[Verse 1]
B F#
You won the battle

Who won the war
F# B
Looking down the barrel of a gun that I adore
A G#m D# E E
I cannot feed a fire if I haven't got a lung full
[Verse 2]

Wake up on Sunday
B
Without a thought
F# B
Standing like a pillar in a holiday resort
A G#m D# E E D# E
I swept my ankles cleanly on the cotton sheets that you bought
[Chorus]
F#
Hold my face up to the rain
G#m C#m
I'll never love you like that again
F# B B
But I don't mind pretending if I get to hear your voice again

B
Put on my shorts
F# B
And tried to play the field

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

I've seen you drinking

I still think you're the one

Hold my face up to the rain

Spoke to my doctor

He said I've passed my peak

All my eggs are dying
F# B
In my twenties I'm antique
A
And I never learned to drive
G#m D# E E
And I never harnessed my mystique
[Verse 6]
B F# B
I spend my days in the solace of my room
B
Pulling pubic hairs from the crotch
F# B
Of my swimming costume

And I don't like the president
G#m D# E E D# E
And I don't like your perfume
[Chorus]

Hold my face up to the rain

But baby you can call me

If you're ever horny

I know you like to hear your name

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