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