Joy

Intro 



[Verso 1]
 
               D# 
You brought the Joy 
          E           
From your name to my heart 
       G#m       D# 
And it all went away 
       E               
As you turned from my arms 
                 D# 
I carve out your name 
       E            
With a knife on my arm 
      G#m          D# 
And I hide all the pain 
          E             
'Cause it looks like a scar 
 


[Verso 2]
 
            D# 
You pour the salt 
       E                
Oh and I'll have the wound 
        G#m             D# 
I could live in this forever 
      E          
But I need you, too 
                D# 
If you were the North Star 
    E           
I'd follow you home 
         G#m          D# 
It would bring me to sunshine 
          C#m         F# 
Where I'd call you my own 

{Refrain}

[Verso 3]
 
               D# 
Two years too long 
    E               
Now I can't feel a thing 
      G#m            D# 
But I see you in my dreams 
           E           
They don't last very long 
               D# 
If you were a swan 
       E          
Oh and I was the lake 
          G#m           D# 
You could swim here all day 
          C#m         F# 
I'll make sure you're safe

             D# 
(How can such beauty 
      E           
Bring me so much pain 
  G#m            D# 
I don't feel the Joy 
     E                  
That comes from your name) 
             D# 
How can such beauty

Bring me so much pain
