Chords with lyrics

Difficulty: Novice

Intro
E-F#-G#m-A

C# minorC#m           BB
I nearly died I suicided softly
C# minorC#m
I saw her shadow through the cafe window
G# minorG#m      F#F#  E MajorE
I watched you lean across the table
G# minorG#m      F#F#   E MajorE   F#F#
I watched you whisper in her ear

Chorus
BB       G# minorG#m  F#F#
And she is your holy Mary
     E MajorE   C# minorC#m
And I am so ordinary
      D#mD#m     E MajorE
And you can use me if you want to
      C# minorC#m         F#F#
I know you need me just like an old soft shoe

C# minorC#m                BB
She looks like me but a bit prettier
C# minorC#m
She's a skater and a ballet dancer
G# minorG#m    F#F#   E MajorE
I saw her on your motorcycle
G# minorG#m     F#F#      E MajorE    F#F#
In the seat I thought was meant for me

Chorus
BB       G# minorG#m  F#F#
And she is your holy Mary
     E MajorE   C# minorC#m
And I am so ordinary
      D#mD#m     E MajorE
And you can use me if you want to
      C# minorC#m         F#F#
I know you need me just like an old soft shoe
BB    G# minorG#m F#F#  E MajorE
And I am so or…dinary

C# minorC#m                  BB
And when your mother came to Boston you disappeared
C# minorC#m
And then I saw you three together
G# minorG#m     F#F#    E MajorE
I guess she makes the best impression
     G# minorG#m   F#F# E MajorE  F#F#
With her charming femininity

Chorus
BB       G# minorG#m  F#F#
And she is your holy Mary
     E MajorE   C# minorC#m
And I am so ordinary
      D#mD#m     E MajorE
And you can use me if you want to
      C# minorC#m         F#F#
I know you need me just like an old soft shoe
BB    G# minorG#m F#F#  E MajorE
And I am so or…dinary
BB    G# minorG#m  F#F#
And I am so ordinary

Bridge
    E MajorE   F#F#    G# minorG#m      F#F#
Oh but I am the one you will call when alone
  E MajorE   F#F#     G# minorG#m         A augmentedA
And I am the one who will give when she's gone
G#m-F#-E
And so I give
E-C#m
So I give

C# minorC#m               BB
I tell myself that love is truly giving
C# minorC#m
Somehow I justify this
G# minorG#m   F#F#   E MajorE
Hoping you will understand me
G# minorG#m   F#F#   E MajorE    F#F#
Hoping you will love me back

Last Chorus
BB       G# minorG#m  F#F#
And she is your holy Mary
     E MajorE  BB
And I am so ordinary
        G# minorG#m    F#F#
And she is your Queen Cleopatra
         E MajorE     BB
And I'm just your morning after
        G# minorG#m      F#F#
And she is your Star Spangled Banner
       E MajorE
And I am just Frere Jacques…
             E MajorE C# minorC#m
And you can lose me if you…want to
