Lullaby

C
You know, it’s sad
Cmaj7
You used to have
F Fm
This glint in your eye

C
Specks of gold

Left untold
F
Charismatic, sublime
Fm
Enigmatic sometimes

C Em
But I didn’t mind
Am F C
I used to fall in love every time I looked in your eyes
Am F
As they got me high
C F
Off you

C G
All those quiet nights, veiled in the dim glow of the moonlight
F Fm
Just you and me, as our minds ran free
C
You told me tales of the sea
Em
As we waltzed to Tchaikovsky
F
Unraveling our secrets
Fm
Like your love for maple syrup

C G
And I never minded
Am F C Em
‘Cause you were everything I ever dreamed of when I sleep at night
Am F
My heart was high
C G
Off you

Am F
Am I deranged to miss you?
C G
After the way you left my heart blue and bruised
Am F C
Lingering scents of roses and smoke and love and hope
G
And two adventurous souls

Am F
You were a bottle of poison
C G
I guzzled in the blink of an eye

F Fm C
And the most twisted part is I still wrote you a lullaby

Em
As the sun crawls back and the darkness overtakes
F Fm
I look at the moon, my mind a monsoon

C Em
Memories ruthlessly
F
Throwing darts at my heart
Fm
We were fine at the start

C Em
Gave you trust, but you were just
Am F
Another demon, an angelic drug

C Em
My happiness:
Am F
What a fun game it was
C
For you

Am F
Am I deranged to miss you?
C G
After the way you left my heart blue and bruised
Am F C
My clothes still smell like smoke and love and hope
G
And wafts of a love-drunk soul
