D5 I left the east side for a west coast beauty G5 A girl who burned my thoughts like kisses E5 She was down by street decree G5 D5 She swore she'd pull my best years out of me D5 Fat painted lips on a live wire beauty G5 A tangerine girl with tambourine eyes E5 Her face was my favourite magazine G5 D5 Her body was my favourite book to read D5 G5 D5 They say that all poets must have an unrequited love G5 D5 As all lovers must have thought provoking fears G5 D5 But holdig on to you means letting go of pain G5 Means letting go of tears D5 Means letting go of rain C5 E5 G5 Means letting go of what's not real D5 Holding on to you I left the rough side for a seaside baby A chamomile smile that pouts on cue For every moment I breathe her sigh Her bosom contains my sweet alibi In an emotional mist she breathes in fog And breathes it out as garden flowers Why me of all the tough talking boys I guess she heard my heartbeat through the noise They say that all poets must have an unrequited love As all lovers must have thought provoking fears But holding on to you Means letting go of pain Means letting go of tears Means letting go of rain Holding on to you Means letting sorrows heal Means letting go of what's not real Holding on to you They say that all poets must have an unrequited love As all lovers I'm sure must have thought provoking fears But holding on to you means letting sorrows heal Means letting go of what's not real Holding on to you I left the east coast for a west coast beauty a woman who wet my thoughts like kisses she was down down by street decree she swore she'd pull my best years out of me fat wet lips on a sea salt canvas Goodbye Picasso hello Dolly/Dali The soil is fertile where her footsteps trod She's my new religion she's all I got They say that all poets must have an unrequited love as all lovers I'm sure must have thought provoking fears But holding on to you means letting go of tears means letting go of rain means letting sorrows heal It means letting go of pain Enjoy, Klaus Gregaard
