Intro: C G Am F x2

C             G             Am             F
The moon sheds light across the end of the bed.
C             G             Am             F
You made me wait but now i'm touching your leg.
C             G             Am             F
And i remember all the little things you said,
C             G             Am             F
"quesadillas, made with cheese" and "a rock band who went japanese."
F             G             C              Am
So for once in my life, i saw what i wanted and took a bite.
F                     G                    C
I picked the fruit from the tree and it was ripe.

C G Am F x2

C             G             Am             F
Your love got big, your drugs got worse each afternoon.
C             G             Am             F
Like bacon at a bah mitzvah, like a lead balloon.
C             G             Am             F
And who's to say what really happened in that room each day?
C             G             Am             F
I was looking for a bride, you were looking for a groom.
F             G             C              Am
So for once in your life, you saw what you wanted and you took a bite.
F                     G                    C
You picked the fruit from the tree and it was ripe.

C G Am F x4

C             G             Am             F
And all you people are the heroes i'd known.
C             G             Am             F
We're staring off the edge into the unknown.
C             G             Am             F
We are not there yet but we cannot go home.
C             G             
So we cry, and we sing.
Am             F
Yeah, i remember everything.
F             G             C              Am
For once in our lives, we saw what we wanted and took a bite.
F                           G
We picked the fruit from the tree.
C
And it was ripe.
