Capo 1



Dm Dm Dm Gm A (x2)

     Dm
I am alive,
     Am
I am alive,
                A#
And that is the best that I can do.


                Dm
You told me you lied,
                   Am
You swore you were mine,
           A#
I took you back a thousand times.


            Dm
Talk of the town,
            Am
You've been around,
             A#
If he is the man you want, then go.


      A#
But tonight we'll leave
C              A#
All our lovers behind,
           C            A#
And try to live a quiet life.
            C                 A#    C C#
My love has dressed me like a clown.

Dm Dm Dm Gm A (x2)


           Dm
You are an ass,
               Am
A snake in the grass,
       A#
Vanity seeps from out your pores.


              Dm
And baby it's time
              Am
To pay for my crime,
          A#
Nothing I say can make you mine.


                      Dm
You either sing it in key,
            Am
Or run into me.
           A#
I can fake it as good as you.


      A#
But tonight we'll leave
C              A#
All our stupid songs,
                 C                  A#
We'll drive, and reach the hills by dawn.
            C                 A#    C C#
My love has dressed me like a clown.

Dm Dm Dm Gm A (x2)


  A#
Tonight we'll leave
C              A#
All our lovers behind,
           C            A#
And try to live a quiet life.
            C               A#    C C#
Margot, you dress me like a clown.


  A#
Tonight we'll drink
  C           A#
Into an early grave.
                 C                A#
We'll laugh, but we will never be saved.
            C                   A#     C C#
Someone has dressed us all like clowns.

Dm Am A# A# (x2)


             Dm
Darling it's sin,
           Am
Where do I begin?
            A#
Putting the contact lenses in.


            Dm
You say the lights
            Am
Scurry like mice,
               A#
Reflecting the streets in your blue eyes.


           Dm
Out on the roof,
            Am
Waiting for love,
         A#
Turn me around and lock me up.


                Dm
Baby you are an ass,
               Am
A snake in the grass,
       A#
Vanity oozes out your pores.



      Dm
Oooh, ooooh.
      Am    A#
Oooh, ooooh.

      Dm
Oooh, ooooh.
      Am    A#
Oooh, ooooh.

(End on Dm)
