[Verse 1]
E B
You won the battle
E
Who won the war
B E
Looking down the barrel of a gun that I adore
D C#m G# A A
I cannot feed a fire if I haven't got a lung full
[Verse 2]
E B
Wake up on Sunday
E
Without a thought
B E
Standing like a pillar in a holiday resort
D C#m G# A A G# A
I swept my ankles cleanly on the cotton sheets that you bought
[Chorus]

Hold my face up to the rain
C#m F#m
I'll never love you like that again
B E E
But I don't mind pretending if I get to hear your voice again
[Verse 3]
E
Put on my shorts
B E
And tried to play the field

Romance is a crop that modern culture cannot yield
D C#m G# A A
So I hang up my dancing shoes and then I put up my shield
[Verse 4]

I've seen you drinking

I've seen you drunk

Leaning like a corpse against the backdrop of the sun

I still think you're the one

Spoke to my doctor

He said I've passed my peak

All my eggs are dying
B E
In my twenties I'm antique
D
And I never learned to drive
C#m G# A A
And I never harnessed my mystique
[Verse 6]
E B E
I spend my days in the solace of my room
E
Pulling pubic hairs from the crotch
B E
Of my swimming costume
D
And I don't like the president
C#m G# A A G# A
And I don't like your perfume
[Chorus]

Hold my face up to the rain

If you're ever horny

I know you like to hear your name
A B A A Cm B
But I don't mind pretending if I get to hear your voice again
