Innocence was our fire
C           Em
We told the truth
C           Em               Am
I miss the sweet boys in the summer of their youth

They will make you so, so cynical
C         Em
The fire burns the flesh
Am
Destroyed the best and made us old

C         Em
She's the grace of this world
C         Em           C             Em
She's too pure for the likes of this world

This world is a whore

E         A
And hell is all mine

C       E
I never knew what I could be
C               E
All the darling buds of May
F              A
They fall with no sound
F              D
They carry you down
F              D
They carry you down

C              Em
All the lilies bloomed and blossomed
C                  Em
Wilted and they're shivering
C                  Em
I can't stop their withering
Am
Oh, this world is a war

Tear the petals off of you
