F5 - D5 - A5

A5
I'm so far away from you
F5
Pacing up and down my room
D5                             A5
Does Jesus only love a man who loses?
A5
I turn on the radio
F5                       
There's some cat on the saxophone 
D5                      A5
Laying down a litany of excuses
A5
There's madhouse longing in my baby's eyes
F5
She rubs the lamp between her thighs
D5                            A5
And hopes the genie comes out singing
A5
She lives in some forgotten song
F5 
And moves like she is zombie-strong
D5                                    A5
Breathes steady as the pendulum keeps swinging

C5 - G5 - A5

A5                          F5    A5
You better hold on to yourself

A5
F5 - D5 - A5

A5
Well, cities rust and fall to ruin
F5                            
Factories close and cars go cruisin'
D5                           A5
In around the borders of her vision
A5
She says ooh
   F5
As Jesus makes the flowers grow
D5                              A5
All around the scene of her collision

              C5    G5            A5
You know I would,   yes, I would
A5      F5          A5
I would hold on to yourself

A5
F5 - D5 - A5

In the middle of the night 
I try my best to chase outside
The phantoms and the ghosts and fairy-girls
On 1001 nights like these
She mutters open sesame and Ali Baba and his forty thieves
Launch her off the face of the world

You know one day I'll come back and I'd hold on to yourself
To yourself, I'd hold on to yourself

Ooh baby, I'm a 1000 miles away
And I just don't know what to say
Cause Jesus only loves a man who bruises
But darling, we can clearly see
It's all life and fire and lunacy
And excuses and excuses and excuses

Well, you know if I could, I would
I'd lie right down and I'd hold on to yourself
Yeah, I would lie right down and I would hold on to yourself
One day I'll come back to you and I'd hold on to yourself
Yeah, I'm gonna come back, gonna lie down
And I would hold on to yourself
Yeah, to yourself
