Capo: 4th fret

[Intro]
Em
Cmaj7 Em  Bm
Cmaj7 Em  Bm
 
[Verse 1]
         Cmaj7 Em
Drain me dry
                 Bm
Down to the last drop
              Cmaj7
Pearls before swine
    Em
All flowers die
                     Bm
Tapped the last good vein
 
Don't know how to shut it off
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
                      Cmaj7 Em
Yeah, once you get me going
Bm
I don't know how to stop, I don't know how to stop
                Cmaj7  Em
Once you get me going
Bm
I don't know how to stop, I don't know how to
 
 
[Chorus]
Cmaj7   Em
All for your sake
Cmaj7                Am
     Became the very thing that I hate
  D       Em
I lost my way
Cmaj7          Am             Cmaj7 Em  Bm
Spinnin' in an endless figure eight
 
 
[Verse 2]
Cmaj7 Em                 Bm
I       won't miss the feelin'
          Cmaj7       Em
My flimsy spine, unsuspicious mind
                 Bm
I was only being kind
 
But you mistook me for weak
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
               Cmaj7 Em
And once I get going
Bm
I don't know how to stop, I don't know how to stop
Cmaj7 Em
Going
Bm
I don't know how to stop, I don't know how to
 
 
[Chorus]
Cmaj7   Em
All for your sake
Cmaj7                Am
     Became the very thing that I hate
  D       Em
I lost my way
Cmaj7          Am             Cmaj7 Em
Spinnin' in an endless figure eight
 
 
[Instrumental]
Cmaj7 Em
 
 
[Bridge]
Am
  Candlelight, candlelight
Cmaj7             G
     Burnin' 'til broad daylight
Am
  Candlelight, candlelight
Cmaj7                G
     Burnin' at both ends tonight
Am
  How could I? How could I?
Cmaj7               G
     If I'm made of thin ice
Am
  How could I? How could I?
Cmaj7            G           N.C.
You'd be wise if you thought twice
 
 
[Chorus]
Cmaj7   Em
All for your sake
Cmaj7                Am
     Became the very thing that I hate
  D       Em
I lost my way
Cmaj7          Am
Spinnin' in an endless figure
Cmaj7  Em
What remains
                    Am
And now I think I'm losing my shape
D     Em
Not a trace
   Cmaj7        Am
No end and no beginning
       Cmaj7 Em  Bm
Figure eight
              Drained me dry down to the last drop
Pearls before swine, all flowers die
Tapped the last good vein
Don't know how to shut it off

Yeah, once you get me going
I don't know how to stop, I don't know how to stop
Once you get me going
I don't know how to stop, I don't know how to

All for your sake
Became the very thing that I hate
I lost my way
Spinning in an endless figure eight

I won't miss the feeling
My flimsy spine, unsuspicious mind
I was only being kind
But you mistook me for weak

And once I get going
I don't know how to stop, I don't know how to stop
Going
I don't know how to stop, I don't know how to

All for your sake
Became the very thing that I hate
I lost my way
Spinning in an endless figure eight

Candlelight, candlelight
Burning 'til broad daylight
Candlelight, candlelight
Burning at both ends tonight

How could I? How could I?
If I'm made of thin ice
How could I? How could I?
You'd be wise if you thought twice

All for your sake
Became the very thing that I hate
I lost my way
Spinning in an endless figure

What remains?
And now I think I'm losing my shape
Not a trace
No end and no beginning, figure eight
