C majorC

C majorC             D MajorD
 Tryin' to get her to stay home
                     G+G
 was worst than pulling a sword from the stone
               B minorBm
 I'm sweating bullets in Palos Verdes
             C majorC
 Please, don't leave me on my own

C majorC            D MajorD
 I wanted her to be my wife
              G+G
 I wanted her to want that life
              B minorBm
 It ended the same way it started
              C majorC
 Behind the door, holding that knife

    C majorC     C majorC        Asus4m
 While I'm happy, I was wrong and mislead
       C majorC        D MajorD      G+G
 She took me to your lipstick fire engine red


C majorC               D MajorD
 You were brighter than a neon sea
              G+G
 of signs that say "no vacancy"
                  B minorBm
 The few brave men you've let check in
                  C majorC
 still brag about the times they've been

C majorC             D MajorD
 Over the limit, drunk on wine
            G+G
 Below the Mason Dixon line
               B minorBm
 I promised that I'd start to pray
                C majorC
 if the police looked the other way

   C majorC    C majorC      Asus4m
 And I didn't go to jail, wind up dead
        C majorC          D MajorD      G+G
 I prayed each night for your lips fire engine red


     C majorC                D MajorD
 They said: "You cannot clear a jump that wide
             G+G
 A augmentedA stunt like that is suicide"
              B minorBm
 But when I got the courage to
               C majorC
 I spent the night alone with you

C majorC             D MajorD
 I think I'm the luckiest guy
             G+G
 I used to be too numb to cry
                B minorBm
 I don't know how I timed this right
              C majorC
 You're just the prettiest sight


   C majorC     C majorC         Asus4m
 In the movies people change when they bled
      C majorC           D MajorD      G+G
 Inside my veins your lipstick's fire engine red


C majorC           D MajorD
 I must admit I'm insecure
                 G+G
 That's what all those women were for
            B minorBm
 I don't wanna be who I am
            C majorC
 If nobody else gives a damn

C majorC              D MajorD
 We've been together 'bout a year
                 G+G
 I can't say that don't bring me fear
                B minorBm
 I'm scared to come home every night
                 C majorC
 I'm scared to keep the checkbook tight


    C majorC     C majorC          Asus4m
 Renting movies in your room, in your bed
        C majorC          D MajorD      G+G
 You kissed my cheek, with lipstick fire engine red


C majorC              D MajorD
 You always wear the same perfume
               G+G
 It reminds you of the hotel room
              B minorBm
 The one in which I swore I knew
                   C majorC
 I'd spent the rest (of) my life with you

C majorC                  D MajorD
 But I tell you "you should take it off
                G+G
 I don't wanna smell like that stuff"
                B minorBm
 Sometimes my heart it gets so dark
              C majorC
 You sit and watch it fall apart


  C majorC       C majorC         Asus4m
 Run a needle through what's left, tie the thread
       C majorC          D MajorD      G+G
 Don't let me leave your lipstick fire engine red


C majorC               D MajorD
 What's two people supposed to do
                G+G
 When restlessness gets hold of you
               B minorBm
 I'm drowning in my drinking cup
               C majorC
 I can't, I will not give you up

C majorC               D MajorD
 But if flowers never stay and bloom
            G+G
 I'd do we in a one bed room
              B minorBm
 We're both victims to our fear
              C majorC
 I'll be a man and hold you near


  C majorC        C majorC        Asus4m
 If you leave me, you'll survive in my head
      C majorC          D MajorD      G+G
 I won't forget your lipstick's fire engine red
