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