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