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?


Chorus:

    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


Chorus 2:

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)


Chorus 3:

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
