Chords
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
