Forever (Is a Long Time)

[Intro]

D          G         A
 I spent a long time watering
    D                 Bm
A plant made out of plastic
        E                    A           D
 And I curse the ground for growing green
D         G          A           F#              Bm
I spent a long time substituting honest with sarcastic
        E                   A         D
 And I curse my tongue for being mean

[Primeira Parte]

     Em                     Bm
 And weightless, breathless restitute
 Em               Bm
 Motionless and absolute
    Em           Bm                E             F#
 He cut me open, sucked the poison from an aging wound
     Em             Bm
 Now fifty thousand war cadets
       Em            Bm
 Would cower at this small brunette
    Em               Bm
 To my surprise, not six feet high
       F#
 Would reach and grab the moon if I
        Bm          F#
 Should ask or just imply
                          B
 That I wanted a bit more light
            G
 So I could look inside his eyes
             Gm
 And get the colors just right
 D                 G         D  Bb  Gm
 Just right, just right, just

       Gm                     A7
 Build love, build God, build provinces
       Dm
 Build calluses, break promises
        Gm             A7                 Dm
 'Cause I could never hold a perfect thing and not demolish it
           Gm                       A7
 What am I thinking? What does this mean?
               Dm         F
 How could somebody ever love me?
  G                                   A
 Talk to your man, tell him he's got bad news comin'
