    When I Was Cruel

D5         A5       D5
This is a calling card
G5             D5             A5
Maybe it will be a farewell note
                    G5  D5    E5                   D5
The poison fountain pen     now requires the antidote
          G5         D5
And if I avert your gaze
G5              D5                A5
And I should become a shrinking flower
                     G5  D5
Just punch me on the arm
E5                       D5
This could be our finest hour


 B5       B5
'Til now this was my view
 B5   G5
But I'm counting on you
                                D5
How am I ever going to make you see?
 B5                   C5                 C5 B5 A5
Nothing in this ugly world comes easily

I want you to be...


G5   D5      G5    D5
 My lovely hooligan
G5    D5       G5       D5
Come by and smash my pane
G5    D5     G5         D5
'Til I can see right through
   G5      D5   G5 D5
My little blue  window

This is a fingerprint
Maybe you will feel a fond caress
But when you start to speak
Are you tempted to confess?

Well, I was a gloomy soul
Never thought I'd see a brighter day
The dark interior
Blows those silver clouds away

'Til now this was my view
But I'm counting on you
How am I ever going to make you see?
Nothing in this ugly world comes easily
I want you to be...

My lovely hooligan
Come by and smash my pane
'Til I can see right through
My little blue window
