[A]
[C]
[Bm] [F]
[E]
[E] [F#m]
True love is [A] a rose behind [Bm] glass That's locked and [F#] kept closed
Maybe just [A] to me, cause my heart's been [C] attacked [Bm] And shattered by [F] a tough love, [E] bad love
[F#m] So I bought mine off [A] the street [Bm] True love, man, it just can't [F#] be beat
I felt so [A] complete Married [C] to heavenly [G] bodies [F] apart
[E]
And [A#] each night I'd look up at [Am] a bride [E] [F]
[E]
[F#m] Cause it sure seemed built [A] to last
And [Bm] even after my honeymoon [F#]
passed I [A] kept my riveted man like [C] a ghost
Till [Bm] my house [F] was haunted [E] Day
[F#m]
after [A]
day
[Bm] I'd steal my true love [F#] away To [A] some high-up left [C] undisturbed
Who could [Bm] do what [F] I wanted But [E]
I [A#] started to [Dm] feel like [Am] a liar
Saying I [E] love [F]
you
She
[D] was madly in love, a [C] mad mean There was no in [A#]-between
It raised my [E] alarm [D] I found I can't make [C] her stand
I'm her hired [A#] hand I have to [E] do harm
[F#] [F#m]
One day I [A] got sick She [Bm] played me a nasty [F#] old trick
[A] Said I need cigarettes [C] Walked round the [G] block called [F] a cab
[E]
[F#] [F#m]
Stayed gone for [A] too long [Bm] My love had gotten so [F#] strong
Just [A] to try being back on [C] my own I had to go [F] to rehab
[E]
[D]
All [C] I need is a safe place [A#] to be This is where [E] it's at
[D]
Had for [C] no chance, steps in a [A#] dance Rested my life spinning [E] combat
Now I'm [F#m] the king of [A] the ward Cause [A] I'm good and I swallow [D] my sword
Puke it out for the doctor [G] to write me [Bm] [F] prescription
[E]
[F#] [F#m]
Tranquil as [A] a dove [Bm] People that have lost their [F#] true love
[A] They've all seemed [C] to fit the same [F] description I [E]
[A#] feel cold, useless [Am] and old
I wish I [E] was no
[F] one
[A]
[D] Take me out my [A] world
[D] Take me out [A] today
Take me out of this place
[D] Take me [F#] out with you [Em] today
[A] [Dm]
