[Verse 1]
E Bm
I was looking for a rhyme for the New York Times
F#m A
When I sensed I was not alone.
E Bm
She said "D'you know how to spell audaciously?"
F#m A
I could tell I was in luck.
[Verse 2]
E Bm
And so I forced a smile contrary to my style
F#m A
And she looked into my eyes
E Bm
She said "D'you want to go heaven
F#m A
Or would you rather not be saved?"
[Bridge 1]
Bm G
Here comes my train
D F#m
I'm on my way, will you not see
G F#m
I don't need your sympathy
G A E
I won't read your poetry, oh sweetness please!
E Bm F#m A

[Verse 3]
E Bm
So she took me back to her basement flat,
F#m A
Which was down on Charlotte Street.
E Bm
Though it was never my intention
F#m A
No we were not intense, not least because,
[Verse 4]
E Bm
"Well if you must just take then I'm a piece of cake."
F#m A
That is what she said to me
E Bm
And so I gave myself to her charity
F#m A
Well at least that's how it seemed,
[Bridge 2]
Bm G
Here comes my train
D F#m
I'm on my way, what got into me?
G F#m
I don't need your sympathy
G A E
I won't read your poetry, oh bittersweets!

[Verse 5]
E Bm F#m A
I was looking for a rhyme for the New York Times when I was distracted
E Bm F#m A
Yes those were precious times together that we wasted
[Verse 6]
E Bm
Now I'm working hard for my union card
F#m A
I must be leaving Charlotte Street
E Bm F#m A
Though it was never my intention to stay so long
E
So long
[Outro]
