A                          C#m
This time of night I could call you up
        Bm                              D
I'd get angry with athletic ease, break common laws in twos and threes
A                      E
And if I die clutching your photograph
              Bm                         D
Don't call me boring, it's just 'cause I like you.
    A                                    C#m
Oh, take me on back, take me on back and take me back
       Bm
To the place where I could feel your heart
    D
Is this the end or just the start of
A                        E
Something really, really beautiful
        Bm                  D
Wrapped up and disguised as something really, really ugly?

F#m
Won't you...

            A             C#m         F#m
Come by and see me, I'm a love letter away                          
D                              A              C#m
I'd break your name before I'd say, "I really love you, love you."
D           A                          C#m           F#m
No, I don't care if you saw, I watched every inch of film
      D                 A
Flash across your Roman features,
      C#m                 F#m
And I loved it, loved it. No, I don't care if
A                      C#m
You think I'm eager to shut your eyes, well
    Bm                               D
I'm sorry; everybody knows you can't break me with your gutter prose
A                         E
Would you believe it, she sent me a letter,        
    Bm                                     D
The ring, it nearly weighs her down, she's got another boy, oh boy.
A                                      C#m
Steady your ears, steady your ears and read my lips
   Bm                        D
Poetry is not a luxury; it's how I'll break this home
    A                              E
And when I'm really ill, won't you cradle me?
       Bm                      D
Man is not a noble animal, but maybe woman is remember,

F#m
I heard you...
                                  
A                                   C#m          F#m
Inside your room , you said, "You?ve never really lived
           D                  A                  C#m 
Until your back?s against the wall.? Oh, did you really mean it?
D                 A                       C#m          F#m
I never break my gaze, if just to see the stars remain reflected in your eyes
             C#m
I think it's time to go home

Instrumental:   
Use same progression as verse: A C#m Bm  A  E  Bm  D

    A                                               C#m
Oh, tell me your thoughts, tell me your thoughts on liberty.
              Bm                    D
See there's a place where I sink to sleeping
         A                 E
She said oh, my vote is as red as my blood
          Bm                          D
Will you join me for another round? I haven't had the chance to speak yet.

F#m
God speed...
              
             A             C#m               F#m
I break the law once every week to feel your touch,                 
         D              A                C#m 
What's a book to you in bed, do you feel better, older?
D                  A                 C#m              F#m
This just makes me ill; your name is dripping from my pen
             D             A
Still you're not around to curse,
              C#m                      F#m
I'll drop the gun now; I'm still under you...

Instrumental: F#m  D repeated



A                                    F#m
Marianne, you?ll have to go to sleep tonight
A                                          F#m
