Through most of the song or just play E A
[Verse]
E A
Was it wise to believe that
E
My sweetness would last?
A
Those summer nights we spent dreaming
E
In the tall grass
A
Behind your parent's home
E
Nothing good passed
[Verse]
A
Was it wise to imagine
E
Our future home?
A
And the vegetable garden
E
We'd somehow grow
[Verse]
A
Though I've killed nearly every plant
E
I've ever owned
A
And though I've outgrown your love
E
Still thought you should know
[Verse]
A
You were a fool for leaving
E
Your shoes out in the rain
A
When from the depths of the forest
E
Crawled a scorpion
[Verse]
A
And in the morning
E
Your cries were heard by every Panamanian
A
You were a fool for falling
E
For a cynic like me
A
If you wanted someone harmless
E
Baby, that ain't me
[Bridge]
A
Oh I'm pinching
E
Every sweet thing that I see
A
And your kindness
E
Intimidates me
[Instrumental]
A B A B x2
E
[Outro]
A
Even the memory of
F#
The sweetest love that I have known
A
Has been menaced by the venom
E
Of my cynicism
