A         E
Give me a canvas to color in
A             E
These nursery rhymes I sing
     Bm                 D           D  A
They all just sound the same, Sullivan
A           E
Hung on the walls of my home
A              E                    Bm               D        D  A
Those painted portraits bear some resemblance to you now, Sullivan

[Chorus]

F#m  A  F#m       A
I never meant to go
F#m  A  F#m       A
I never meant to go

A - E (x4)

[Verse 2]
A          E               A
Some punishment that never came
           E              Bm                    D        D  A
The bodies you invade all outlined on pavement now, Sullivan
A         E
The radio's static hymns
A             E
And choirs of angels sing
           Bm                 D      D  A
You're the talk of the town now, Sullivan

[Chorus]

F#m  A  F#m       A
I never meant to go
F#m  A  F#m       A
I never meant to go

[Verse 3]

               B          F#m
'Cause it's all coming back now
               B          F#m
And you're all running out
    B           F#m
Yet you don't see how
B            F#m
You still like to pretend

B - F#m
B - F#m
B - F#m - A
