D                             A
Holding on, love’s poor grip , so it ends, no clarity
Bm                                     G
It’s quite odd, I can’t help but think, true happiness is found alone
D                             A
Holding on, life’s poor grip, so it ends, too easily
Bm                                      G
It’s quite odd, I can’t help but think, true happiness is found alone
E        G        F#m             Bm
In a dream, in a dream, I’ve been thinking through the dreams that I have
G                               A
Seaside, near the growing tide, lies a kitten’s sweet demise

[Chorus]
                 D
Bid you farewell (pa pa pa pa)
                                A
Plucking petals off each flower (pa pa pa pa)
                           Bm
feet pressed flat we ran across the shore, with fear no more
   G
And oh so lightly, I oh so lightly…
                 D
Bid you farewell (pa pa pa pa)
                                 A
Gulping them, swallow the flowers (pa pa pa pa) we both leap into the sea,
     Bm
 our bodies nude, we feel so free
   G
I get the feeling, I’m truly living…
               E                 G
“By the way, I know you also know.
                F#m                 Bm
Lies are clearer when, your fingers feel and grasp it,
     G               A                       D
 to touch your chin. You’re doing it right now.”
A      Bm       G
[Another set of Pa pa's]

[Verse 2]

D                           A
Days that seem too average, will run out in a few years
Bm                                        G
It’s quite odd, I can’t help but feel the sadness grow from thoughts alone
D                           A
And as you, someone shining, can die off, too easy
Bm                                        G
It’s quite odd, I can’t help but feel the sadness grow from thoughts alone
E         G            F#m            Bm
Give me love, give me love, I’ll eat love that you have to offer
G                               A
She said, “Strangle me instead, your hands, I want around my neck.”

[Chorus]
                  D
Bid you farewell (pa pa pa pa)
                             A
Tearing love up into pieces (pa pa pa pa) red-cheeked the feeling spreads,
        Bm
 we’ll lose our clothes, it’s you I chose,
      G
And gracefully so, I’ll gracefully so…
                 D
Bid you farewell (pa pa pa pa)
                                  A
Gulping love, to swallow it down (pa pa pa pa) two of us we sleep together,
 Bm
 lying down on dirty sheets
  G
I get the feeling, I’m truly living…
E               G             F#m
 “By the way, I know you also know.
                         Bm                              G
This small thing that’s called ‘eternal happiness’ will never exist.
        A
 Cause even flowers wilt away?”
D     A    Bm    G
[Another set of pa pa's]

[Verse 3]
                     D
Days had passed and, after some time it was you who came back to the shore
A                                        Bm
(Pa pa pa pa) Sighing into the night you let it sound the fondest of breaths
G
The taste of chocolate, the taste of chocolate, mimicking it,
D
Tasting sweet and tasting bitter, both held a special feeling
A                                            Bm
(Pa pa pa pa) While I smoke a cigarette I’ll wait until the morning comes
    G
So hold me tightly, please hold me tightly

[Chorus]
                  D#
Bid you farewell (pa pa pa pa)

I get the feeling, I’m truly living…
             F                    G#                     Gm
“Can we get another chance here to try? Loving feelings we want to bloom.”
Cm                              G#
“Look up, it’s here. Spring has surely come.”
A#                           D#
“Let’s go and steal some flowers.”
D#   A#    Cm     G#
