🎸 Verse 1: 0:08
C
  You've got a knack of finding songs that make me cry
                                C7
It's like he knew I'd sing them home alone at night
Bm                               Bm7
   Same old white suit of armour polish off your ego after
B7                              B/G                          C
I wouldn't care for clothes, if it would make you mine (oh - ohh)

🎸 Verse 2: 0:38
   C
We drive a line into an oil painted scene
                            C7                          Bm7
Some kind of high I'd never felt beneath my knees (ah - ahh)
             Bm          Bm7
Some kind of beauty only pinned on boards at home
B                                         Bm              Bm*  Bm7*
You owe me for showing something, that, nobody else could see, so

     Why won't you devote     a part     to me
                          CM7           CM7/B           FM7
I've strained out all the leaves   and dirt, from your tea
                CM7     CM7/B Bm7   Bm7      Cm7         Bm7/C
Why won't you desert   autonomy
for me    ee    ee

   You cast a shadow over every man I see
                          C7                       Bm
It's like I pay a tax for every time you leave, oh-oh
                             Bm7                             B
Don't have permission from myself to look at what I'm missing
                          Bm               Bm/C*
A foundry child I cry and tug hard on your sleeve, so

I've strained my eyes, I've searched for all the keys
FM7             CM7       Cm      FM7           Cm    Cm/C  FM7
