Aria Macdonald - Empty Generation

 
Cmaj9 
Fingers trace the fretboard lines, 
Am 
a melody in minor key 
E 
At night we interwind, 
G 
a craving that wont flee 
Em 
Say it's just a game we play, 
E7 
a casual exchange of touch 
G/B 
When my lying stops, 
G 
I want you so much 


 Cmaj9 
You're the hit I hate to chase, 
E 
the high that leaves me low 
G  
A ghost of warmth in an empty space, 
Am 
a love I'll never know 
Em 
I built my walls to fit your mold, 
E7 
a perfect imitation 
F                            G 
Now I'm just a story told in this 
G/B     F   C 
empty generation 

 
Cmaj9 
Each fleeting touch, a quiet lie, 
Am 
that maybe this could be 
E 
More than lust in your eyes, 
G 
but a connection meant for me 
Em 
I tell myself it's not your fault, 
E7 
this hunger deep inside 
G/B 
Morning comes too early and, 
G 
Ive shattered all my pride

Cmaj9 
Learning to want whats on the shelf, 
Am 
though its not enough 
E 
Your Intentions are so obvious, 
G 
still I will play your bluff 
Em 
wrapped in your arms so tight, 
E7 
There is so much space  
G/B 
Begging for the minimum, 
G 
His cold hands caress my waist
