lyrics

Countess I Fear Something’s Wrong
F A Bb
Ok set sail. You stuck bird on the beach with a salted tail
Db F Dm
Ever hear the one about the nightingale.
Bb C C/wC# bass
That gave blood to a rose and then died

The cut your song out. With pinking shears and rusted years

They gauged and gauzed it.

I press to make repeat then I scan and pause it.

I still hear your voice in my eyes
Dm Gm Bb
Now with nothing to write go flick out the light
A
You traveled too far
Burn your bridges, refrain you’ve reached middle 8
Your solo’s too long
F G Bbm
They stole your song, they stole your song
Bbm F
Countess I fear something’s wrong
They stole your song, they stole your song

At the dentists. You wholly want the pain sing Come and Get it
For nothing could be worse than the deep regret. The scars and the hurt in your eyes
A once upon a I had the staff of Moses and your Red sea parted
But now you lost the lyrics to my favorite sonnet
It's funny your words never rhyme.
Now with nothing to write go flick out the light
You traveled too far
Burn your bridges, refrain you’ve reached middle 8
Your solo’s too long

They stole your song, they stole your song
Countess I fear something’s wrong
They stole your song, they stole your song
Countess I fear something’s wrong

Dm Gm Gm/G#bass Dm
Now I lay you down and watch you wash away for all time
Oh, now with nothing to write go flick out the light
You traveled too far
Burn your bridges, refrain you’ve reached middle 8
Your solo’s too long
They stole your song, they stole your song
They stole your song, they stole your song
They stole your song, they stole your song
Countess I fear something’s wrong
They stole your song, they stole your song
Countess I fear something’s wrong
Bm F
Countess I fear something’s wrong
Countess I fear something’s wrong
Countess I fear something’s wrong

End part "Countess Carnival"

"Now I lay you down and wash away the time"
(Lay you I)
