A# D#
[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# Cm G 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# Cm G G# G# G G#
I swept my ankles cleanly on the cotton sheets that you bought
[Chorus]
A#
Hold my face up to the rain
Cm Fm
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# Cm G 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
C#
And I still think you're pretty baby
Cm G G# G# G G#
I still think you're the one
[Chords]
G# A#
Hold my face up to the rain
Cm Fm
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 5]
D#
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
Cm G 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
Cm G G# G# G G#
And I don't like your perfume
[Chorus]
G# A#
Hold my face up to the rain
Cm Fm
I'll never love you like that again
Fm
But baby you can call me
A#
If you're ever horny
G Cm
I know you like to hear your name
G# A# G# G# Bm A#
But I don't mind pretending if I get to hear your voice again
