as I Dgo down the drain, BI appear missing now.

AI go F#mmissing, Eno longer C#mexist B

AOne day, F#mI hope, EI'm someone you'd mC#miss B

AShock me aF#mwake, tear me C#mapart

Pinned like a Dnote inside a hospital gown

A Deeper F#masleep, furtherC#m down

The rabbit Dhole never to be Afound

C#m It's only falling in Dlove because you hit the Aground

C#mBDE

C#mB

C#mDancing on wire with Bboth ends on fire

D Cut me Eloose

C#mNowhere to run, no more Broom to pretend

WDandering along the Eroad in the summer nAight

AI go F#mmissing, Eno longer C#mexist B

AOne day, F#mI hope, EI'm someone you'd mC#miss B

AShock me aF#mwake, tear me C#mapart

Pinned like a Dnote inside a hospital gown

A Deeper F#masleep, furtherC#m down

The rabbit Dhole never to be Afound

E With my toes on the C#medge, it's such a Blovely Aview F#m

E I never loved anC#mything until BI loved Ayou F#m

E I'm over the C#medge, what Bcan I Ado? F#m

E I haven't a C#mthing unless BI have Ayou F#m

E With my toes on the C#medge, it's such a Blovely Aview F#m
