Tom: E
B
Didn't I say to you not too recent
It was never gonna stay
It was never gonna stay here
B
You're like the moon in a basket of wheat
You rose out of the roses
Right under my mouth
[Verse 1]
E C#m
A far away cry from this petty little town
B
Shine back, we will notice
Though you never owed us
E C#m
Some passionately painted creatures were meant
B
To descend from the bleachers
Without much more than a promise
E C#m F#m
Well, you got it in your gut stinking
G G#m
I could taste it in your paint
G G#m
When you left and when you came
E B
Like a remarkable mellow feeling
E
But that won't make it remarkable feeling

[Verse 2]
E C#m
Didn't I taste it, feel it and know
B
In so many ways, so many ways
E C#m
The feel of your honey in the corner of my mouth
B
Like a loop around the block
Like a shadow in your notebook
E C#m F#m
Oh c'mon what's based in rhyme doesn't matter
G G#m G G#m
Now we pause the tape for some laughter
E B
I won't accept the conceit any further
E
I will return it to you in a fervor

[Verse 3]
E
My sole cousin told me I was featured in a play
B
I was meant to take the stage, I turned to him okay
E
And in it we drove all night and you smiled so much
B
You got creases on your face, the kind that give you grace
E
And I try to keep cool regardless of what
B
I know to be true, I know to be true
B B B B
You got good timing and you listen blindly
B B B B
You're a street fighter, no prize fighter, well
[Chorus]
E
Desire, desire
B
It was never gonna stay (Never gonna stay)
B
It was never gonna stay (Never gonna stay)
E
Desire, desire
B
It was never gonna stay (Never gonna stay)
B
It was never gonna stay (Never gonna stay)
B B B B
Well, fictions are frightening
B B B B
Like statues in lightning
B B B B
And I wore my boot sole
B B B B
And you gave it a new hole
Well
[Chorus]
E
Desire, desire
B
It was never gonna stay (Never gonna stay)
B
It was never gonna stay (Never gonna stay)
E
Desire, desire
B
It was never gonna stay (Never gonna stay)
B
It was never gonna stay (Never gonna stay)
Alternates between E and B for the rest.
