(ver. 1)
The Gaslight Anthem
F          C                                Em
Honey bee, she say I got too much sympathy.  
                   Am       G  F
But I can call her anytime.
                   C                                    Em
And if you're lost and you need a little peace from me,
               Am          G  F
Bring all your trouble by?
           C                    Em
Honey bee, how have I hurt you?
                      Am     G  F
C'mon tell your blues to me.
                    C                         Em
Maybe I should live up there in the curtains,
                Am   G  F
On the wings of Mer-cur-y.

      A                         Em
I was fortunately desperate and turbulently innocent.
F                               C
I was living underneath my body weight.
             A                                 Em
My eyes were swollen green and hazy, sick from grief and hate and envy,
      F                     Em
I was crawling up inside my head.

                    C            G              Am
And all I seemed to find is that everything has chains.
                       F            G         Am
And all this life just feels like a series of dreams.
                   C        G              F
Selected poems and lovers I can't begin to name.
                 C         G                 C
And all in all I find that nothing stays the same.

          Am                              Em
And I was crazy like the moon for you and head over my heels for you.
    F                              C
And never would I change or compro-mise.
    Am                                 Em
But something in my mind does things I can't contain for anything.
F                                              Em
Last night I don't think sleep even touched my eyes.

                    C            G              Am
And all I seemed to find is that everything has chains.
                       F            G         Am
And all this life just feels like a series of dreams.
                   C        G              F
Selected poems and lovers I can't begin to name.
                 C         G                 C
And all in all I find that nothing stays the same.

                    C            G              Am
And all I seem to find is how everything has chains.
                       F            G         Am
And all my life just feels like an idiot dream.
                   C        G              F
Selected poems and lovers I never seen again.
                 C         G                 C
And all in all I find that nothing stays the same.
