[Intro]
C Em7 F G C Am Dm7 G (x2)
[Verse 1]
C Em7 F
I've been looking for love in all the wrong
G
places
C Am F G
Seeing your eyes in strangers' faces
C Em7 F G
Searching for God in all of my vices
C Am Dm7 G
Staying out till the sunlit rises
[Chorus]
F G
I, I light a cigarette
Am
Call myself a cab
F G C
If only you were here, it wouldn't be so bad
F Fm
Why do I always want the things that I can't
Em
have?
G7sus4 G
It's so sad
[Verse 2]
C Em7 F
I've been dancing all night and my feet are
G
hurting
C Am Dm7 G
Taking the pills, but they're still not working
C Em7 F G
Trying to get by in this lonely city
C Am Dm7 G
I'm leaving tonight, do you wanna come with me?
[Chorus]
F G
I, I know this little place
Am
That we could go relax
F G
Walk and run our fingers through the tips of the
C
tall grass
F Fm
Why do I always want the things that I can't
Em
have?
Dm7 G
It's so sad
[Bridge]
Fm C
Storms start to rise
Fm C
Helicopters are in the skies
Am Em
I feel this joy, but then it dies
F E
Why doesn't anybody realise
Am F C
We're on the edge of paradise
G Am F C G
We're on the edge of paradise
[Verse 3]
C Em7 F G
I've been staring at screens, my eyes are aching
C Am Dm7 G
Losing my faith in this world we're making
C Em7 F G
Listening to my father scream and
C Am Dm7 G
Laid on the bathroom floor just dreaming
[Chorus]
F G
Of a time, a time we will look back
Am
On all of this and laugh
F G C
And slowly piece together all the bits of broken glass
[Outro]
F Fm Em
Why do I always want all the things I can't have?
Dm7 G
It's so sad
C
