[Intro]
C G Am E
[Verse 1]
C G Am
Is it really only midnight?
E
I swore that it was two
C
And a slow ballerina
G
Turns so sweetly in Rome
Am
As I sit here thinking of
E
All the places I have left to go
[Chorus]
C G Am
And I'll only ask one small thing from you
E
And I'll only ask this once
C G
When you talk about me to your friends
Am
Tell them about the girl you met
E
And not the one you know now
E (hold)
How she loved you and how she was good to you
[Interlude]
C G Am E
[Verse 2]
C G
I want to die like the girls in the movies
Am E
A virgin broadcasted for lightyears to come
C G
On the screens of a nation who will cry for her
Am
And say that they loved her and, though they never knew her
E
Remember things she did
Am E
Turn it off and it's all over
[Interlude]
C G Am E
[Outro]
C G
I want to be adored by everyone who sees me
Am E
To fall at my feet for no good reason I can offer you
C
Except that I need it
G Am
And I'll only ask one thing from you
E
And I'll only ask this once
C G
When you talk about me to your friends
Am
Tell them about the girl you met
E
And not the thing that I've become
C G
How you loved me and how I was good to you
Am
How you loved me and how I was good to you
E
I was good to you
