C G
C F G
 
[Verse 1]
C G
Next to the club where your girlfriend
C F
Is dancing on the bar
C G
I left a stain on your glass
C F G
You called it a scar
 
C G
Speaking in tongues though tar-paved lungs
C F
The boy fell off his chair
C G
Too drunk to notice
C F G
And too lost to care
 
[Chorus]
C D7
And you find that your life is a frustrated vision
F G
Of Gauguins, Rodins, excellent diction
C G
Mint Juleps and needles don't add up to wisdom
C F
You're cracked, you've gone mad, makes me so sad
C F G N.C.
That I like you better than most of the men
C F G
I've had
 
[Verse 2]
C G
He took my hand by the Charles
C F
And said "Art is my only desire"
C G
Then spit out his drink, headed back
C F G
To the bar room choir
 
C G
She said madness is triggered by sadness
C F
You slip down the fire escape
C G
The rain on the rooftops is silenced by sirens and violence
C F G
You walk like a man but your heart has been raped
 
[Chorus]
C D7
And you find that your life is a frustrated vision
F G
Of Gauguins, Rodins, excellent diction
C G
Mint Juleps and needles don't add up to wisdom
C F
You're cracked, you've gone mad, makes me so sad
C F G N.C.
I like you better than most of the men
C F G
I've had
 
[Verse 3]
C G
And next to the club where your girlfriend
C F
Is dancing on the bar
C G
I left a stain on your glass
C F G
You called it a scar

[Verse 4]
C G
Half a glass of cognac
C F
And a punch in the mouth
C G
We are the people our parents
C F G
Warned us about
 
C G
And he struck me like a matchstick
C F
Only to prove
C G
There's really nothing at all
C F G
I have to lose
 
[Chorus]
C D7
And you find that your life is a frustrated vision
F G
Of Gauguins, Rodins, excellent diction
C G
Mint Juleps and needles don't add up to wisdom
C F
You're cracked, you've gone mad, hopelessly sad
C F G N.C.
That I like you better than most of the men
C F G
I've had
 
[Verse 5]
C G
And next to the club where your girlfriend
C F
Sells herself on - on the bar
C G
I left a stain on your glass
C F G
You called it a scar
