[Verse 1]
FFirst loves don't leave you, the needles & pins
My phantom limb likes to cry full of gin
A A#She's a molten mistake, lightning blue at the wake
CShe just hangs tight
Gm7And I meant what I said at the foothills
Fmaj7Won't you walk me, talk with me, give me tonight
Gm7Ancient ruins bullied by sky scraper lights
Fmaj7Hungry & homeless I creep into the glow of it's
ALonely, dying flame,
[Chorus]
DI think I want to
G ABe the memory that you turn to
Bm A DWhen you're drunk and your empty 'cause you're mine
G ABut at the same time I want to forget you
Bm ATake a gun to the mantle
D GAnd spin myself into a storm of grey skies
A Bm AI'll climb all the trees and I'll pray for a lightning strike
D G ATamed into numbness, it's what I have become since
Bm A GThe person you recognise
[Verse 2 - yours truly]
Fmaj7First loves conditioned like poisonous fate
With optimism we just contradict
A A#Was I just your mistake, cinnamon to the taste
CBitter but graceful
Gm7You know I meant what I said in the moment
Fmaj7But now I'm pendulum sentiments, swaying while I cry
Gm7Destined for abattoirs, lovers only live
Fmaj7A penny for your thoughts, I would kill for a kiss
ALonely, dying flame,
[Chorus 2]
D I think I want to
G ABe the memory that you turn to
Bm A DWhen you're drunk and your empty 'cause you're mine
G ABut at the same time I want to forget you
Bm ATake a gun to the mantle
D GAnd spin myself into a storm of grey skies
A Bm AI'll climb all the trees and I'll pray for a lightning strike
D G ATamed into numbness, it's what I have become since
Bm A GThe person you recognise
[Verse 3 - both]
FFirst loves are lethal, dilute all you like
Reticent discontent laboured in stride
Dm A# CHear the acid rain dripping down the water pipes to the ocean floor
Gm7And I meant what I said you're an angel
Fmaj7You were sent to me, carefully right at the time
Gm7That I needed a petal to throw into the fire
Fmaj7Something pretty and impermanent that I could admire
ALonely, dying flame,
[Chorus 3]
DI think I want to
G ABe the memory that you turn to
Bm A DWhen you're drunk and your empty 'cause you're mine
G ABut at the same time I want to forget you
Bm ATake a gun to the mantle
D GAnd spin myself into a storm of grey skies
A Bm AI'll climb all the trees and I'll pray for a lightning strike
D G ATamed into numbness, it's what I have become since
Bm AThe person you recognise
G
