A
I
A
lit a thin green
Bm
candle
Bm
D
to make you
D
jealous of m
A
e
A
but the
A
room just filled
A
up with mos
Bm
quitoes
Bm
they h
D
eard that my
D
body was fr
E
ee.
E
Then I
F#m
took the d
F#m
ust of a
C#m
long sleepless
C#m
night
and I
D
put it in
D
your little s
A
hoe
A
and t
Bm
hen I con
Bm
fess that I
G
tortured the
G
dress
that you w
Bm
ore for the w
A
orld to look t
G
hrough.
G
A
A
A
A
I
A
showed my heart to the d
Bm
octor
Bm
D
he said I'd
D
just have to
A
quit
A
then h
A
e wrote him
A
self a per
Bm
scription
Bm
and
D
your name was
D
mentioned in i
E
t.
E
Then
F#m
he locked
F#m
himself in a
C#m
library
C#m
shelf
with the
D
details
D
of our honey
A
moon
A
and I
Bm
hear from the
Bm
nurse
that he's
G
gotten much
G
worse
and his
Bm
practice is
A
all in a
G
ruin.
G
A
A
A
A
I
A
heard of a saint who had
Bm
loved yo
Bm
u
So I
D
studied all
D
night in his
A
school
A
he
A
taught that
A
the duty of
Bm
lovers
Bm
is to
D
tarnish
D
the golden
E
rule.
E
And just
F#m
when I was s
F#m
ure
C#m
C#m
that his
C#m
teachings were
C#m
pure
he d
Bm
rowned him
Bm
self in the
A
pool
A
his
Bm
body is gone
Bm
but back
G
here on the
G
lawn
his
Bm
spirit con
A
tinues to
G
drool.
