Desire

B
Didn't I say to you not too recent

It was never gonna stay

It was never gonna stay here
B
You're like the moon in a basket of 
wheat

You rose out of the roses

Right under my mouth


[Verse 1]
E                            
A far away cry from this petty 
         C#m
little town
B
Shine back, we will notice

Though you never owed us
E                                 
Some passionately painted 
       C#m
creatures were meant
B
To descend from the bleachers

Without much more than a promise
E                          
Well, you got it in your gut 
    C#m  F#m
stinking
        G G#m
I could taste it in your paint
         G G#m
When you left and when you came
E                         B
Like a remarkable mellow feeling
E
But that won't make it remarkable 
feeling

[Verse 2]
E                              C#m
Didn't I taste it, feel it and know
B
In so many ways, so many ways
E                                 
The feel of your honey in the 
         C#m
corner of my mouth
Continues after the ad
Remove ads
B
Like a loop around the block

Like a shadow in your notebook
E                            
Oh c'mon what's based in rhyme 
          C#m  F#m
doesn't matter
       G G#m                 
Now we pause the tape for some 
     G G#m
laughter
E                            
I won't accept the conceit any 
  B
further
E
I will return it to you in a fervor

[Verse 3]
E
My sole cousin told me I was 
featured in a play
B
I was meant to take the stage, I 
turned to him okay
E
And in it we drove all night and you
 smiled so much
B
You got creases on your face, the 
kind that give you grace
E
And I try to keep cool regardless of
 what
B
I know to be true, I know to be true
        B    B              B     
You got good timing and you listen 
 B
blindly
         B      B           B     
You're a street fighter, no prize 
B
fighter, well


[Chorus]
E
Desire, desire
B
It was never gonna stay (Never gonna
 stay)
B
It was never gonna stay (Never gonna
 stay)
E
Desire, desire
B
It was never gonna stay (Never gonna
 stay)
B
It was never gonna stay (Never gonna
 stay)

      B   B        B      B
Well, fictions are frightening
     B  B       B    B
Like statues in lightning
    B B       B    B
And I wore my boot sole
        B    B    B   B
And you gave it a new hole

Well


[Chorus]
E
Desire, desire
B
It was never gonna stay (Never gonna
 stay)
B
It was never gonna stay (Never gonna
 stay)
E
Desire, desire
B
It was never gonna stay (Never gonna
 stay)
B
It was never gonna stay (Never gonna
 stay)

Alternates between E and B for the 
rest.
