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