D              A                  G
    You made a foolish offer
                  Bm        
I met you in between
D                A                    G
    What doesn't make you softer
                    Bm
Can only make you mean

      D               G
And I want you to be aware of me 
       D                    Bm
'Cause I got a big heart to feed
           A
There was ringing in my ears
         G                  D A G Bm
Though I heard no melody

D A G Bm

D                A                  G
    Tore a page from your diary
                    Bm        
Put it on the windowsill
D                A                   G
    To trace the lilacs blooming
                            Bm
But none of them could stay still

        D          G
And you want me to haunt you
    D                          Bm
But you started sprouting your wings
        A
I could lie to love you
    G                         D A G Bm
But my mockingbird's gonna sing

D A G Bm

D                  A                   G
     We'll want to cast salvation
                      Bm        
That only love can inspire
D              A                G
    But all of our creation
               Bm
Got lost in a fire

       D               G
And at last, I've gone crazy
    D                       Bm
But I'm gonna bring 'em all down
       A
Like a cat on my tongue
       G                            D
When I heard you were back in town
