_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [G] Looking like a born again, _ living like a heretic,
_ Listening to [C] Arthur Lee records, making all your friends feel so guilty [G] about their cynicism,
_ And the rest of their generation, not even the [C] government, _ are [D] gonna stop [C] you now.
_ But are you [D] ready to be _ _ [C] heartbroken? _ _
Are you [D] ready to be _ _ _
[C] heartbroken?
_ _ [G] Pumped up full of vitamins, _ _ unaccountable to seriousness,
You say that you're [C] so happy now, you can hardly stand,
_ Lean [G] over on the bookcase, and if you really wanna get straight,
Read Norman Mailer, [C] _ get a new tail.
Are [D] you ready to be _ _ _ [C] heartbroken? _
_ Are [D] you ready to be _ _
_ [C] heartbroken?
_ _ [G] Are you ready to bleed? _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Em] _ _ What would [C] it take, what would it take, to wipe [F] that smile _ off [Em] of your [F] face? _ _ _
[Em] [C] Are you ready to be, are you ready to bleed?

[G] _ _ _ _ [D] I choose my friends only [G] far too well, I'm up [D] on the pavement,
They're [G] all down in the cellar with [D] their government grants,
[C] And my [G] IQ, [D] they brought me down to size, [G] I could tell me of [D] blues. _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ [D] Louise is a girl, [C] I [G] know her well, she's up [D] on the pavement,
Yeah, [C] she's a weather [G] girl, and I'm [D] staying up here,
So [G] I may be on time, she's [D] inappropriate, but [G] then she's much more fun,
[F] And _ [Am] _ when she smiles my way, _ my eyes go out [G] in vain,
_ _ She's got perfect skin.
_ [C] _ [G] _ [D] Shame on you, you got [G] no sense of grace, shame [D] on me,
Ah, [G] just in case I [D] might come to a conclusion,
[C] Other than [G] that which is absolutely [D] necessary, _ [C] and [G] that's perfect [D] skin. _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ [D] Louise is the girl [C] with the perfect [G] skin, she says [D] turn on the lights,
[C] Otherwise it might [G] get seen, she's [D] got cheekbones like [C] geometry,
And eyes [G] like sin, and [D] she's sexually enlightened [C] by _ [G] _ cosmopolitan [F] whisms.
And when she smiles my way, _ _ [Am] my eyes go out [G] in vain,
_ _ She's [F] got perfect [G] skin.
_ _ _ [D] Up eight flights of stairs [G] to a basement flat, pretty [D] confused, huh?
Being [G] shipped around like that seems [D] to climb so high,
Now [G] what's down so low strikes [D] me, the moral of this song must [G] be,
There never has [A] been one.
