Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][G][Bm]

[Verse 1]
[C]Plantin' lemon trees
since I was twenty- three
Wash away [G]a foot to grow
facilitates the [Bm]bittersweet
[G]No [Bm]matter what I d[C]id
No matter what [G]I d[Bm]id
[C]I was hard headed to
the ninth degree
Punch and push away [G]anything I thought
would make a [Bm]mess of [G]me
[Bm]That's just what [C]I did
That's just what [G]I d[Bm]id

[Verse 2]
[C]Made me [D]die, [C]made me mel[D]t
[G]You've changed the[Bm] way I felt
[C]With your [D]touch, [C]with your hel[D]p

[Verse 3]
[G]You took a pessimist[Bm] and turned
me into somethin' [C]else
You're all I see in my [G]mind
I think I [Bm]see [C]a lifetime
Done holdin' on to myself
[G]You took a pessimist and turned
[C]me into somethin' else
Painlessly caught in your eyes
[G]I think I see[Bm] a li[C]fetime
Done holdin' on to myself
[G]You took a pessimist and tur[Bm]ned me

[Interlude 1]
into somethin' else
[C][G][Bm]

[Verse 4]
[C]You made me believe this
ain't no make- believe
I'll stop checkin' [G]horoscopes to
cope with all my [Bm]misery[G]
[Bm]That's just what [C]you did
That's just what [G]you did, [Bm]yeah

[Verse 5]
[C]Made me [D]die, [C]made me mel[D]t
[G]You've cha[Bm]nged the way I fel[D]t
[C]With your [D]touch, [C]with your hel[D]p

[Verse 6]
[G]You took a pes[C]simist and turned
me into somethin' else
You're all I see in my [G]mind
I think I [Bm]see [C]a lifetime
Done holdin' on to myself
[G]You took a pessimist and tur[Bm]ned
me into somethin' [C]else
Painlessly caught in your [G]eyes
I think I [Bm]see [C]a lifetime
Done holdin' on to myself
[G]You took a pessimist and tur[Bm]ned me

[Interlude 2]
into somethin' else
[C][G][Bm]

[Verse 7]
[C]Made me die, made me [G]melt
You've changed [Bm]the way I felt
[C]With your touch, with your help
You showed me what it means to [A]fall in
[Em]deep like no one [C]else (hey)

[Verse 8]
You're all I [C]see in my mind
[G](in my mind)
I think I [Bm]see a [C]lifetime (a lifetime)
Done holdin' on to myself (to myself)
[G]You took a pessimist and tur[Bm]ned
me into somethin' [C]else
Painlessly caught in your eye
[G]s (in your eyes)
I think I [Bm]see [C]a lifetime (a lifetime)
Done holdin' on to myself (to myself)
[G]You took a pessimist and
[Bm]turned me into somethin' else
