Am  C  F  G  
(Fast one) 
C D B C G C B C

[Verse 1]
    Am
Betray!
               G
The Avalon is always beside me
     F                G                   Am
And I'm following it home (Where is my home) 

Orion glows
     C               F
And his eyes open up
                Em                      F
I once believed I would set you in line
        G            F                       G                   
If only I had the strength you'd be completely accepting something else

[Chorus]
Am                            C                        F
  If you keep asking me I'll melt away in the summer air
                                    G                                 
It won't hurt half as much and I'll beg for you to please stop it now
Am                            C                        F
  If you keep asking me I'll melt away in the summer air
                                    G                     C D B C G C B C
It won't hurt half as much and I'll beg for you to just tell me something

[Verse 2]
Am                      G                            F
  The fluid through the alpha waves and power cables everywhere
G                      
Exercising self-control
Am                     C              F                   Em
  The child calls, And she lies open, I Once believed "if only i'd been

thinking at all"
F         G           F                       G            
  If only I had the strength you'd be completely accepting something else
Am                            C                        
  If you keep asking me I'll melt away in the summer air
F                                      G
  It won't hurt half as much and I'll beg for you to please stop it now
Am                            C
  If you keep asking me I'll melt away in the summer air
F                                     G                    C D B C G C B C
  It won't hurt half as much and I'll beg for you just to tell me something

[Bridge] 
Am   G   F   G

Am           G       F          G             
 If you keep asking me, If you keep asking me..

[Pre-Chorus]
F         G           F                        G
  If only I had the strength you'd be completely accepting something else

[Chorus]
Am                            C                       
  If you keep asking me I'll melt away in the summer air
F                                      G                   
  It won't hurt half as much and I'll beg for you please stop it now
Am                            C                       
  If you keep asking me I'll melt away in the summer air
F                                      G                C D B C G C B C
  It won't hurt half as much and I'll beg for you just tell me something

[Outro]
C       C    G#                    Bb
  You swore, Out like my life You cried,
C            G#                  Bb   C
  You cried, So I'm engaged to smile
