[Vers 1]
E A B A
I could easily stay in bed for years
E A B A
But that was never my ambition
E A B A
And keep the curtains drawn all day
E A B A
And watch the children's television
A B A B
Don't treat me gently I'm still alive
[Chorus]
E A B A
Marguerite Yourcenar in the pocket of my car
E A B A
Marguerite Yourcenar pushed the realms of truth so far
E A B A
All the pictures look the same in this corner of the game
E A B A
Marguerite Yourcenar I know you
[Vers 2]
E A B A
There's been a funeral in my head
E A B A
I't taken time but I've recovered
E A B A
I still regret those things I said
E A B A
But there's no point when you're discovered
A B A B
Don't treat me gently I'm still alive
[Chorus]
E A B A
Marguerite Yourcenar in the pocket of my car
E A B A
Marguerite Yourcenar pushed the realms of truth so far
E A B A
All the pictures look the same in this corner of the game
E A B A
Marguerite Yourcenar I know you
[Bridge]
B E
And I bought you roses
B E
And I made you better
B E F# B
Pretending to love you turned into obsession
B E
And I felt I'd never end up
B E
Feeling this way
A B A B
Don't treat me gently I'm still alive
[Chorus]
E A B A
Marguerite Yourcenar in the pocket of my car
E A B A
Marguerite Yourcenar pushed the realms of truth so far
E A B A
All the pictures look the same in this corner of the game
E A B A
Marguerite Yourcenar I know you
E A B A
Marguerite ... Oh I never never never never never make a promise
E A B A
I can't keep I never never never never never make a promise
