Intro Chorus
E G#
Once I was happy in happy extremes.
C#m Gº7 C7 B7
These bitter tokens are worthless to me.
verse 1
A7M B9
So you appear and say how I've grown,
A7M B9
And fill me up with faces I've known.
A7M B9
In this light they're far from divine,
A7M
I've saved them up,
B7 B9
I'll spend them when I have
E7M E7
time.
verse 2
E7M E13M A7M
The salted taste of all your tears and woes,
E7M E13M A7M
Sent me in haste, my melancholy rose,
G#7 C#m
Those tasteless lips were closed,
F#m G#m A B7
You watched me come, now see me go.
E G#7
Once I was happy in happy extremes,
C#m Gº7 C7 B7
Packing my bags for the path of the free.
E G#7
From pillar to post I am driven, it seems.
C#m Gº7 C7 B7
These bitter tokens are worthless to me.
verse 3
A7M B9
Just like June, the curtains are closed
A7M B9
The ghost of shame, he sits here and sighs.
A7M B9
I'll love the flames like I loved the cold
A7M B7
I'll learn to love the life
B7
Of the "Could I, could I,
E7M E7
could I"
verse 4
E7M E13M A7M
So I won't cross my fingers any more
E7M E13M
You looked for rags,
A7M
And found them at your door,
G#7 C#m
How could you ask for more
F#m G#m A B7
Than every thing you've heard before?
E G#7
Once I was happy in happy extremes,
C#m Gº7 C7 B7
Packing my bags for the path of the free.
E G#7
From pillar to post I am driven, it seems.
C#m Gº7 C7 B7
These bitter tokens are worthless to me.
