[Intro Chorus]
E G#
Once I was happy in happy extremes.
C#m Gdim7 C7 B7
These bitter tokens are worthless to me.
[Verse 1]
Amaj7 B9
So you appear and say how I've grown,
Amaj7 B9
And fill me up with faces I've known.
Amaj7 B9
In this light they're far from divine,
Amaj7
I've saved them up,
B7 B9
I'll spend them when I have
Emaj7 E7 Amaj7*
time.
[Verse 2]
Emaj7 Emaj13 Amaj7
The salted taste of all your tears and woes,
Emaj7 Emaj13 Amaj7
Sent me in haste, my melancholy rose,
G#7 C#m
Those tasteless lips were closed,
F#m G#m A B7
You watched me come, now see me go.
[Chorus]
E G#7
Once I was happy in happy extremes,
C#m Gdim7 C7 B7
Packing my bags for the path of the free.
E G#7
From pillar to post I am driven, it seems.
C#m Gdim7 C7 B7
These bitter tokens are worthless to me.
[Verse 3]
Amaj7 B9
Just like June, the curtains are closed
Amaj7 B9
The ghost of shame, he sits here and sighs.
Amaj7 B9
I'll love the flames like I loved the cold
Amaj7 B7
I'll learn to love the life
B7
Of the "Could I, could I,
Emaj7 E7 Amaj7*
could I"
[Verse 4]
Emaj7 Emaj13 Amaj7
So I won't cross my fingers any more
Emaj7 Emaj13
You looked for rags,
Amaj7
And found them at your door,
G#7 C#m
How could you ask for more
F#m G#m A B7
Than every thing you've heard before?
[Chorus]
E G#7
Once I was happy in happy extremes,
C#m Gdim7 C7 B7
Packing my bags for the path of the free.
E G#7
From pillar to post I am driven, it seems.
C#m Gdim7 C7 B7
These bitter tokens are worthless to me.
