[Verse 1]
      Em
I get undertones of sadness
         D
When I think about the moments
        G                       C
That I never got to spend with you
           C
I can't decide
      D
If I love you more in morning
      D
Or I love you more at night
           Em
With it's luminous lux tides
 Em
Maybe in the daylight
G
All its pretty madness
         G
And the complicated status
            C
'Cause the moon don't pick sides
         D
And the sun won't resign
                    Em
Until you're by my side
             Em
Because the longing needs the leaving
         G
And the loving needs the bleeding
          G
And your beauty is a blessing
       C
And I never got to tell you how
   N.C.
I lovе the way my eyes makе
yours look green too

[Chorus]
C                 G
I think we could live forever
Em               D
In each other's faces 'cause I'll
C              G          Em  D
Always see my youth in you
C                G
And if we don't live forever
 Em             D
Maybe one day, we'll trade places
 C                 G
Darling, you will bury me
   Em          D     Em
Before I bury you
   G               C    D
Before I bury you

[Verse 2]
Em
I'll never know
            G
If there's danger in confession
         G
Or it's memory that presses
         C
Like a blade against my throat
         D
Another word and I could choke
D
 But what's worse?
 Em
Tellin' you my feelings
       Em
Or to die without revealing
           G
That you crawled inside my head
           G
And set a fire there instead?
        C
Letting all my insecurity
   D
Devour me with certainty
                     Em
That love is just a currency
                              G
So take my pockets, take me whole
         G
Take my life and take my soul
  C
Wrap me in a wedding ring
             N.C.
You know I swear I'd
give you anything
