_ Last time I saw Richard was Detroit in 68 [Am] and he told me,
All romantics meet the same fate someday,
Cynical and bitter and boring, someone in [G] some dark cafe. _
_ You laughed, he said, you think you're [Am] immune,
Go look at your eyes, they're full of moon,
You like roses and kisses and pretty men are [G] telling you all those pretty lies,
[C] Pretty lies,
When are you gonna [F] realize they're only pretty lies,
[G] Only pretty lies,
_ [Am] _ Pretty lies,
[D] _ _ _ [G] _ He put a quarter in the Wurlitzer,
[Am] And then he pushed three buttons and the thing began to work,
And a waitress came by in fishnet stockings and a bow tie and she [G] said,
Drink up now, it's getting on time to close,
_ Richard, you haven't really changed, I said,
[Am] It's just that now you're romanticizing some pain that's in your head,
You got tombs in your eyes for the songs you punched [G] a dream in,
Listen, they talk of [C] love so sweet,
When are you gonna [F] get back on your feet,
[G] Love can be so sweet,
_ [Am] Love so sweet,
_ [D] _ _ _
[G] _ Richard got married to a figure skater,
[Am] And he bought her a dishwasher and a coffee percolator,
And he drinks at home now, most nights with the TV on and all [G] the house lights left upright, _
_ I'm gonna blow this damn candle out,
[Am] I don't want nobody coming over to my table, I got nothing to talk to anybody about,
All good dreamers pass this way someday, hiding behind [G] bottles in dark cafes, _
[F] Dark cafes,
[C] Only this darkness [F] before I get my gorgeous wings and fly [G] away,
_ [Am] Only a phase, these dark [D] cafe days,
_ [C] _ _ [Em] _ _ _
