D5     G69
D5                              G69
Poetry is no place for a heart that's a whore
D5                                G69
And I'm young & I'm strong But I feel old & tired, overfired.
D5                                                G69
And I've been poked & stoked, it's all smoke, there's no more fire
          A5
Only desire
                E5
For you, whoever you are
                     D5
For you, whoever you are
                                G6add9
You say my time here has been some sort of joke
                    D5                   G69
That I've been messing around some sort of incubating period
                 D5                   G5
For when I really come around I'm cracking up
                E5
And you have no idea
        G5              D5
No idea how it feels to be on your own
            G5                 D5
In your own home with the fucking phone
               G5
And the mother of gloom
         D5
In your bedroom
                G5
Standing over your head
                E5                         D5
With her hand in your head, with her hand in your head
           G5                        D5
I will not pretend I will not put on a smile
                  G5                      A5
I will not say I'm all right for you when all I wanted was to be good
                 G5               D5
To do everything in truth, to do everything in truth
D5                             G69
oh I wish, I wish, I wish I was born a man
                  D5              G5
so I could learn how to stand up for myself
                   D5
like those guys with guitars
                     G5
I've been watching in bars
                       D5                   G5
who've been stamping their feet to a different beat
             E5                  D5
to a different beat, to a different beat
           G5                        D5
I will not pretend I will not put on a smile
                  G5                      A5
I will not say I'm all right for you when all I wanted was to be good
                 G5               D5
To do everything in truth, to do everything in truth
                  G5

           G5                        D5
I will not pretend I will not put on a smile
                  G5
I will not say I'm all right for you, 
                A5
for you, whoever you are
                G5
for you, whoever you are
                D5
for you, whoever you are
