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