E               G#m 
Time after time you will forgive me
         G              B
Like an animal in your care
             E                 G#m
But give it time.  You will outlive me
             G                      B
And take the bow back you put in my hair
          E                    G#m
Made a parade of myself in the street outside your house
        G                     B
For the New York photographer there
           E                    G#m
I fell for crime and I fell for beauty
           G                               B
I fell for you because you're the one that cared

           C                  G
And when I die you can put on costumes
       Em                     Em
In the style of the clothes I wore
             C                G
And sing the songs your lover taught you
              Em                              Em
When you were too young to know that this was    what they were for.

La la la la. La la la lala. lalala
         C            G         Em     E
La la la la. La la la lala. lalala

               E                    G#m
Like some dead relative, you will remember me most 
      G                   B                    E
by my funeral and all the beautiful toasts you made
              G#m                     G
Take back the spade.  We've both been filling up our days 
             B
like we were filling in a grave
