_ [Bm] _ _ _ [C#m] _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ Now [A] should you expect to see something [Bm] that you hadn't seen [C#m] in somebody you've known [D] since
you were 16?
[E]
If love is [D] a bird from the blue, then what is it but [A] a glorified screw [D] that doesn't hold [E] nothing together?
_ _ [A] Far from these nonsense [Bm] bars and that nowhere [C#m] music, it's making me [D] sick.
I know it's making [E] you sick, there's nothing [F#m] that's like eating [D] eggs, like drinking gin
with [A] nothing else [D] in, and that doesn't hold me [E] together. _
_ But [A] for one, I [Bm] cried it out, [C#m] you were the only [D] one in the room.
[E] I'd sail around [F#m] all those bumps in the night [D] till you'd be gone in the [A] _ [C#] gloom.
I thought I'd [D] find my calling in September, [A] in the middle of that [F#m] part of June.
[A] But one _ [Bm] crowded hour [D]
would lead [E] to my wrecking [A] ruin.
I know you'd like me, oh boy, to [Bm] take the medicine [A] from the [C#m] bowl of this [D] silver spoon.
[E] Who'd run away with a [F#m] dish and scared fish [D] by the silvery [A] light of the moon? _
[C#] Who'd tore from the [D] womb, believed to the [A] tune that his voice had [F#m] bleeding as pain?
[A] Is it pleasure payment [Bm] for them, visit and [D] rent for them, not [E] for the [A] likes of me?
Not [D] for the likes of [E] you and _ _ _ me?
[A] But one [Bm] cried it out, [A] you were the only [D] one in the room.
[E] I'd sail around [F#m] all those bumps in the [D] night till you'd be [A] gone in the gloom.
_ [C#] _ _
[D] I thought I'd find my calling in September, [A] in the middle of that [F#m] part of June.
[A] But one [Bm] cried it [D] out, you were the only [E]
[A] one in the room.
[E] Oh, but the green eyes _ [C#m] of this old [Bm] _
[A] man, _ [E] she'd take them to [C#m] her, my [Bm] _
[A] _ hands.
[F#m] _ Oh, I know [B] you're lying.
[C#m] _ [Bm] Oh, but [E] this old man, until they stopped [A] saying well.
[Bm] _ _ _
[C#m] _ _ [C#] _ [D] _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ [F#m] _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
[C#] _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ [F#m] _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ [Bm] _ _ _
[D] _ _ [E] [A] That was near the case [Bm] for the lines, I love [A] to speak in line.
In [D] fact, I know the [E] language well.
I [F#m] picked it up [D] while I was losing myself [A] in the language they'd been [Bm] giving.
Yeah, I love the [C#m] silence gave birth [D] to it, baby.
[E] They took you [F#m] away to a silent display, [D] they raised you to be [A] lady.
That's [D] what you can't keep up, [E] now.
So, _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ [Bm] _
you [A] were [C#m] the only one [D] in the room.
[E] I'd sail [F#m] around all those bumps in the night [D] till you'd be gone [A] in the gloom.
[C#] I thought I'd find [D] my calling in [A] September, in the middle of that [F#m] part of June.
_ [A] But one [B] cried it out, [D] we'd leave [E] the matter [A] at your room.
Yes, and one [Bm] cried it to [A] you, and you were the only one [D] in the room.
[E] I'd lay you down [F#m] in those bumps in the night, [D] in fact, I played this [A] back to you.
You said, [C#] what is it, [D] girl, _ _
[A] _ I don't [F#m] listen to you. _
[A] And one [Bm] cried it out, [D] we'd leave the [E] matter at [A] your room.
Yes, and one [Bm] cried it out, [D] we'd leave the [E] matter at [A] your room.
Oh, _ [Bm] cried it out, [D] we'd [E] leave the matter at [A] your room. _
