C Em C Em G D G D

[Verse 1]
Em
The perfect cadence that I wish I could complete
D
You take me by surprise and sweep me off my feet
Em
I've spent a lifetime thinking you and I should meet
D
You're in my eye line every time I dream

[Pre-Chorus]

G Em
       Well that's the thing
C Em
       You make my heart sing

[Chorus]
C Em    C Em                C
  Cecilia, I've lost your love
G
I've given up, I've had enough
C    Em       C  Em                                      G   D
Saint Cecilia, I tried my best but in the end nothing ever was enough
G          D   G
I've given up

[Verse 2]
Em
Nowadays, I am nailed to your stave
D
I used to sleep for days - now I'm wide awake
C
Gut what is there for you to do
C
When the thing that you live for is dying beside you?
Em             C  Em
That's the thing - You break my heartstrings

[Chorus]

C Em    C Em                C
  Cecilia, I've lost your love
G
I've given up, I've had enough
C    Em       C  Em                                      G   D
Saint Cecilia, I tried my best but in the end nothing ever was enough
G          D   G
I've given up
C Em

[Post-Chorus]
Em
That's the thing...
C          Em                              G   D
I tried my best but in the end nothing ever was enough
G          D
I've given up
C Em C Em
C          Em                              G   D
I tried my best but in the end nothing ever was enough
G          D
I've given up
