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

But I don't mind pretending if I get to hear your voice again
[Verse 5]
A#
Spoke to my doctor
F A#
He said I've passed my peak
A#
All my eggs are dying
F A#
In my twenties I'm antique
G#
And I never learned to drive
Gm D D# D#
And I never harnessed my mystique
[Verse 6]
A# F A#
I spend my days in the solace of my room
A#
Pulling pubic hairs from the crotch
F A#
Of my swimming costume
G#
And I don't like the president
Gm D D# D# D D#
And I don't like your perfume
[Chorus]
D# F
Hold my face up to the rain
Gm Cm
I'll never love you like that again
Cm
But baby you can call me
F
If you're ever horny
D Gm
I know you like to hear your name
D# F D# D# F#m F
But I don't mind pretending if I get to hear your voice again
