_ _ _ _ Comfort me, _ said she, _ _ with your _ _ [G] conversation,
_ _ [Bm] The cocktails and the [Bb] _ _ candlelight in [D] your _ eyes. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ It's funny how [Dbm] we hunger _ for [C] _
some _ _ [D] _ inspiration, _
Of [Bm] everything else that _ [Bb] money just won't [D] buy. _ _ _
_ _ [A] Men have [Bm] life, _ many good [A] girls have gone [G] astray,
_ _ Just to hear the gypsy play, [D] _ _ one more lil' tank top or [A] two. _ _
_ _ _ [Bb] _ _ And as [Bm] the rivers run dry and the [A] mountains blow _ [G] away,
They _ sing of lovers and how [D] they live _ _ beneath this _ crazy _ _
_ [A] frontier moon. _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [D] I ain't no golden boy, [Dbm] _ _ _ _
[C] I [D] ain't no Grecian [C] dancer,
_ [Bm] I ain't no _ loudmouth [Bb] _ cowboy from the [D] west. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ I'm _ _ _ not the kind of [Dbm] man with _ [C] _ _ all the answers,
_ And [Bm] I surely know _ the [Bb] songs that suit [D] me best. _ _ _ _ _
_ [Bm] But lately there's been [A] something on my [G] mind,
That's growing _ stronger all the [D]
time, _ _ calling out that I'm [A] alone.
_ _ _ _ [Bb] _
_ _ But I'm a [Bm] boy _ and I'm [A] bound to walk the [G] line,
_ _ Between the real and the sublime,
[D] _ _ And give the muses [E] _ back [A] their own.

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ a penny for your [Db] thoughts, _ _ [D] _ _ [C]
it's a dollar for your kisses, _
_ _ [Bm] _ _ Keep a running [Bb]
tab on the [D] time, _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Cause what I've got the [Dbm] most of is, _ _ [C] _ is what she _ misses.
_ The [Bm] clock is hers, the [Bb] _ _ _ hourglass [D]
is mine.
_ But _ _ [A]
I'm her [Bm] lover, _ not a [A]
man bent on [G] _ revenge, _
Hanging out here on the [D]
French, _ the land of [E] _
_ _ [A] borderlands.
_ _ _ [Bb] _
_ I count the [Bm] days the sun shone [A] golden across her [G] head,
_ Lying on the banks of the _ [D] Bayou's edge,
And kicking up some southeast _ [A] Texas _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] sand. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ Comfort me, [Db] _ said she, _ [C] _ with your _ _ _ [G] conversation,
_ With the [Bm] cocktails _ [Bb] and the _ candlelight in your [D] _ eyes. _ _ _
_ _ _ It's _ _ funny how we hunger [A] _ _ for [D] some _ _ _ _ inspiration,
_ [Bm] And everything else that [Bb] money just won't buy.
[D] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[C] Everything else that [Bm] money _ [Bb] just _ [D] won't buy. _ _ _
