[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 E 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
