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