D7

[Verse 1]
Gm                                                        Cm
She was digging for gold in the bottom of the holes in my pockets
                                                                Gm
But, when she came up for air, she had nothing but dirt in her hands
                                                    Cm
So, with a phantoming gaze, she retired to her speculations
                                                      Eb
Deciding between the dream and the menacing man that I am


[Chorus]
                      Bb        Gm      F
But I was praying we won't be forced to stay

Until our hearts stop beating
D7             Gm    Gm/F   Eb
Too afraid to admit defeat again
                       Bb     Gm
I didn't wanna say it wasn't real
F                                Eb      D7
I would rather stick to thinking I'm too esoteric

[Verse 2]
 Gm                                                  Cm
She perfected the art of dividing her love from her lover
                                                             Gm
But, in the end, I would find she retired her heart from her man
                                                    Cm
And, in a riotous daze, she conspired to forced litigations
                                                         Eb
Deciding to distance herself from the menacing man that I am


[Chorus]
                        Bb        Gm      F
And she was praying we won't be forced to stay

Until our hearts stop beating
D7             Gm    Gm/F   Eb
Too afraid to admit defeat again
                       Bb     Gm
I didn't wanna say it wasn't real
F                                Eb      D7
I was, rather, stuck in thinking I'm too es-o-ter ... Esoteric

[Outro]
                   Bb       Gm       F
Celebrate that we won't be forced to stay

Until our hearts stop beating
D7           Gm    Gm/F   Eb
Unafraid to admit defeat again
                    Bb       Gm
A little closer to something real
F                                      Eb      D7
Still, I just can't fight that feeling I'm too esoteric
