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