[F] [Bb] [Am]
[Bb] [C] [Dm]
[F] Princess card [Am] she sends me [Bb] [C] with her [Dm] regards, [Gm] oh borrow my [Dm] shine vacancy,
[Bb] to see her you gotta [C] look hard.
[F] Wounded deep [Am] in battle I [Bb] stand, stuffed [C] like some [Dm] soldier undaunted,
[G] to her gesture smile [Dm] I'll stand on a fly, [Bb] she's all I [C] ever wanted.
[Gm] [Am] [C]
Oh but [Bb] you let your [C] blue walls get [F] in the way of [Am] these flags,
[Bb] honey [C] get your cobbler's [F] baggers [Am] off my back, [Bb] you wouldn't [C] even give me [F] time to cover [Am] my tracks,
you said [F] here's your mirror and [C] your ball and jacks, [F] but they're not what I [C] came for,
and [F] I'm sure you see that [C] too.
I came [Dm] for you, [Am] for you, [G] I came [Bb] for [C] you, [Dm] but you did not need my urgency,
I came for you, [Am] for you, [G] I came [Bb] for [C] you, but [Dm] your life was one long emergency,
and [Bb] your cloud line [F] urges me, when my [Bb] electric circles [F] break.
[C]
[F] Or a call into [Am] my ambulance, [Bb] you're also [C] getting [Dm] weak,
[Gm] or be yourself [Dm] on now, tell me girl [Bb] why you got the strength [C] to speak,
[F] cause they're waiting for you [Am] at Bellevue, [Bb] with [C] their [Dm] oxygen masks,
[Gm] but I could give [Dm] it all to you now [Bb] if only you could [C] [Bb] ask.
[Am] [C] Oh and don't [Bb] call [C] for your surgeon [F] even he [Am] says it's too late,
it's [Bb] not your [C] lungs this time it's your [F] heart that [Am] holds your faith,
[Bb] don't give [C] me my [F] money honey I don't [Am] want it back,
[F] you and your phony [C] face and your union jack,
[F] will take your local [C] joker and teach you how to act,
[F] I swear I was never that [C] way even when I really cracked.
[F] Didn't you think [C] I knew that you were [Dm] born with [Am] the power [Gm] of a [Bb] [Am] locomotive,
[Dm] able to lift tall buildings in a single bound,
and your Chelsea [Am]
suicide with [Gm] no [Bb] firing [C] mode,
if you [Dm] could laugh and cry in a single sound.
[Bb]
[F] And [Bb]
[F] the [C] strength [Bb] is [C] devastating, in [Bb] the face of all [F] these odds,
[C] remember how I kept you waiting, when [Bb] it was my turn to be [C] the guy,
[F] [Am] cause I laughed so proud [Bb] when I found you [C] broken [Dm] on the beach,
[Gm] remember how I [Dm] poured salt on your [Bb] tongue and hung just [C] out of reach,
[F] and the band that [Am] played the homecoming theme,
that [Bb] I [C] caressed [Dm] your teeth,
[Gm] that rag [Dm] tag melody,
[Bb] she still clings to me [C] like a [Bb] leech,
[Am] [Gm] [Bb] that nail [C] you wore on your [F] chest always got [Am] in the way,
[Bb] like a little [C] girl with a trophy [F] so soft to [Am] buy her way,
we [F] were both itch hikers,
[C] and you're stuned to the roar,
of some metal temper engine on an alien distant shore,
[F] so you left to find a better [C] reason than the one we were living for,
and it's not that nursery mouth I came back for,
[F] and it's not that way you're stretched [C] out on the floor,
cause [F] I've broken all your windows,
[C] and I've ran through all your [F] doors,
and who am I to ask [C] you to lick my sore,
and you should [F] know [C] that's true,
[Bb] I [C] came [Dm] for you, [Am] for you, [Gm] I [Bb] came for [Am] you,
[Dm] but you did not need my urgency,
I came for [Am] you, for [Gm] you, I [Bb] came [C] for you,
[Dm] your life was one long emergency,
and [Bb] your cloud line [F] urges,
[Bb] warmed my electric [F] surgery,
[Bb] mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
