[F] Don't wanna see the glint of the moon, 
 in your pale blue [C] eyes [G]
[F] Don't wanna see the tears in your face,
 or your pain when you [C] cry [G]
[F] Don't wanna hear the sound of my voice,
 saying "it'll be [C] alright..." [G]
[F] Don't wanna feel the end of a world,
 on my fragile [C] mind [G]

 wants to lead me [C] astray [G]
