[Intro]
Dm G C Cmaj7/B Am C/G
Ah ah Ah ah
Dm G C Cmaj7/B Am C/G
Ah ah Ah ah
[Verse 1]
Dm G C Cmaj7/B Am C/G
The sun burns ever lightly as you lay out on the sand
Dm G C Cmaj7/B Am C/G
My mind is like a tambourine it rattles in your hand
Dm G C Cmaj7/B Am C/G
written on your sidewalk is a thin white sillouette
Dm G C Cmaj7/B Am C/G
come on come on you said lay down let's see if you can fit
[Chorus 1]
C G Dm
Persuasion makes everybody weak
C G Dm
Persuasion makes a servant speak
C G Dm
Persuasion takes you by the cheek
Am G
And makes you lie about any situation
[Verse 2]
Dm G C Cmaj7/B Am C/G
You asked me to hold your raincoat and I waited in the storm
Dm G C Cmaj7/B Am C/G
I had to burn so many dreams in order to stay warm
Dm G C Cmaj7/B Am C/G
Your doctor and your dealer and your American Express
Dm G C Cmaj7/B Am C/G
Call it medication but it's only side effects
[Chorus 2]
C G Dm
Persuasion stole you everything you own
C G Dm
Persuasion it's the Devil's cheap cologne
C G Dm
Persuasion won't you just pick of the phone
Am G
Baby and dial without hesitation
[Verse 3]
Dm G C Cmaj7/B Am C/G
Walked those empty sidewalks on a chilly Christmas Day
Dm G C Cmaj7/B Am C/G
Salvation Army ringers trying to make their winter pay
Dm G C Cmaj7/B Am C/G
Homeless as a slumlord I stroll to a hotel bar
Dm G C Cmaj7/B Am C/G
Prostitutes were lined up underneath that midnight star
[Chorus 3]
C G Dm
Persuasion it reminded me of you
C G Dm
Persuasion selling everything you do
C G Dm
Persuasion it can place a price on you
Am G
But you may die from all of that inflation
[Verse 4]
Dm G C Cmaj7/B Am C/G
You said you believed in angels after thinking that you came
Dm G C Cmaj7/B Am C/G
The deepest you ever got was seven inches in your drain
Dm G C Cmaj7/B Am C/G
So I took a road less trampled and eventually was caught
Dm G C Cmaj7/B Am C/G
Now I stand in the middle of no man's land but I keep on keepin' on
[Chorus 4]
C G Dm
Persuasion someone said it's crystal blue
C G Dm
Persuasion was an accessory to you
C G Dm
Persuasion I'll call you up if I'm ever in need
Am
of refrigeration
