E5               G#5 
Time after time you will forgive me
         G5              B5
Like an animal in your care
             E5                 G#5
But give it time.  You will outlive me
             G5                      B5
And take the bow back you put in my hair
          E5                    G#5
Made a parade of myself in the street outside your house
        G5                     B5
For the New York photographer there
           E5                    G#5
I fell for crime and I fell for beauty
           G5                               B5
I fell for you because you're the one that cared

           C5                  G5
And when I die you can put on costumes
       E5                     E5
In the style of the clothes I wore
             C5                G5
And sing the songs your lover taught you
              E5                              E5
When you were too young to know that this was    what they were for.

         C5            G5         E5     E5      (riff at bottom )
La la la la. La la la lala. lalala
         C5            G5         E5     E5
La la la la. La la la lala. lalala

               E5                    G#5
Like some dead relative, you will remember me most 
      G5                   B5                    E5
by my funeral and all the beautiful toasts you made
              G#5                     G5
Take back the spade.  We've both been filling up our days 
             B5
like we were filling in a grave
