Tom :Am Am E In an anonymous rendez-vous Am where the forbidden lovers repair C G They're burning down another damn candle E F7M they're melting the tables and chairs Am E Beneath them applause from the balcony Am whenever they accomplished making love C G Other times they thought they heard laughter E F7M coming from the balcony above G D She lies to his right and she carelessly resites Em D All of her brand new appetites G D She seems brittle and small it don't sound like her at all Em E Since she came back to him After the fall Am E She said You never visited the countryside Am So I've made you a country to order C G She put up a little tent in the bedroom E F7M Crickets played on a tape recorder Am E The ceiling was festooned with phosphorous stars Am She noticed his skin turning cold C G Burning all his clothes on the bonfire E F7M Relax she whispered and tightened the blindfold G D She lies to his right and she carelessly resites Em D All of her brand new appetites G D She seems brittle and small it don't sound like her at all Em E Since she came back to him After the fall Am E You've changed but not for the better, babe Am I'd tell you why but what's the use C G 'Cause it's the same kind of pity E F7M a drunkard gives as his excuse Am E You were sharp and ideal as a bobby pin Am Now your eyes are deserted and quiet C G We both look like those poor shattered mannequins E F7M Thrown through the window in the riot G D She lies in his arms and without any qualms Em D Revels in shallow delights G D She seems brittle and small it don't look like her at all Em E Since she came back to him After the fall
