Please welcome one of my all-time favorites Rufus Wainwright ladies [E] and gentlemen
[G#m] [E]
I'm [C#] gonna take you down [F#m] with one little [A] stone
[D#] I'm gonna [G#] break you [C#m] down and see what you're
[A#] worth
What [F#] you're really [B] worth
[A]
[B]
Dinner
[E] at [G#m]
[E] 8 was [C#]
okay before [F#m] the toast full of [A] greens
[F#m]
It was [G#] great [C#m] until those old magazines
[A#] got [F#] us started up [A]
again
[A#] Actually, it [G#m] was [C#m] probably [F#m] me [B] again
But why [E] is it [G#m] so [E]
that I've [C#] always been the [F#m] one who must go?
[D#] That I've [G#]
always [C#m] been the one [E] told to flee
[A#] When [F#] in fact you were the [F#m]
one long [A#]
[A] ago
[A#] Actually, in the [B] [G#m] drifting [C#m] [F#m] white snow
[B] Left [E] me
[G#m]
So [A] put up your
[C#m] fears
[F#]
[C#m] Now [A]
put up [C#m] mine
[F#]
[C#]
[G] Running away from [E] the scene of the crash
[G#m] [E] [A] God's chosen a [C#m] place
[A]
[F#m] Somewhere [B] near
[E] [G#m]
[F#m]
[B] the [E] end of our [G#m] lives
[E] But till [C#]
then, no daddy, [F#m] don't be surprised
[D#]
If [G#] I wanna see [C#m] the tears in your
[A#] eyes
Then I [F#]
know it [A] had to have been [A#] long ago
[A]
Actually,
[A#]
in the [B] [G#m] drifting [C#m] white [F#m]
snow
You [B]
loved me
[E] You loved me
[N]
