G#m                   B      G#m
I wanted to show you John's star
G#m                        B          G#m
And lay down with you in strawberry fields
G#m
You said you're gonna lay down here
        B               G#m
You're gonna lay down alone
G#m                         B              F# G#m
I thought I told you I was ruined by the stones

I don't ever want you to come home again
I don't wanna hear your call, your voice in my room
I am divine and my arms are stronger than rivers
And when you feel that way,
you want to feel that way again
Forever

Chorus:
G#m           B             G#m
Once ruined, baby you stay ruined
G#m                 B             F#
Yeah, once ruined, baby you stay ruined

Anything is beautiful and I blame you
I woke up in your sheets of rain
And everything you touch around here
You leave a stain

Chorus:
Once ruined, baby, you stay ruined
Yeah, once ruined, baby, you stay ruined
