[C#] [F#m] [C#]
[F#m] Her in scarf [Bm] that she wore, a rinse in [F#m] her hair, [Bm] a blister [F#m] and [D] undersized [C#] shoe.
[F#m] Her name on a tag [G] that can't be washed off, [Em] lace and a tape for [C#] a fondue.
[F#m] I think she [Bm] wore red, I believe she [F#m] wore black, [Bm] any color [F#m] you mention [D] but blue.
[C#]
[F#m] Any number of [G] colors under the sun, [Em] I won't be revealed [C#] to you.
[G#m]
[G#] [C#] [G#m] I [F#m] can't tell you it's final, [Bm] I know [F#m] it's concluded, [Bm] I'll tell you for certain we're through.
[C#] [F#m] I can give you the names and [G] the places and the dates, [Em] but what could it mean [C#] to someone like you?
[F#m] Stick a pen in his eye, [Bm] don't tell me [F#m] no jokes, [Bm] don't ask [F#m] me no how [D] did you go.
[C#] [F#m] Where it goes that's past, [G] it's a key with no head, [Em] the little tongue goes [C#] buzz, so slow, so slow.
[F#m] Some secrets of love [Bm] you take to your [F#m] bed, and [Bm] there's some that [F#m] you take to [D] your [C#] grave.
Oh [F#m] well I took my [G] dream to a dress, [Em] where I took my hopes at [C#] the end of the [F#m] day.
All my stuff is [F#m] spread out on the floor, [Bm] and I may [F#m] better be praying [D] or [C#] soon.
[F#m] I'm packing it on back end, [G] personal [Em] things that fail to remind me [C#] of you.
You [D] can rub it off, you [C#] can scrape it off, you [D] can rub it off, you [C#] can scrape it off, you [D] can break it off, you [E] can burn [F#m] it [B] off.
Oh yeah, [F#m] oh [Bm] yeah, [F#m] [D] oh yeah, [C#] [F#m]
[G] [Em] [C#] [F#m] oh [Bm] yeah, oh yeah.
