Am C Fmaj7 Em Riff 1
While there's still a fighting chance
B7 Ebdim7 Em Riff 2
Can't you just get up and go
Am C Fmaj7 Em Riff 1
And get away from this hollow romance
B7 Ebdim7 Em
It's slowly binding us both
(Em) Am C Fmaj7 Em Riff 1
Because you tell me what you want and I'll avoid it
B7 Ebdim7 Em Riff 2
Tell it to the sick and to the damned
Am C Fmaj7 Em Riff 1
Show me what you love, watch me destroy it
B7 Ebdim7 Em
For your love just crumbles in my hands
B7
C
But if you stay for a while
G (Hammer down A-string)
I'll try to think of something kind to say
C
And maybe if we pray for a while
B7
St. Jude might hear my pleas
B7
And see me on my knees
C
Because she knows how I adore you
B7
We won't be fighting again tonight
C
Not if she knows I adore you
Em
Fighting in the streets
Riff 2
Am C Fmaj7 Em Riff 1
I laugh and fall just like Grimaldi
B7 Ebdim7 Em
You wear your make-up like Baby Jane
Am C Fmaj7 Em Riff 1
All of those promising lies that you told me
B7 Ebdim7 Em Riff 2
Come on and tell me them again
Am C Fmaj7 Em Riff 1
I walked these streets all of my life
B7 Ebdim7 Em Riff 2
The fear and hope at every turn
Am C Fmaj7 Em Riff 1
She took him, two stepped me and made him a wife
B7 Ebdim7 Em
Oh I know, and you know they'll crash an burn
(Em) Am C Fmaj7 Em Riff 1
Because she'll tell him what she wants and he'll avoid it
B7 Ebdim7 Em Riff
May as well tell it to the sick and to the damned
Am C Fmaj7 Em Riff 1
Show him what you love, watch him destroy it
B7 Ebdim7 Em
For your love seems to crumble in his hands
(Em) Am C Fmaj7 Em Riff 1
Because you tell me what you want and I'll avoid it
B7 Ebdim7 Em Riff 2
Tell it to the sick and to the damned
Am C Fmaj7 Em Riff 1
Show me what you love, watch me destroy it
B7 Ebdim7 Em
For your love just crumbles in my hands
