F#             D#m           C#
Came to light on a very hot day
                      G#                  B
The grass was sweating, you were sleeping in
                    A#m
With the window open and the blanket breathing
F#        D#
Cigarette on a golden ashtray
C#                   G#                  B
Your golden hair lay in the swollen sun ray
                   A#m
The withered roses hanging in the doorway

Chorus:
F#                    C#                    D#m
Don't wanna be right, don't wanna be let down
                 A#m
Don't wanna fight, don't wanna pretend
B
Formless secret
D#m     C#  D#m    C#
Heavy bend, heavy bend

Second sight and the clouds above you
As the wilderness grew thicker and the crow flew
Tossing and turning, your forehead burning

Chorus:
Don't wanna be right
Don't wanna be let down
Don't wanna fight
Don't wanna defend
Formless secret
Heavy bend
From the empty height
Flies on the ceiling now
I wanna hold you tight
Don't wanna pretend
Formless secret
Heavy bend
Heavy bend
Heavy bend
