Chords with lyrics

[VERSE 1]
C minorCm       Fm/C       Fdim/B
  Don't let me out of this kiss
       C minorCm
Don't let me say what I say
        Fm/Ab      Bbadd2
The things that scare us today

what if they happen someday

Don't let me out of your arms

For now

And if he does it with love
        Eb/GEb/G    Eb/BbEb/Bb  C minorCm
Well then it's death from above

And death from above is still a death

[VERSE 3]

  For those who still can recall

The desperate colors of fall

The sweet caresses of May
     Eb/GEb/G Eb/BbEb/Bb  C minorCm
Only in poems remain
     Fm/Ab
No one recites them these days
     G7G7
For the shame

[VERSE 4]

What if each to his own lonely grave
