Dreams of sun
Now as the rain falls like shattered pieces of glass from the sky
We bleed like water colors and drunken pastels down the stairways
And I asked myself
"Why do i still pray"
(when will it end)
And who f***ing cares
Am
And i swear to God
Am
I did what I could
G
I practically begged you
Em Am
I pretended everything was fine
Am
A soul sacrifice
G
An American nightmare
Em
I'd rather be dead
(back to normal progression)
Don't rain on my parade
It's gonna glow in the dark
I like it better when you can't keep warm
Don't ruin a perfect thing
A perfect thing
The boy on the blue moon
Hears a nightmare
In his head
I'll bet you money as you're running to the bathroom
You barely started drinking but your beauty never stopped you
You died in California by the sulfur and the sea
I guess I never should've loved you
But I do forever because you loved me
And i'll break my glasses as i fall in the street
If you were gonna leave this world how could it be without me
Now it's all over my tongue and still it has no taste
Because without you
There is no me
There's no me
At all
Sometimes love
Love dies
Dies like a
Love dies like a DOG
So why don't we just let this one take care of itself
Don't rain on my parade
It's gonna glow in the dark
I like it better when you can't keep warm
Don't ruin a perfect thing
A perfect thing
The boy on the blue moon
Dreams
Don't rain on my parade
Woah -oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-no-oh-oh-oh
I'm losing a perfect thing
A perfect thing
A perfect thing
