[Verse 1]
D A
You won the battle
D
Who won the war
A D
Looking down the barrel of a gun that I adore
C Bm F# G G
I cannot feed a fire if I haven't got a lung full
[Verse 2]
D A
Wake up on Sunday
D
Without a thought
A D
Standing like a pillar in a holiday resort
C Bm F# G G F# G
I swept my ankles cleanly on the cotton sheets that you bought
[Chorus]
A
Hold my face up to the rain
Bm Em
I'll never love you like that again
A D D
But I don't mind pretending if I get to hear your voice again
[Verse 3]
D
Put on my shorts
A D
And tried to play the field
A D
Romance is a crop that modern culture cannot yield
C Bm F# G G
So I hang up my dancing shoes and then I put up my shield
[Verse 4]
D A
I've seen you drinking
D
I've seen you drunk
A D
Leaning like a corpse against the backdrop of the sun

And I still think you're pretty baby

I still think you're the one
[Chords]

Hold my face up to the rain
Bm Em
I'll never love you like that again

But I don't mind pretending if I get to hear your voice again

Spoke to my doctor
A D
He said I've passed my peak
D
All my eggs are dying
A D
In my twenties I'm antique
C
And I never learned to drive
Bm F# G G
And I never harnessed my mystique
[Verse 6]
D A D
I spend my days in the solace of my room
D
Pulling pubic hairs from the crotch
A D
Of my swimming costume
C
And I don't like the president
Bm F# G G F# G
And I don't like your perfume
[Chorus]
G A
Hold my face up to the rain
Bm Em
I'll never love you like that again
Em
But baby you can call me
A
If you're ever horny
F# Bm
I know you like to hear your name
G A G G A#m A
But I don't mind pretending if I get to hear your voice again
