                       G (320003@1)                       D (xx0232@1)                       ABecuase (x02220@1)if you could take all the heat in your heart and just hang it from you,

  D (xx0232@1)                    F#m (244222@1)                   BmI (x24432@1)wouldn't be able to bear the way you cannot love me.

                 G (320003@1)            A (x02220@1)           DIt's (xx0232@1)much easier of me make a monster out of you.



   D (xx0232@1)                  F#m (244222@1)                     BmAnd (x24432@1)so here I go, substituting the glow from your temples,

                       G (320003@1)      D (xx0232@1)                A (x02220@1)     
all our sighs and our trembles, and each last letter sent you

  D (xx0232@1)                              F#m (244222@1)                  Bmfrom (x24432@1)the cheap little pen of this weak little man- the one singing 

                      G (320003@1)                    A (x02220@1)                 D- (xx0232@1)out his jangling, ringing and hopefully stinging attack upon you.



      D (xx0232@1)                   F#m (244222@1)                      BmYeah, (x24432@1)so here I go, just exploding the hope we'll be speaking

                          G (320003@1)      D (xx0232@1)                 Asome (x02220@1)day, years from now, seeking friendship and understanding.

      D (xx0232@1)                    F#m (244222@1)                              BmYeah, (x24432@1)I hope you get angry, and hurt, and have the hardest of landings.

                     G (320003@1)                      A (x02220@1)                         DAnd (xx0232@1)I hope your new man thinks of me when he sees what a number I did on you.



         D (xx0232@1)                         F#m (244222@1)                       BmI (x24432@1)grow tired of this song. Turn my eyes to the blonde in the bleachers.

                        G (320003@1)    D (xx0232@1)                       AShe's (x02220@1)a lovely young creature. I think she's seeking adventure.

                D (xx0232@1)                   F#m (244222@1)                      BmI (x24432@1)think she's ready to see that the world isn't so sweet or so tender.

                         G (320003@1)                     A (x02220@1)                   DI (xx0232@1)won't break her, just bend her, and make her into my new ringer for you.



               D (xx0232@1)                         F#m (244222@1)                         BmI (x24432@1)stay in the same comfy town, write the same old songs down, drive the same streets,

                        G (320003@1)         D (xx0232@1)                                Aseek (x02220@1)the same sense of dull peace, whisper the same sweet words to the chippies.

           D (xx0232@1)                            F#m (244222@1)                    BmThe (x24432@1)same walk by the road and where the same muddy snow's finally leaving,

                             G (320003@1)                     A (x02220@1)                          DBut (xx0232@1)i'll fight off the spring; I don't want lovely things,I don't want the earth new.
