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

And I still think you're pretty baby

I still think you're the one
[Chords]

Hold my face up to the rain

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

But baby you can call me

If you're ever horny
C# F#m
I know you like to hear your name
D E D D Fm E
But I don't mind pretending if I get to hear your voice again
