Don't build your world around
G Fmaj7
Volcanoes melt you down
(continue pattern over)
Am
And what I am to you
Fmaj7
Is not real
Am
And what I am to you
Fmaj7
You do not need
Am
And what I am to you
Fmaj7
Is not what you mean to me
Am
You give me miles and miles of mountains
Fmaj7 Am (to intro)
And I ask for the sea
Don't throw yourself like that
In front of me
I kissed your mouth your back
Is that all you need
Don't drag my love around
Volcanoes melt me down
And what I am to you
Is not real
And what I am to you
You do not need
And what I am to you
Is not what you mean to me
You give me miles and miles of mountains
And I ask...
C
What I give to you
E
Is just what I'm going through
Am
This is nothing new
Fmaj7
No, no, just another phase of finding
C
What I really need
E
Is what makes me bleed
Am
Like a new disease
