
oh the winds grow colder
G# minorG#m            E MajorE
and suddenly you're older
E MajorE
Than that little girl
C# minorC#m
Wide-eyed in a wicked world

BB
Do you dare to think
   G# minorG#m
the promise of your love
    E MajorE
was the land that she heard of
  C# minorC#m   E MajorE  F#F#
in a lullaby where the bluebirds fly

Chorus:
BB       B/Bb  G#G#
When you want something
G#G#         F#F#    C# minorC#m

what's keeping you alive

what it means to die
