[Verse 1]
Bb7 Eb Ebm
Haven't been awake since I left Holland
Bb7 Eb Ebm Bb
Life is but a dream so I keep rowing canals
Eb Ebm
It's deceiving how the houses are built
Bb Eb Ebm
You'd never know how much space they can fill
[Chorus 1]
Bb
It's hard to end
Cm Eb Bb
I am crude and sweet in bed
Cm Eb Bb
I am gentle in a dress
Cm Eb Bb
I have a beating in my breast
Cm
It's hard to end
Eb Bb
It's hard to end
Cm
It's hard to end
N.C.
It's hard
[Verse 2]
Bb Eb Ebm
The world is pretty when I'm up high
Bb Cm Gm B
All the ugly things look nice drifting by
Bb Eb Ebm
The world is easy when I get high
Bb Cm B
I play those jukebox songs and wait to die
[Verse 3]
Bb7 Eb Ebm
The street musicians played in time with each other
Bb7 Eb Ebm Bb
Up through the window frame where we both discover canals
Eb
The scent of pastry carts hangs in the air
Bb Eb Ebm
The children throw their coins into the rivière
[Verse 4]
Bb7 Eb Ebm
A kiss can taste so sweet like apples and wine
Bb7
And disappear as quick
Eb B
A girl from another time
[Chorus 2]
Bb
Balloons balloons
Cm Eb Bb
They are always rising up
Cm Eb Bb
I am never quite enough
Cm Eb
Sinking down to earth
Bb
It's tough
Cm
To get back up
Eb Bb
To get back up
Cm
To get back up
N.C.
It's tough
[Verse 5]
Bb Eb Ebm
The world is pretty when I'm up high
Bb Cm Gm B
All the ugly things look nice drifting by
Bb Eb Ebm
The world is easy when I get high
Bb Cm B
I play those jukebox songs and wait to die
B
and wait to die
