[B] [E]
[G#m] [C#m]
[B] [E] You shake your hips, you steal [G#m] your lips, [C#m] I can make that feel.
[B] [C#m] And all I say is, who [G#m] you make believe, cause I [C#m] can handle it.
[B] [C#m] I can call out a friend, and [G#m] remember the faces [C#m] of poor [G#m] escorts.
[C#m] Making them mad, is the [G#m] silence [C#m] that's so friendly, firm [G#m] and free.
[D] And [E] I'm not the [F#m] blitz, I'm the [D] wanderer, the [A] coward, the [D] love you've got.
I [E] have the [F#m] endless, insane degrees of [D] fear, but [E] then it has [F#m]
ended, and [E] someday you'll be me.
[G#m] [C#m]
[B] All [C#m] across the town, and [G#m] across the street, this [C#m] is where I hear [G#m] you.
Let me [C#m] tell you, friend, where [G#m] you'll hardly wait, [C#m] not to see you.
[B] [C#m] It was times and joys [G#m] of a man that you'd poison, [C#m] hold you down.
[G#m]
Well [C#m] I hope now you know, that [G#m] this isn't the place that [C#m] you thought you'd find.
[B]
[D] [E] Endless, you know, [D] so [E] extreme, [D] that is, I [A] couldn't show you my [D] world till one day.
A pretty [A] girl makes a [D] decent [A] sandwich, [D] so I'll [A] come back every [F#m] [D] Monday.

[G#m] [C#m] Beg, beg, [A] beg, beg, call, it [E] didn't seem to matter at all.
[C#m] Beg, beg, beg, beg, [D#] call, [E] told us how to conquer it all.
[A] Beg, beg, beg, beg, call, [E] didn't seem to matter at all.
[C#m] Beg, beg, [E] beg, beg, call, told us how to conquer it all.
[C#m] You can shake your head, [G#m] and steal your head, [C#m] and make that friend.
[B] [E] And all I speak, [G#m] is good and bad, and I am [C#m] the man.
[B] I [C#m] can't talk, I'm a clam, like a [G#m] black-ribbed [C#m] man, but I'm not a simple
[G#m] soul.
[C#m] You make me mad, with [G#m] a smile, as you silence [C#m] a friendly fool.

[E] The [G#m]
[F#m] thudding voice of the child, [E] I thought I'd heard on the lawn [G#m]-bowing [A] king.
I see my invisible [F#m] hands, [E]
the gentle sound of a [G#m] lady's [A] skin.
Listening heart of gold.
