[Intro]
| Emaj7 | Dmaj7sus2/E |
| Emaj7 | Dmaj7sus2/E |
[Verse 1]
Emaj7 Dmaj7sus2/E
A pretty girl bout a line
Emaj7 Dmaj7sus2/E
It didn't cost her very much
Emaj7 Dmaj7sus2/E
An hour or so of her time
Emaj7 Dmaj7sus2/E
A little bit of tenderness and such
[Chorus 1]
C Dsus2 E
And I set her in a beautiful light
C Dsus2 E
And I loved her in a beautiful way
C Dsus2 E
And I didn't think about all the loneliness and pain
Dsus2/E
I'd be living in the coming day
[Instrumental]
| Emaj7 | Dmaj7sus2/E |
| Emaj7 | Dmaj7sus2/E |
[Verse 2]
Emaj7 Dmaj7sus2/E
A chord on a couple of corny lines
Emaj7 Dmaj7sus2/E
Played then gone no one listened anyway
Emaj7 Dmaj7sus2/E
Close your eyes and try to sleep
Emaj7 Dmaj7sus2/E
Turn your head away and let that poor boy weep
[Chorus 2]
C Dsus2 E
It's been empty for us for such a long time
C Dsus2 E
And the rhymes are all slipping away
C Dsus2 E
And everybody's singing and you can't get away
Dsus2/E
And you must be everything they say
[Instrumental]
| Emaj7 | Dmaj7sus2/E |
| Emaj7 | Dmaj7sus2/E |
| Emaj7 | Dmaj7sus2/E |
| Emaj7 | Dmaj7sus2/E |
| Emaj7 | Dmaj7sus2/E |
[Chorus 3]
C Dsus2 E
And the Jesus is hidden away
C Dsus2 E
And the God won't give me a hand
C Dsus2 E
And the devil sits and waits knowing that I'll come around
Dsus2/E
And for sure I'm easy prey
[Outro]
| Emaj7 | Dmaj7sus2/E |
