[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
