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