    When I Was Cruel

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


 Bm       Bm/A
'Til now this was my view
 Bm/Ab   G7M
But I'm counting on you
                                D
How am I ever going to make you see?
 Bm                   C                 C B Am
Nothing in this ugly world comes easily

I want you to be...


G   D      G    D
 My lovely hooligan
G    D       G       D
Come by and smash my pane
G    D     G         D
'Til I can see right through
   G      D   G D
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
(repeat twice)
