[F#] [G]
[D] [E]
[F#] [G]
[A] [E] Sobriety,
[A] greed, sincerity, [A] and Lydia [Em]
Ponge is [F#] my gravity.
[G]
I don't [A] know how she [Em] felt when [F#] she took that [G] E, but in [A] the morning she was [E] shaking, she
was twitching, she was [Am] jerking.
[A] June the [Em] 5th, she moved [F#] to [G] Paris.
She could [D] not stand [Em] the state of [F#] British politics.
[G]
And [D] I just [Em] can't convince her that [F#] I'm socialist.
[G]
[A] And every night [D] I pray [E] for mail in the morning.
And sweet [A] Lydia Ponge [D] is [A] doing it for me.
[D] And I want [A] to send [Em] a hymn to [A] the postal service, [D] sinful [A] and proud.
Since I [D] stopped sleeping [A] around, [D] I'm so [A] faithful now.
[G] [E] Lydia's handwriting [G] makes me guess the circumstances under which she wrote it.
[D] Why she used the F word when she [F#m] never ever spoke [E] it.
She pasted on a passport photo of herself in [A] pigtails.
And underneath she'd written, did my touch make you less lonely?
Oh, [D] she promised [Em] me that we'd [C#] be creasing [G] sheets and that [D] our bodies would [Em] be bruising,
wrestling [F#] [G] underneath.
And [D] I wanted [Em] to ask her how [F#] she cut her [G] teeth [A] and how she let [E] time slip through her skinny skin fingers.
And [D] oh, sweet [A] Lydia Ponge [Dm] is doing it [A] for me.
[D] And I want to send a hymn to the postal [D] service, sinful [A] and proud.
Since I stopped sleeping around, [D] I'm so [A] faithful now.
[Em] To Lydia's handwriting.
[D] Oh, sweet [A] Lydia Ponge is doing it for me.
