Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
Thousands,  no millions of hours
We've  been skirting around this whole subject
Like  children  stuck in a museum.
And  I'm dry now.
My  mouth will not speak, I'm weary and weak
And  I only  wanted to see you again.
If  that's  unfair, just let me know,
Just  write it down, and then I'll go.
But  you skate around my human skin
An  apple where your throat begins
Just  say...
Just  tell the stars to give a sign,
Put  it in a bottle...
Say  you're mine.
And  it's better, better than music,
Better  than words to be with you
But  better  that we're apart.
Can't  you feel it?
It's  taken me over, left me for dead like Ophelia.
Who  knew  a  prince and survived?
And so  I ask in every line
That  I might learn of your design
But  you skate around my human skin
An  apple where your throat begins
Just  say...
Just  tell the stars to give a sign,
Put  it in a bottle...
Say  you're mine.
But  you skate around my human skin
An  apple where your throat begins
Just  say...
Just  tell the stars to give a sign,
Put  it in a bottle...
Say  you're mine.
