Chords with lyrics
No capo
Intro- G+G
G+G
Sometimes when i'm singing
you draw pictures on the walls
E minorEm
And I wonder then if how i feel
makes sense to you at all
C majorC
I show tunes to you I've written
so you cover them in paint
D MajorD
They're better now, grey and smudged and
dirty like your face
G+G
I swung you to the city
and you wished that it was new
E minorEm
so you could write an art-house film
and i could make my debut
C majorC
All I am asking of you now
is just to take me back in time
D MajorD
to the nights above the city
When you asked if you were mine
G+G
I'll drive with you all morning
down the streets and avenues
E minorEm
And then we'll sit among the gravestones
and I'll try to break the news
C majorC
that I am happier with you
than I will ever be again
D MajorD
I'll give up before I'm done
and we can dance in the rain
G+G
I swung you to the city
and you wished that it was new
E minorEm
so you could write an art-house film
and i could make my debut
C majorC
All I am asking of you now
is just to take me back in time
D MajorD
to the nights above the city
When you swore that you were mine
G+G
I would give everything I have
to tell you everything I want
E minorEm
But there's too much I have to tell you
and too much that I forgot
C majorC
I wonder now if all this time with you
will linger in my mind
D MajorD
beyond the days we spend so vacantly
When this is left behind
G+G
I won't regret the taste of you
or how your head feels on my chest
C majorC
I'll never spill a single secret
or a sin that you confessed
E minorEm
And I won't cry when this is over
When it's time to say goodbye
D MajorD
No I won't cry
I won't cry
G+G
I swung you to the city
and you wished that it was new
E minorEm
so you could write an art-house film
and i could make my debut
[no chord]
All I am asking of you now
is just to take me back in time
to the nights above the city
