Intro Chorus 
E                  G# 
Once I was happy in happy extremes. 
C#m          Gdim7      C7           B7 
These bitter tokens are worthless to me. 

verse 1 
Amaj7             B9 
So you appear and say how I've grown, 
Amaj7               B9 
And fill me up with faces I've known. 
Amaj7                 B9 
In this light they're far from divine, 
Amaj7 
I've saved them up, 
     B7           B9 
I'll spend them when I have 
Emaj7    E7   Amaj7* 
time. 

verse 2 
Emaj7      Emaj13    Amaj7 
The salted taste of all your tears and woes, 
Emaj7      Emaj13    Amaj7 
Sent me in haste, my melancholy rose, 
G#7                       C#m 
Those tasteless lips were closed, 
    F#m        G#m       A      B7 
You watched me come, now see me go. 

 
E                   G#7 
Once I was happy in happy extremes, 
C#m       Gdim7        C7           B7 
Packing my bags for the path of the free. 
     E                   G#7 
From pillar to post I am driven, it seems. 
C#m           Gdim7     C7           B7 
These bitter tokens are worthless to me. 


verse 3 
Amaj7               B9 
Just like June, the curtains are closed 
Amaj7                 B9 
The ghost of shame, he sits here and sighs. 
Amaj7                    B9 
I'll love the flames like I loved the cold 
Amaj7                   B7 
I'll learn to love the life 
B7 
Of the "Could I, could I, 
Emaj7        E7     Amaj7* 
could I" 

verse 4 
Emaj7      Emaj13    Amaj7 
So I won't cross my fingers any more 
Emaj7           Emaj13 
You looked for rags, 
Amaj7 
And found them at your door, 
    G#7               C#m 
How could you ask for more 
     F#m   G#m          A   B7 
Than every thing you've heard before? 

 
E                   G#7 
Once I was happy in happy extremes, 
C#m        Gdim7        C7          B7 
Packing my bags for the path of the free. 
     E                   G#7 
From pillar to post I am driven, it seems. 
C#m          Gdim7      C7            B7 
These bitter tokens are worthless to me.
