( Dm Bb F G )
i'm all alone this is a holiday

some bloody holiday

my friends have gone away


( Dm Bb F G )
they're of the temp-or-ary sort i think

i will be better without

as long as you let me out


( Bb F A Dm )
to taste the air beside the river

i pick the soundtrack with immaculate care


( Bb F A A7 )
such a lot rests upon it

my life upon a song

you don't know how much i need

musician, please take heed


( Dm Bb F G )
i thought i might just write a letter

anything to stay away

from books and lessons today


( Dm Bb F G )
besides, it's part of my induction

into the literate world

i am a literate girl


( Bb F A Dm )
i string the words together softly

i lay my love upon you with each line


( Bb F A A7 )
a gift of improvising

removes me from revising

i made a daisy chain from

phrase, verse, and punctuation


( D A Gm Bm )
ill kick this mood off with a change of scene

i bought a leotard i'm going to the gym


( G D A Am G A )
i couldn't get away with wearing it all summer

but i've lost a lot of weight 

i think it's down to leaving meat

out of my diet as a rule

i wont buy it 'cause it's cruel


( Dm Bb F G )
and if the nighttime threatens me with pain

i will give into lust

i will do what i must


( Dm Bb F G )
i've got a number of a girl i know

who gets hallucinogens from a pair of hooligans


( Bb F A Dm )
ill take a dose i don't mind trying

she lets me stay there while i leave the ground


( Bb F A A7 )

i slow go off beside her
think that i'll stay 'till morning
she's got me started yawning
