B                 F#   E                   B
It's your bicycle bells and your Rembrandt swells
	
               F#       E           B
Your children alive and still breathing
	
D#m              A   E                    B
And your look of lost when you're coming across
	
        F#               E                B
Makes me feel like a thief when you're bleeding

Verse 2
	
B           F#      E                     B
With the Persian sea running through your veins
	
     F#              E           B
You shed your names with the seasons
	
D#m        A         E               B
Still they all return with their last remains
	
           F#             E        B
And they lay them before you like reasons
	
                    F#    E             B
With your shimmering dress, it says 'no', it says 'yes'
	
             F#               E     B
It says 'I've nothing left for concealing'
	
D#m            A         E             B
It's your shiftless flesh and your old girl's grace
	
               F#               E       B
It's your young girl's face that I'm breathing

B        F#      E        B                F#
Duchess, Duchess, Duchess, put all the love back in me
	
E(add9)          B(add9)
I'm lying, she's crying
