I Only Wanted

Gm              Eb7
Doesn't it ever stay
Am                  D7
Must it always fade away
Gm                 Eb7
Couldn't love ever be
Am                     D7
Something tangible and real
Gm   Cm               Eb7
Farewell, fairweather friend
      Am                D7
Abandonment returns to taunt me 
again

Chorus 1

Gm     Cm            F7
I only wanted you to stay
           Bb       Am        Gm
Linger and mean the words you said
          Cm       F7
Foolishly i romanticized
            Bb     Am              
Someone was saving my life for the 
Gm
first time
       Cm            A
I only wanted you to be there when i
D7                 Gm
Opened up my eyes

  Gm                 Eb7
I was caught in your masquerade
     Am                    D7
Wish i'd stayed beneath my veil
Gm                         Eb7
But it just seemed so easy to
 Am               D7
Open up myself to you
Gm   Cm               Eb7
Once more into the wind
           Am
The embers scatter
        D7
And the chill settles in
