Intro
E F#m G#m F#m E
[Verse 1]
E F#m
The man was trying to talk to me
G#m F#m
about scenes I did not know.
E F#m
He asked me to spend the night with him,
G#m B
so I said that I'd have to go.
E
For the words spilled out
G#m
from the edge of his lips
A E
and fell down the side of his chin
E F#m
as my mind moved away for a short holiday
A E
with a girl I had seen coming in
[Verse 2]
E F#m
In her hair, you could smell the diesel fumes
G#m F#m
of a midnight motorway.
E F#m
In her eyes, she keeps the summer times
G#m B
where happier memories play.
E
Yes, you know how sometimes,
G#m
when you're making up rhymes
A E
and you can't find a word that will fit?
E F#m
Well, she was the one who got stuck on your tongue
A E
and gave you the option to quit.
[Interlude]
E F#m G#m F#m E
[Verse 3]
E F#m
She split the night time with her smile
G#m F#m
and broke up the sky with her dreams
E F#m
and she doesn't believe all the men she has known
G#m B
were all real, for that's how it seems.
E G#m
In her leather shines the darkness
A E
of the mentrrrrll??? parlour??? tonight,
E
and she'll cut out your tongue
F#m
with each blade that she pulls
A E
though your conscience may put up a fight.
[Verse 4]
E F#m
So, I watched her fumble with cigarettes
G#m F#m
and a trembling coffee cup.
E F#m
Yet, I'd be there myself if I knew where she was,
G#m B
but she sighed and her mind drifted off
E
Yes, you know sometimes
G#m
when you're watching for signs
A E
and you can't find a look that will fit?
E F#m
Well, she was the one who put out the sun
A E
and gave me a reason to quit.
[Interlude]
E F#m G#m F#m E
[Verse 5]
E F#m
Panes of glass have shattered now
G#m F#m
and the wind comes racing in
E F#m
to disconnect the spiders' webs
G#m B
the spread their wings round the brim
E
of the pots and the bottles
G#m
that soak in the dust
A E
with jungle of clothes that she keeps
E
incase, maybe some day
F#m
she feels that she may
A E
become queen of the night as she sleeps.
[Verse 6]
E F#m
B trail of broken effigies
G#m F#m
lay scattered 'round her bed
E F#m
the apples, the records, the cigarette ash
G#m B
have melted into her head
E G#m
and she takes off her clothes to a Portuguese hymn
A E
that she found in a jar on the beach
E F#m
she has woven it seems a basket of dreams
A E
for the fruit that just out of reach.
[Interlude]
E F#m G#m F#m E
[Verse 7]
E F#m
At last, she has tasted the opium sleep
G#m F#m
and wonders just how it will feel
E F#m
when the fingers of fear touch her innermost soul
G#m B
and the breath of life becomes real
E
Well, you know how sometimes
G#m
you're alone in your mind
A E
and you've just found a piece that will fit?
E
Well, she was the one
F#m
when all's said and done.
A E
who gave me the freedom to quit
[Verse 8]
E F#m
The man was still trying to talk to me
G#m F#m
about scenes I did not know.
E F#m
He asked me to enter a contract with him
G#m B
so I said that I'd have to go.
E
For the words spilled out
G#m
from the edge of his mouth
A E
and fell down the side of his face
E
but my mind was away
F#m
on a short holiday
A E
with a girl I'd seen leaving the place.
