[Verse 1]
C# G#
You won the battle
C#
Who won the war
G# C#
Looking down the barrel of a gun that I adore
B A#m F F# F#
I cannot feed a fire if I haven't got a lung full
[Verse 2]
C# G#
Wake up on Sunday
C#
Without a thought
G# C#
Standing like a pillar in a holiday resort
B A#m F F# F# F F#
I swept my ankles cleanly on the cotton sheets that you bought
[Chorus]
G#
Hold my face up to the rain
A#m D#m
I'll never love you like that again
G# C# C#
But I don't mind pretending if I get to hear your voice again
[Verse 3]
C#
Put on my shorts
G# C#
And tried to play the field
G# C#
Romance is a crop that modern culture cannot yield
B A#m F F# F#
So I hang up my dancing shoes and then I put up my shield
[Verse 4]
C# G#
I've seen you drinking
C#
I've seen you drunk
G# C#
Leaning like a corpse against the backdrop of the sun
B
And I still think you're pretty baby
A#m F F# F# F F#
I still think you're the one
[Chords]
F# G#
Hold my face up to the rain
A#m D#m
I'll never love you like that again
G# C# C#
But I don't mind pretending if I get to hear your voice again
[Verse 5]
C#
Spoke to my doctor
G# C#
He said I've passed my peak
C#
All my eggs are dying
G# C#
In my twenties I'm antique
B
And I never learned to drive
A#m F F# F#
And I never harnessed my mystique
[Verse 6]
C# G# C#
I spend my days in the solace of my room
C#
Pulling pubic hairs from the crotch
G# C#
Of my swimming costume
B
And I don't like the president
A#m F F# F# F F#
And I don't like your perfume
[Chorus]
F# G#
Hold my face up to the rain
A#m D#m
I'll never love you like that again
D#m
But baby you can call me
G#
If you're ever horny
F A#m
I know you like to hear your name
F# G# F# F# Am G#
But I don't mind pretending if I get to hear your voice again
