Chords for Lloyd Cole, 'Lost Weekend', 1985

[A] _ [E] _ _ [F#m] _ _ [D] Sick [A] of lost [E] weekend [Bm] in a hotel in Amsterdam,
[A]
Double [E] pneumonia [F#m] in a single [D] room,
And [A] the sickest [E] joke [F#m] was the price of [D] medicine,
[A] I'm a-laughin' happily [E] now, may [F#m] I please laugh [D] [A] along? _
_ [E] _ _ [F#m] _ _ [D] _ _ [A] _
_ [B] _ _ _ [F#m] [D] Spent [A] an hour [E] up, [F#m] rollin' deep up, [D] quiet sleep,
[A] With ice [E]-trick clothes and [F#m] this lonely [D] hard-handed [A] wish,
I wrote the year [E]-end love song [F#m] in tattoo [D] form,
The [A] palm just stole it from [E] me when [F#m] Jesus took [D] my hand,
See, [A]
I, [E] _ _ [F#m] I would [D] say if I [A] didn't mean [E] it,
_ [F#m] Drop [D] an animal, [A]
please, [E] it's _ [F#m] so [D] easy,
[A] _

_ [E] _ [B] _ _ [F#m] _ [D] _ _ [A] _
_ [E] _ _ [F#m] I [D] _ _ [A] _
_ [E] _ _ [B] _ [F#m] _ [D] _ [A] would gaze [E] kitten-ly with [F#m] a hateful [D] attitude,
[A] While my heart in my [E] sleeve, like [F#m] a stain in [D] my pain,
Was the [A] clue _ [E] used, [F#m] could we meet in [D] the marketplace?
[A] I ever had [E] a place that you [F#m] were on [D] my knees,
See, [A]
I, [E] I [F#m] _ [D] would say if I [A] didn't mean [G#m] _ [F#m] it,
Drop [D] an animal for [A] a piece of [E] truth, yeah,
[F#m] It's [D] too easy, [C] there's nobody else to [D] blame,
_ [C] I had my [D] head in a cryin' shame,
[C] There's nobody [Em] else [D] to blame,
_ _ [C]
Nobody [D] else, except my sweet self [A]
again,

_ _ [D] _ _ _ took [A] a long _ [E] weekend [F#m] in a hotel [D] in Amsterdam,
[A]
24 [E] gone years to [F#m] conclude in [D] tears,
That [A] was the sickest [E] joke, [F#m] was the price of [D] a medicine,
[A] Are you laughin' at [E] me now, may I [F#m] please laugh [D] along?
[A]
I [E] _ _ [F#m] _ _ [D] _ _ [A] _
_ [E] _ _ [F#m] _ _ [D] _ [A] was achin' [E] deep with a [F#m] hateful [D] attitude,
[A] With an ashtray [E] hard on my [F#m] sleeve,
You were [D] on my knees, and [A] my one love [E] song,
[F#m] Was a tattoo [D] upon my [A] palm, you wrote upon [E] me,
When you [F#m] took my [D] hand,
See, [A]
I, [E] _ _ [F#m] I would [D] say if I [A] didn't mean it,
[E] _ _ [F#m] Drop [D] an animal [A] for a piece [E] of [F#m] truth, yeah,
It's [D] too easy, [A] _
