E G# A F#m7
She sold herself on the one love
E G# A F#m7
The one that most of us live without
E G# Bm A
And dressed for the occasion day after day
E G# A F#m7
Forgives herself when it don't come
[Pre-Chorus]
G#m E
I have always found it
G#m E
Easier to dream about it
G#m A
Careful of the stitches
F#m A
Insisted there was more than this
[Chorus]
E G# A F#m7
But I lost myself, I cannot speak
N.C. E G# A F#m7
To live by myself I'm far too weak
N.C. E G# A F#m7
I have lost myself, I cannot sleep
E G# A F#m7
To live by myself I'm far too meek
[Verse II]
E G# A F#m7
Went bold as hell for the one love
E G# A F#m7
The one that most of us read about
E G# Bm A
And caressed all the persuaders day after day
E G# A F#m7
Relieves herself when it don't come
[Pre-Chorus]
G#m E
By the things you're saying
G#m E
It's easier to turn the blame in
G#m A
Careful of the stitches
F#m A
Insisted there was more than this
[Chorus]
E G# A F#m7
But I lost myself, I cannot speak
N.C. E G# A F#m7
To live by myself I'm far too weak
N.C. E G# A F#m7
I have lost myself, I cannot sleep
E G# A F#m7
To live by myself I'm far too meek
[Solo]
E G# A F#m7 (x4)
[Verse III]
E G# A F#m7
She sold herself on the one love
E G# A F#m7
The one that all of them scream about
E G# A F#m7
She's broke her wings on the one love
E G# A F#m7
Her heart was warm but it's burn she wants
[Pre-Chorus]
G#m E
I have always found it
G#m E
Easier to skirt around it
G#m A
Careful of the stitches
F#m A
she insisted there was more than this
[Chorus]
E G# A F#m7
But I lost myself, I cannot speak
N.C. E G# A F#m7
To live by myself I'm far too weak
N.C. E G# A F#m7
I have lost myself, I cannot sleep
E G# A F#m7
To live by myself I'm far too meek
[Breakdown]
E G# A F#m7 (x2)
