The wind sways the trees and the raindrops on the leaves
    B minorBm      G+G      D MajorD   D*   D MajorD
Tumble down, down my neck in the breeze
      D MajorD D*  D MajorD      D MajorD   D*    D MajorD
Yes, it's true I hid out in the shadow of your doubt,
     B minorBm      G+G        D MajorD   D*  D MajorD
And this medal that I wear is not for bravery, I'm afraid

      A augmentedA       G+G    D MajorD
And we're both going to have to accept
      A augmentedA     G+G     D MajorD
That this might be as good as it gets
     A augmentedA       G+G   D MajorD       B minorBm  A augmentedA   G+G
As our love for each other respects neither rule nor reason


    D MajorD D*    D MajorD   D MajorD                   D*     D MajorD
The Queen on her throne plays Shirley Bassey records when she's all on her own
     B minorBm    G+G     D MajorD  D* D MajorD
And she looks out the window and cries
 D MajorD   D*   D MajorD   D MajorD        D*  D MajorD
What should I do? Scratch off all of my tattoos?
   B minorBm         G+G        D MajorD         D*      D MajorD
And forget those girls' names? But you're not about to let me do that, are you?

      A augmentedA       G+G    D MajorD
And we're both going to have to accept
      A augmentedA     G+G     D MajorD
That this might be as bad as it gets
     A augmentedA       G+G    D MajorD       B minorBm  A augmentedA  G+G
As our love for each other respects neither rule nor reason

      A augmentedA      G+G    D MajorD
And we're both going to have to accept
      A augmentedA     G+G     D MajorD
That this might be as big as it gets
     A augmentedA       G+G   D MajorD
As our love for each other respects
     B minorBm A augmentedA   G+G
Neither rule nor reason
     B minorBm A augmentedA   G+G
Neither rule nor reason
