Intro:  C   F  (F comes in after the third beat on the Ohhh) x 4 

Verse: 

F                   C 
Oh fair and flighty love 
   Am        C 
My aerolite above 
                Em 
The only dove I see 

F                 C 
Could you love me more 
          Am              C 
If by the sun and moon I swore 
                   Em 
That I would never flee? 


       F                 C  
(Well) I still taste you on my lips 
F             Em 
Lovely bitter water 
F                    C 
The terrible fire of old regret 
G              Am 
Is honey on my tongue 
      G                 
And I know I shouldn't love you 
  F                                 
I know I shouldn't love you, but I do 


C   F  x2 (just like intro) 


verse 2: 

F               C 
I feel it in my soul 
  Am              C 
I feel the empty hole 
                      Em 
The cup that can't be filled 

      F             C 
And I feel it in my blood 
       Am            C 
In the fire and the flood 
                        Em 
The beast that can't be killed 


F            C 
Even now you mark my steps 
F             Em 
Lovely bitter water 
F               C 
All the days of our delights are 
G           Am 
Poison in my veins 
G 
I know I shouldn't love you 
F 
I know... 


Instrumental Bridge: 

C   F  x10  (listen to song for rhythm) 


C                 
I am not a fool entire 
F                  C 
No, I know what is coming 
F              C 
You'll bury me beneath the trees 
G                      Am 
I climbed when I was a child 
G 
I know I shouldn't love you 
F                                C        
I know I should' love you, but I do
