Lyrics

You always find the way, in rainbows
and I thought that you were safe, but all your cracks showed
and I could wear that dress, you won't look your best
I could get undressed, you'd still look depressed
It's all too much, you're so cold to touch
You don't open up, you don't open up.

Your kisses are not what I wanted,
Your kisses are not what I cry.
Your kisses may be a beautiful art,
But all I ever wanted was your heart,
Right from the start.

You only look into my eyes when I've been cryin'
To see if the tears that you have made are slowly dryin'
Oh, but even if they've dried,
it don't mean that I'm, feelin' ok cause I'm still sad inside,
All I really need, is you to comfort me
You don't understand, you don't hold my hand.

Your kisses are not what I wanted,
You kisses are not what I cry,
Your kisses may be a beautiful art,
But all I ever wanted was your heart.
Right from the start.

Then I see, that I'm not the only one, in your life
And I start to wonder what this girl, she might be like.
And I bet she don't look at stars in the night I bet
She can't sing I bet, she can't write the lyrics
To make your heart beat, sing notes to make you go weak,
The lyrics to make your heart beat, sing notes to make you go weak.

Oh but, Her kisses were just what you wanted
Her kisses are just what you cry
Her kisses may be a beautiful art
But she don't really care about your heart
No she don't really care about you heart
No she don't really care about your
She don't really care about your
She don't really care about your, heart.

Thanks to Logan for his tab which gave me the initial direction for this one. I've
added the bass-note changes and corrected a few of the chords. They're also much
easier to play with the bass-notes with a capo.

It's not as scary as it looks. Just lots of root notes on the chords.

Capo - Fret 1 - All notes are relative to the capo.
