Poor boy, I could never live up to your imagination
AbCmEb
Poor boy, I was a crush that killed
AbCmEb
Poor boy, I could never live up to your hallucination
AbCmEb
Poor boy, I was a crush that killed
[Verse 1]
AbCmEbAb
I had a dream that trouble always starts in someone's head
CmEbAb
And dreams are real, when you're asleep you may as well be dead
CmEbAb
I predicate the last ten years on figuring we’d meet
CmEb
After the war, in some strange city on a stranger shore
[Pre-chorus 1]

[Verse 2]
AbCmEbAb
We had a time, if we could have it back over again
CmEbAb
I'd be a force, not so polite and not so delicate
CmEbAb
I'd trot around on velvet socks so I could not be felt
CmEb
I was your fan, waiting for the day when this god will start to
[Pre-chorus 2]

Talk to me, don't venerate me now (I'm not a golden calf to be adored)

See my heart beat, smell my sweet skin

DbEb
If I carry you in my heart
DbEb
Will you ease the pain or make it harder
Bbm7Cm7
I know you like to let me know you're there (poor boy, I could never live up to your imagination)
Bbm7Cm7
If the black clouds come, will you disappear (poor boy, I was a crush)

Is there space in my life for you
Dbm7AbEb
Will I see you tomorrow or will I ride on
[Chorus]
