Capo 1st Fret


INTRO
FF (x4)

VERSE
DmDm
I'm going on a date tonight
C majorC
 To try to fall out of love with you
         DmDm
I know, I know this is a crime
C majorC
 But I don't know what else to do

FF

My love, you're in a magazine
My love, you're doing fine, you're on TV
You pull my heart out and then you run away
From Chicago to Cleveland you leave me pain
FF
 You leave me pain

CHORUS
DmDm
When you're lucid you're the sweetest thing
C majorC
 I would trade my mother to hear you sing
               DmDm
When you're lucid you're the sweetest thing
FF
 I would trade my mother

VERSE
On the bus radio,
"Fifty ways to leave your lover alone"
I laughed at the irony
But life is stupid, the irony all lost on me
It got lost on me

(CHORUS)

INSTRUMENTAL
FF (x2)

DmDm

VERSE
You challenged me to write a love song
Here it is, I think I got it wrong
I focused on the negative
The pain was too much to write and sing
Oh, it was not a nice incentive

CHORUS
When you're lucid you're the sweetest thing
I would trade my mother to hear you sing   (X3)

When you're lucid you're the sweetest thing
I would trade my mother

  DmDm
But she don't know
   FF
Just how far I'd go
    DmDm
Would I walk for a hundred miles
   FF
for a glimpse of your northern smile?

OUTRO
FF (x4)
