_ _ [Bm] _ _ [D] _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ _ [Bm] I [E] was looking for a rhyme for [Bm] the New York [F#m] Times, in a sense that I was not [A] alone.
_ She said, [E] you know how to spell _ [Bm] audaciously, [F#m] I could tell I was in [A] love.
And so [E] I paused, a smile contrary [Bm] to my [F#m] style, and she looked into my [A] eyes.
She said, [E] you want to go to [Bm] heaven, or would [F#m] you rather not be [A] saved?
Here [Bm] comes my train, _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ I'm [D] on my _ way.
_ Oh, will you [F#m] not see, I don't [G] need your sympathy.
[F#m] _ _
I won't [G] read your poetry, [A] oh, sweetness, [E] please.
_ _ [Bm] _ _
[D] _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _
_ [D] _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _
[D] So [E] she took me back to [Bm] a basement flat, [F#m] which was down on Charlotte [A] Street. _
Though it [E] was never my [Bm] intention, though we were [F#] not intense, not [A] pleased.
Because, well, if [E] you must just hate, then I'm [Bm] a piece of cake, [F#m] that is what she said to [A] me. _
And so [E] I gave myself to [Bm] her charity, [F#m] well at least that's how it [A] seemed.
Here comes [Bm] my train, _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
I'm [D] on my way.
_ What [Bm] got into [F#m] me, _ I [G] don't need your sympathy.
[F#m] _ _ I [G] won't read your [A] poetry, oh, [E] bittersweet. _
_ _ [Bm] _ _ _ [F#m] _ _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _

_ _ [Bm] _ _ _ [F#m] _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ [Bm] I was [E] looking for a ride [Bm] for the New York Times [F#m] when I was distracted.
_ _ [A] _ _ Yes, [E] those were precious times [Bm] together [F#m] that we wasted.
_ _ [A] _ _ _ [E] Now I'm working hard [Bm] for my union card, I [F#m] must be leaving Charlotte [A] Street.
Though [E] it was never my [Bm] intention to stay [F#m] so long, _ _ [A] _ so [E] long. _
