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