A Perfect Sonnet

C        
lately i've been wishing i had one desire 
Em 
something that would make me never want another 
Am 
something that would make it so that nothing matters 
D(b5)sus2   
all would be clear then  but i  
C 
guess i'll have to settle for a for a few brief 
moments and  
Em 
watch all dissolve into a single second 
    Am 
and try to write it down into a perfect sonnet 
   D(b5)sus2   
or one foolish line 
            F               G             Am 
cauz that's all that you'll get so you'll have to  
D(b5)sus2   
accept 
        F                    G 
you are here and then you're gone 
*sing the chorus now* 
    C 
but i believe that lovers should be tied together and 
Em 
thrown into the ocean in the worst of weather and  
Am 
left there to drown, left there to drown 
        D(b5)sus2   
in their innocence but  
C 
as for me i'm coming to the final chapter 
  Em 
i read all of the pages and there is still no answer 
Am 
only all that was before i know must soon come after 
            D(b5)sus2   
that is the only way it can be 
     F            G 
so i stand in the sun 
      Am          D(b5)sus2               
and i breathe with my lungs 
          F                G                 (Am) 
trying to spare myself the weight of the truth 
saying  
C 
everything you have ever seen was just a mirror 
           Em 
and you've spent your whole life sweating in an 
endless fever 
                Am 
and now you are laying ina bathtum full of freezing  
      D(b5)sus2   
water wishing you were a ghost 
    C 
but once you knew a girl and you named her lover 
    Em 
and danced with her in kitchens through the greenest  
           Am 
summer but autumn came, she disappeared 
                         D(b5)sus2   
you don't remember where she said she was going to  
        F                G                Am 
but you know that she is gone because she left you a  
D(b5)sus2   
song 
         F             G 
that you don't want to sing 
        C    
singing i believe that lovers should be chained 
together 
    Em       
and thrown into a fire with their songs and letters 
    Am 
and left there to burn, left there to burn in their  
D(b5)sus2   
arrogance 
    C 
but as for me i'm coming to my final failure 
     Em 
i've killed myself with changes trying to make it 
better 
            Am 
but i still ended up becoming something other than  
D(b5)sus2   
what i had planned to be...ALRIGHT!!! {C Em Am D(b5) 
    C       
now i believe that lovers should be draped in flowers 
    Em 
and layed entwined together on a bed of clover 
    Am 
and left there to sleep, left there to dream of their  
D(b5)sus2     D(b5)sus2    
happiness   
 
End on this:
