[F#] [Bm]
[A] [G#] [G]
[Em] [C]
[F#] [Bm]
[A] [G#] [G]
[Em] [F#] [C] I [F#]
didn't notice [Bm] anything strange [A] about the [G#] picture in your [G] picture frame.
[Em]
[F#] [C] It was drawn [F#] of a fountain [Bm] in your body, bought [A] for a five and was [Em] probably.
Didn't mean [F#] a lot to me.
[Am] You tell me that [Em] you'd never sell, [Am] that life itself is within, [Am] that the artist [Em] herself was beneath this.
[Dm] And I, though the sky, though [G] worship the ground, and you never asked for [C] nothing at all.
[G] But she asked me to come in [Am] from the cold, [Em] and to warm her bed, and she forced me, and unforced me [Dm] again.
[G]
[C] Time will [F#] make fools [Bm] of us all, it's time to find [G#] meaning [G] or control.
[Em]
[F#] [C] Every time we [F#] go out now, [Bm] she pretends we're not [F#m]
lovers, [Em] just friends.
[F#] And it gets to this, [Am] she tells me the meaning [Em] of life is [Am] to be happy and [Em] to give up loss.
[Am] You've never lost [Em] something you love, [Dm] I turn around, how could I be [G] angry at her?
[F#] She never asked for [C] nothing at all, [G] but she asked me to come in from [Am] the cold, [Em] and to warm her bed, and [Dm] she forced me, and [G]
unforced me again.
[Em]
[Dm] [G] And I never asked for nothing [C] at all, she [G] asked me to close [Am] my door, and [Em] I'll do my best to [Dm] force her, and I'll [Em]
unforce her [Dm] again.
Never [Am] for her [Dm] again, [G] and she never asked for [C] nothing.
