Intro -x4-: Eb Ab

Verse:
Ab                   Eb
Oh fair and flighty love
   Cm        Eb
My aerolite above
                Gm
The only dove I see

Ab                 Eb
Could you love me more
          Cm              Eb
If by the sun and moon I swore
                   Gm
That I would never flee?

Chorus:
       Ab                 Eb
-Well- I still taste you on my lips
Ab             Gm
Lovely bitter water
Ab                    Eb
The terrible fire of old regret
Bb              Cm
Is honey on my tongue
      Bb
And I know I shouldn't love you
  Ab
I know I shouldn't love you, but I do

Interlude -x2-: Eb Ab

Verse 2:
Ab               Eb
I feel it in my soul
  Cm              Eb
I feel the empty hole
                      Gm
The cup that can't be filled


      Ab             Eb
And I feel it in my blood
       Cm            Eb
In the fire and the flood
                        Gm
The beast that can't be killed

Chorus 2:
Ab            Eb
Even now you mark my steps
Ab             Gm
Lovely bitter water
Ab               Eb
All the days of our delights are
Bb           Cm
Poison in my veins
Bb
I know I shouldn't love you
Ab
I know...

Instrumental -x10-: Eb Ab

Chorus 3:
Eb
I am not a fool entire
Ab                  Eb
No, I know what is coming
Ab              Eb
You'll bury me beneath the trees
Bb                      Cm
I climbed when I was a child
Bb
I know I shouldn't love you
Ab                                Eb
I know I should' love you, but I do
