Sugarplum Elegy Chords

Capo fret 5
[Intro]
C A  Dm G
 
 
[Verse]
C            A
Seven months older
              Dm                          G
Air’s getting cold, our bed’s startin’ to creak
C               A
God knows where you are
Am          Dm                      G
I’m here waiting for love through a screen
 
C
You show me the outfit you chose
A                  Am
For the dinner and tonight’s show
Dm                      G
Must be nice to be your clothes
 
C
Second to none even at your worst
A                          Am
Sometimes I wish you’d put me first
Dm                     G
Nowadays you’re such a blur
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
F       G              Am                            G
We keep dancing around the innocent truth that we’re just...
 
 
[Chorus]
G      C     A
Out of time (ooh)
Dm                    G     C      A
Must I die before you feel alive? (ooh)
  Dm                     G
A curse in a graceful disguise
 
Dm             F
I love you too much to stay in love
 
 
[Verse]
C           A                     Dm
How are you darling? How are you, really?
        G
How was Taiwan? (you never say)
C              A                             Dm
Thanks for the flowers, but you’ve been here hours
                      G
Yet your coat’s still very much on
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
F         G          Am                       G
Tiptoein’ around the bitter truth but we both know...
 
 
[Chorus]
G         C     A
It's just time (ooh)
Dm                    G     C      A
Must I die before you feel alive? (ooh)
  Dm                     G
A curse in a graceful disguise
 
 
[Outro]
Dm            G            Am
Great was our love, it was one for the books
Dm             G            C
We gave it the best that we could
Dm          G             E             Am            Dm  G
But I won’t recite all my lines just to watch you and I...lie
 
Dm             F
I’m so proud I got to love you once
 
C A  Dm G
