[C5]A candle burning for everything I've ever wanted
[C5]A tattoo burned for everything I've ever wanted and lost

[C5]But I've cut it down to one and your name's at the top
Chorus

[D5]Oh [Eb6]oh, a common [C5]disaster
Verse 2
[C5]I found myself a friend but he's crooked as a stick in water
[C5]So now I'm writing fairy tales to raise the spirit of revenge
[Bb]He's got a plan to steal my little sister
[C5]But I'm not too concerned 'cause I will get him in the end
Verse 3
[C5]Going to find me someone to share a common disaster
[C5]Run away with me from a life so cramped and dull
[Bb9]Not to worry too much about the happily-ever-after
[C5]Just keep the caddy moving 'til we're well beyond that hill
Repeat Chorus
