narcissus

[Intro]
Am C F
How you fell in love with your reflection in the water, I will never know
Am C F
How you could mistreat such a wife and a daughter, I will never know

[Verse]
Am C
You leaned so close the water touched your nose
F E
A grieving, your eyes, they could see it from below

Am
The ones who came before
C
Who waded from the shore
F
And plunged into the cold and murky world
E
And see no more

[Chorus]
Am
Oh, you think I’m a narcissist
C
Then I don’t want a part in this
F
And I don’t care if I made these bodies
E
Who think that they can take this from me

Am
Narcissus
C
I don’t want a part in this
F E
And I don’t care

[Verse]
Am C
So much of what you say is old
F
You made me, yes, that’s true
E E7 E
But I’ll be damned if I belong to you

Am
Too fair, the daffodil
C
I hear the laughing still
F
Of what could have been
E
Had you not turned to sin

Am
Too fair, the daffodil
C
I hear the laughing still
F
Of what could have been
E
Had you not dived right in

[Chorus]
Am
Oh, you are a narcissist
C
You think I want a part in this?
F
And I don’t care that you made my body
E
You think you own it wrongly
Am
Narcissus
C
I won’t take pity
F
I’ll pluck the flowers from the shore
E
And you can stay there evermore

[Instrumental]

Evermore

[Chorus]
Am
Oh, you are a narcissist
C
I never wanted part in this (I hear the laughing still)
F
And I don’t care that you made my body
E
You think you own it wrongly
Am
Narcissus
C
I won’t take pity
F
I’ll pluck the flowers from the shore
E
And you can stay there
Am C
Evermore
F E
