This time of night I could call you up
Bb5 C#5
I'd get angry with athletic ease, break common laws in twos and threes
Ab5 Eb5
If I die clutching your photograph
Bb5 C#5
Don't call me boring, It's just 'cause I like you
Ab5 C5
Well, Take me on back Take me on back and take me back
Bb5
To the place where I could feel your heart
C#5
Is this the end or just the start of
Ab5 Eb5

Bb5 C#5
Wrapped up and disguised as something really, really ugly,
F5
Won't you...

And I loved it, loved it; I don't care if
Ab5 C5
You think I'm eager to shut your eyes, well
Bb5 C#5
I'm sorry-everybody knows you can't break me with your gutter prose
Ab5 Eb5
Would you believe it, she sent me a letter,
Bb5 C#5
The ring, it nearly weighs her down, she's got another boy, oh boy
Ab5 C5
Steady your ears Steady your ears and read my lips
Bb5 C#5
Poetry is not a luxury, it's how I'll break this home
Ab5 Eb5
And when I'm really ill, won't you cradle me?
Bb5 C#5
Man is not a noble animal, but maybe woman is, remember,

In-side your room , you said, "You never really live
C#5 A5 C5 C5
Until your back's against the wall, " oh did you really mean it?
