Capo 1st Fret


INTRO
F  (x4)

VERSE
Dm
I'm going on a date tonight
C

  To try to fall out of love with you
                 Dm
I know, I know this is a crime
C
  But I don't know what else to do

F

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
F
  You leave me pain

CHORUS
Dm
When you're lucid you're the sweetest thing
C
  I would trade my mother to hear you sing
                             Dm
When you're lucid you're the sweetest thing
F
  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
F  (x2)

Dm

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

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

OUTRO
F  (x4)
