[D] [Bm] [G] [D]
I once loved a girl, her skin it was bronze
[Bm] [C] [G]
With the innocence of a lamb, she was gentle like a fawn
[D] [Bm] [G] [D]
I courted her proudly, but now she is gone
[A] [A7] [D] [A] [A6] [A7]
Gone as the season she's ta--ken.
[D] [Bm] [G] [D]
In a young summer's youth, I stole her away
[Bm] [C] [G]
From her mother and sister, though close did they stay
[D] [Bm] [G] [D]
Each one of them suffering from the failures of their day
[A] [D]
With strings of guilt they tried hard to guide us.
[D] [Bm] [G] [D]
Of the two sisters, I loved the young
[Bm] [C] [G]
With sensitive instincts, she was the creative one
[D] [Bm] [G] [D]
The constant scrapegoat, she was easily undone
[A] [D]
By the jealousy of others around her.
[D] [Bm] [G] [D]
For her parasite sister, I had no respect
[Bm] [C] [G]
Bound by her boredom, her pride to protect
[D] [Bm] [G] [D]
Countless visions of the other she'd reflect
[A] [D]
As a crutch for her scenes and her society.
[D] [Bm] [G] [D]
Myself, for what I did, I cannot be excused
[Bm] [C] [G]
The changes I was going through can't even be used
[D] [Bm] [G] [D]
For the lies that I told her in hopes not to lose
[A] [D]
The could-be dream-lover of my lifetime.
[D] [Bm] [G] [D]
With unseen consciousness, I possessed in my grip
[Bm] [C] [G]
A magnificent mantelpiece, though its heart being chipped
[D] [Bm] [G] [D]
Noticing not that I'd already slipped
[A] [A7] [D]
To a sin of love's false security.
[D] [Bm] [G] [D]
From silhouetted anger to manufactured peace
[Bm] [C] [G]
Answers of emptiness, voice vacancies
[D] [Bm] [G] [D]
Till the tombstones of damage read me no question but, "Please
[A] [A7] [D]
What's wrong and what's exactly the matter?"
[D] [Bm] [G] [D]
And so it did happen, like it could have been foreseen
[Bm] [C] [G]
The timeless explosion of fantasy's dream
[D] [Bm] [G] [D]
At the peak of the night, the king and the queen
[A] [D]
Tumbled all down into pieces.
[D] [Bm] [G] [D]
"The tragic figure" her sister did shout
[D] [Bm] [C] [G]
"Leave her alone, God damn you, get out"
[D] [Bm] [G] [D]
And I in my armour, turning about
[A]
And nailing her in the ruins of her pettiness.
[D] [Bm] [G] [D]
Beneath a bare light bulb the plaster did pound
[Bm] [C] [G]
Her sister and I in a screaming battleground
[D] [Bm] [G] [D]
And she in between, the victim of sound
[A] [D]
Soon shattered as a child to the shadows.
[D] [Bm] [G] [D]
All is gone, all is gone, admit it, take flight
[Bm] [C] [G]
I gagged in contradiction, tears blinding my sight
[D] [Bm] [G] [D]
My mind it was mangled, I ran into the night
[A] [D]
Leaving all of love's ashes behind me.
[D] [Bm] [G] [D]
The wind knocks my window, the room it is wet
[Bm] [C] [G]
The words to say I'm sorry, I haven't found yet
[D] [Bm] [G] [D]
I think of her often and hope whoever she's met
[A] [D]
Will be fully aware of how precious she is.
[D] [Bm] [G] [D]
Ah, my friends from the prison, they ask unto me
[Bm] [C] [G]
"How good, how good does it feel to be free"?
[D] [Bm] [G] [D]
And I answer them most mysteriously
[A] [A7] [D]
"Are birds free from the chains of the skyway"?
