D5                   A5
And I'd write you a letter
 
                  G5
To explain all my actions

                         B5             A5
But I'd only take it too far again,




D5                             A5
And you'll consign me to that shoebox

                               G5                 B5
Underneath the place where you hang your coats,

     A5
On a par with train tickets and badges.




D5                 A5              G5
Well maybe that's justice,

                                B5           A5
On a par with train tickets and badges,

G5
I'll be at home with objects

B5              A5
That can pierce your heart and

G5                  B5      A5
Take you far away.




D5
Paint me with loyal marks,

A5                          G5
At least ignore me with feeling.

                      B5    A5
Good arms. Painter.

D5                    A5
And the style of her dress

                       G5
Is no longer screaming A line,

                       B5
Simply saying that the rest

A5
Of the alphabet




D5               A5        G5
Had gone away

         B5              A5                             D5
To spell other words and phrases that day


A5                G5                  B5    A5            
So there was no "U" to be found.


D5    A5            G5        B5   A5
Only memories of "x"'s.


D5    A5            G5        B5   A5
Only memories of "x"'s.




D5              
Paint me with loyal marks,

A5                          G5
At least ignore me with feeling.

                      B5    A5
Good arms. Painter.

B5            A5                     D5
