"A Perfect Sonnet"
by: Bright Eyes
[Verse 1]
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 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
[Pre-Chorus]
F G Am
Cause that's all that you'll get so you'll have to
D(b5)sus2
accept
F G

[Chorus]
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

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
[Bridge]
F G

Am D(b5)sus2
And I breathe with my lungs
F G (Am)
Trying to spare myself the weight of the truth saying
[Verse 2]
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 in a bathtub 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
