Lemon

       Am                G         F              C
How I wish this tired tragedy was just a fading dream
      F                    C                D#dim7           E7
Even now wrapped in the darkness you’re the light calling to me
         Am             G           F              C
Dusting off the happy memories a feeling comes to mind
         F            C              G                 C
Like returning to a better time when I had called you mine
       Am                 G                 F             C
It was you who taught me many things and helped me on my way
           F                C                    D#dim7      E7
There’re joys here in this wide world that could never be replaced
         Am              G             F            C
All the pain that I had hid away and buried out of sight
         F            C                G             C
It was only by your gentle touch they ever came to light


[Pre-Chorus]
Dm                  Am
Never more could I feel pain,
G                C
Any more than I did that day

Dm                   Am                    F     G   C
Round and round I’m just stuck in place I can’t get away


[Chorus]
               F                   C                    G            Am
Even all the tears that we were shedding, Even all the pain I try forgetting
                 F            C/E                G              E
I could bear it all if I was with you it won’t matter where we are
            F          C        Bm7b5                       E          Am
Even now I still can smell that bitter sweetened scent of lemon on my heart
          Dm            Am               F        G      D#dim7
Couldn’t take a single step until the clouds and rain had part
         Dm              Am                F      G     C
To this day I’ve never changed you are my only shining star

[Verse]
        Am               G                  F              C
In the dark I closed my eyes and drew the “you” I used to know
    F             C        D#dim7          E7
I recall every emotion even here all on my own
             Am               G        F                 C
But there’s still a looming agony at times I just can’t fight
     F                 C                    E7                Am
I’m alone painting a ghost that leaves me crying through the night

[Pre-Chorus]
Dm                   Am         G                   C
Tell me what did you do today? What was making you look that way?
Dm                Am                  F    G   C
Never once had I seen your face so covered in pain


[Chorus]
                 F              C                       G                     Am
If beyond the raining you are waiting, Reaching for a light that’s gone and fading
                F              C/E               G             E
If the lonely tears are only burning and are smothering your heart
                 F                        C                 Bm7b5    E       Am
Won’t you just forget the fool that’s searching so he could hold you in his arms
       Dm                  Am                  F      G      D#dim7
And I pray that you could keep on walking no matter where you are
        Dm               Am                F      G     C
To this day I’ve never changed you are my only shining star

[Bridge]
F#m   D          E    A
More than I had ever knew
D/F#  A      E         A
I was so in love with you
F#m         D      E     A
Since that time I can’t undo
D/F#     A           E       A
Taking breath just hurts me too

F#m           D       E           A
Even now I sometimes think it’s strange
D/F#       A       E         A
Just how long we spent that way
F#m            D      E           A
But I swear I won’t forget those days
D/F#    A             G     D  F
In my heart they’ll always remain



[Chorus]
               F                   C                    G            Am
Even all the tears that we were shedding, Even all the pain I try forgetting
                 F            C/E                G              E
I could bear it all if I was with you it won’t matter where we are
            F          C        Bm7b5                       E          Am
Even now I still can smell that bitter sweetened scent of lemon on my heart
          Dm            Am               F        G      D#dim7
Couldn’t take a single step until the clouds and rain had part
         Dm         Am                F     G       C
Like a single sour fruit we shared together in the dark
         Dm              Am                F      G     C
To this day I’ve never changed you are my only shining star
