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