A/C# Aadd11 E
when youre up for it before youve grown

from the faun forever gone
in the towers of your honeycomb
id a tore your hair out just to climb back darling
when youre filling out your only form
can you tell that it ʼ s just ceremon
now youve addEd up to what youre from

wo – oo – ah oh ah oh ah oh
