Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][G][D][G][A][D]

[Verse 1]
So [G]long [A]my mis[D]ery
I don't need [G]you,
you've [A]only caused [D]me grief
[G]Forgive [A]me if I fall [D]asleep
[G]I haven't slept in [A]cen[D]turies

[Verse 2]
[D]Daylight liv[G]es like a b[A]urden for me[D]
So I es[G]cape the sins strewn
[A]about the[D] streets
Beyond the ru[G]ins of my [A]ancestry[D]
Five pairs of [G]pages of my [A]disbelief
[D]

[Verse 3]
I rose from my [G]moat like
[A]a ghost from [D]a grave
Sunken in [G]the salty eyes
of the [A]wandering into [D]space
I was heading though the [G]mists
[A]across the Golden [D]Gate
All of my rebel[G]lions fall
in to [A]the falling fate
[D]

[Verse 4]
So [G]long [A]my mis[D]ery
I don't need [G]you,
you have [A]only caused me [D]grief
Forgive [G]me [A]if I fall asl[D]eep
I [G]haven't slept in [A]centuries
[D]

[Interlude 1]
[G][D][G][A]
[D]

[Verse 5]
[G]Springtime
came and [A]Icarus [D]fell
I flew past [G]the numb lib nuns
[A]who never [D]tell
The secrets of the [G]sailors and
their sev[A]en years [D]spell
I will not [G]fall, nor will my [A]wings ever [D]melt

[Verse 6]
If I [D]could, I would wash [G]all
these [A]wounds [D]away
I would surround your [G]room
with a [A]sinner mans [D]grace
I would paint your por[G]trait over
[A]everything [D]mundane
More col[G]orful than [A]Easter Sunday
[D]

[Verse 7]
So [G]long [A]my mis[D]ery
I don't need [G]you,
you have [A]only caused me [D]grief
For[G]give [A]me if I fall [D]asleep
[G]I haven't slept [A]in centuries
[D]

[Interlude 2]
[G][D][G][A]
[D][G][A][D][G][A]
[D]

[Verse 8]
Put me on [G]a boat
and lead my [A]inhibitions at [D]bay
My mind is spin[G]ning but
[A]I haven't much to [D]say
I was running through [G]the canyons
The [A]echoes of your [D]name
You were laughing at [G]me like
[A]the sun laughs at [D]the flames

[Verse 9]
[G]Put me on a page in a [A]book of begin[D]nings
Let me scroll through [G]old volumes
[A]of age and [D]teachings
Let me revel [G]all of these
[A]forgotten feelings[D]
Lay me with the [G]wretches in
the [A]arms of my queen
[D]

[Verse 10]
So [G]long [A]sweet [D]misery
I don't [G]need you,
you've [A]only caused me [D]grief
[G]Forgive [A]me if I fall [D]asleep
I [G]haven't slept in [A]centuries
[D]

[Verse 11]
So [G]long [A]sweet mis[D]ery
I don't [G]need you,
you've [A]only caused me [D]grief
Forgive [G]me [A]if I fall asl[D]eep
I [G]haven't slept in [A]centuries[D]
No, I [G]haven't slept in [A]centuries[D]
I [G]haven't slept [A]in centuries
[D]
