Then do the whole bridge over again.
Then the 2nd part of the verse a couple times, then the intro twice.
Back again into the verse, chorus, end.
Basic chords version:
(Please excuse the lyrics after the first chorus.
They're unintelligible at times.)
Verse 1
D
You step on the purple vale
G A
Emit shards of a screaming halo.
D
You strap on your rainbow sail.
G A
Rainbow resin, a sticky cyclone
D G
Oh, how i love the smell of your charred remains
Nothing better
D G
Than to meet your sweetheart in severed chains
It's love forever.
Chorus
A G
Yeah, I'll always be your friend.
A G
Oh yeah, at least just till the end.
Verse 2
D
Our burner switches hit
G A
Instant meltdown, free-fry the ghost town.
D
Fresh battery head trip.
G A
Love it to death, how, go child strum sound.
D G
Never leave you alone, harsh and heavy drone.
To cook a sizzle soft beat.
D G
Pre-historic love, electric catacomb.
I see your look goes to me.
Chorus
Bridge
Verse 3
D
Pardon me, purple vale.
G A
The ticket of the girl who loves you.
D
She rides the high rail
G A
Devotional dogma crackles above you
D G
And all the startled tones chilling tonight
Sweet circular motions
D G
Amplify a moon dot(?) in her sight
And love smiles through me.
Chorus. End on G.
