That's all I need
Don't build your world around
Volcanoes melt you down
(continue pattern over)
And what I am to you
Is not real
And what I am to you
You do not need
And what I am to you
Is not what you mean to me
You give me miles and miles of mountains
Fmaj7 Am (to intro)
And I ask for the sea
Don't throw yourself like that
In front of me
I kissed your mouth your back
Is that all you need
Don't drag my love around
Volcanoes melt me down
And what I am to you
Is not real
And what I am to you
You do not need
And what I am to you
Is not what you mean to me
You give me miles and miles of mountains
And I ask...
What I give to you
Is just what I'm going through
This is nothing new
No, no, just another phase of finding
What I really need
Is what makes me bleed
Like a new disease
But lord she's still too young to treat
What I am to you is not real
(She's still too young, she’s still too)
Vol------can---oes melt you down
What I am to you is not real
(young, she's still too young, she’s still too)
Vol------can---oes melt you down
What I am to you is not real
(She's still too young, she’s still too)
Vol------can---oes melt you down
What I am to you is not real
(young, she's still too young, she’s still too)
Vol------can---oes melt you down
What I am to you is not real
(She's still too young, she’s still too)
Vol------can---oes melt you down
What I am to you is not real
(young, she's still too young, she’s still too)
Vol------can---oes melt you down
What I am to you is not real
(She's still too young, she’s still too)
I kiss your mouth
What I am to you is not real
(young, she's still too young, she’s still too)
I kiss your mouth
What I am to you is not real
(She's still too young, she’s still too)
I kiss your mouth
What I am to you is not real
(young, she's still too young, she’s still too)
I kiss your mouth
(N.C.)
You do not need me
