INTRO:  F  Am  Bb  C  Dm


F                  Am       Bb   C     Dm
Princess cards she sends me with her regards
    Gm                 Dm         Bb                     C
Oh, barroom eyes shine vacancy to see her you gotta look hard
F               Am             Bb                C         Dm
Wounded deep in battle I stand stuffed like some soldier undaunted
       Gm                  Dm                  Bb         C     Bb  Am
To her Cheshire smile I'll stand on file she's all I ever wanted
Gm      Bb            C                F            Am
But you let your blue walls get in the way of these facts
       Bb             C       F      Am
Honey, get your carpetbaggers off my back
    Bb                    C       F        Am
You wouldn't even give me time to cover my tracks
         Csus4                       C
You said here's your mirror and your ball and jacks
    Csus4                   C           Csus4             C
But they're not what I came for and I'm sure you see that too

           Dm       Am   Gm         Bb   C       Dm
I came for you, for you, I came for you, but you did not need my urgency
                    Am   Gm         Bb   C        Dm
I came for you, for you, I came for you, but your life was one long emergency
         Fsus4              F       Fsus4               F  Dm C
and your cloud line urges me and my electric surges free


F             Am             Bb       C       Dm
Crawl into my ambulance your pulse is getting weak
      Gm                Dm                   Bb                         C
Oh, reveal yourself all now to me girl while you've got the strength to speak
              F                  Am       Bb         C      Dm
Cause they're waiting for you at Bellevue with their oxygen masks
    Gm              Dm                Bb             C  Bb  Am
But I could give it all to you now if only you could ask
Gm        Bb            C            F                Am
And don't call for your surgeon even he says it's too late
              Bb         C              F                     Am
It's not your lungs this time it's your heart that holds your fate
      Bb         C             F               Am
Don't give me my money, honey, I don't want it back
             Csus4              C
You and your pony face and your Union Jack
     Csus4                     C
Well take your local joker and teach him how to act
  Csus4                           C
I swear I was never that way even when I really cracked
Csus4              C                  Dm            Am         Gm  Bb
Didn't you think I knew that you were born with the power of a locomotive
C       Dm
Able to leap tall buildings in a single bound
                    Am             Gm     Bb
And your Chelsea suicide with no apparent motive
C         Dm
You could laugh and cry in a single sound


SOLO:  Fsus4  F  Fsus4  F


         C                              Bb                F
And your strength is devastating in the face of all these odds
  C                                         Bb                C
Remember how I kept you waiting when it was my turn to be the God


    F                  Am                   Bb        C             Dm
Ah, you were not quite half so proud when I found you broken on the beach
      Gm                  Dm                      Bb               C
Oh, remember how I poured salt on your tongue and hung just out of reach
        F                    Am                  Bb  C           Dm
And the band they played the homecoming theme as I caressed your cheek
           Gm             Dm               Bb                  C    Bb  Am
Yeah, that ragged, jagged melody she still clings to me like a leech
Gm       Bb                     C            F          Am
But that medal you wore on your chest always got in the way
       Bb                 C         F               Am
Like a little girl with a trophy so soft to buy her way
        Csus4                             C
We were both hitchhikers but you had your ear tuned to the roar
        Csus4                       C
Of some metal tempered engine on an alien distant shore
       Csus4                                 C
So you left to find a better reason than the one we were living for
                  Csus4           C
And it's not that nursery mouth I came back for
             Csus4                    C
And it's not the way you're stretched out on the floor
           Csus4                            C
cause I've broken all your windows and I've rammed through all your doors
    Csus4                  C
And who am I to ask you to lick my sores
    Csus4                  C
And you should know that's true

C Bb   C   Dm       Am   Gm         Bb   C       Dm
I came for you, for you, I came for you, but you did not need my urgency
                    Am   Gm         Bb   C        Dm
I came for you, for you, I came for you, but your life was one long emergency
         Fsus4              F       Fsus4               F
and your cloud line urges me and my electric surges free


OUTRO:  Dm  C  Bb Bb  C
        Dm  C  Bb Bb  C
        Dm  C  Bb Bb  C
        Dm  C  Bb Bb  C
        Dm  Am  Gm  Bb
