[Strum all stings once for each chord]
Fm C#aug
I told you what it wasn't, but it was
A B9
I told you what it wasn't, but it was
Fm
I told you what it wasn't,
C#aug
But it wasn't what I wanted,
A B9
So I threw it all away to make it stop... 2,3,4
[Pick strings 2,3, and 4]
Fm C#aug
Last night I woke up in heaven
A B9
Still seven days in a week
Tomorrow waits at the door, but it don't know
What's gonna make it complete
You know I told you that I was working on it
Even though it's a bore, I'm working on it
Fm C#aug
Couldn't slap it away, but don't you want it?
A B9 C# [slide to strumming] D
Now close your eyes, relax, and let it be
D A
You told me that you wanted a lover
C# D
But another holding your hand
While I was waiting here for the taking
You were faking it on your man
D A C# D
And I don't really know, how you live like a queen
And I don't really know, if you love anything
And I don't really know, if you know what you need
A C#
In a castle, is a hassle
D
That wears down my mind
A
Waiting here until I can move in
C# D
With a lover, expected to find
A
But how can I still really be looking
C# D
With the light still stuck in my eyes
Solo
Last night I woke up in heaven
Still don't know what to do
Word's out that I was working on it
Then everything turned to blue
I'm still waking up in a hurry
I'm still stuck in my bed
Oh, last night, you know, was the trouble
About you I'm always dreaming in red
You told me that you wanted a lover
But another holding your hand
While I was waiting here for the taking
You were faking it on your man
Who I don't really know, but he makes you feel like a queen
And I don't really care, you can always sell back the ring
Cause all I've got is here, it belongs to the king
In a castle, is a hassle
That wears down my mind
In the clover, there's a number
That you can find
1, 2, 3, and 4
You don't knock, you open the door
And it's over when you do not knock anymore
And it's over cause I do not knock anymore
Never more, never more, never more...
Into a castle, still flowing out of my mind
Into a castle, still flowing out of my mind
Into a castle, still flowing out of my mind
