   A minorAm         Em/A
If I only could deceive you
DmDm       Dm6Dm6
Forgetting the game
   A minorAm         Em/A
Every time I try to leave you
  DmDm       Dm6Dm6
You laugh just the same
     DmDm      Dm6Dm6    A minorAm
'Cause my wheels never touch the road
    DmDm    Dm6Dm6   A minorAm
And the jumble of lies we told

Just returns to my back to weigh me down

Verse 2:
    A minorAm        Em/A
We lay cards upon the table
  DmDm      Dm6Dm6
The backs of our hands
   A minorAm          Em/A
And I swear I like your people
  DmDm     Dm6Dm6
The boys in the band
  DmDm    Dm6Dm6  A minorAm
Reminiscences gone astray
    DmDm    Dm6Dm6   A minorAm
Coming back to enjoy the fray
   DmDm    Dm6Dm6    C majorC    B7sus4B7sus4  E MajorE  B7sus4B7sus4
In a tangle of night and daylight sounds

All completeness in the morning
 DmDm      Dm6Dm6
Asleep on your side
    A minorAm        Em/A
I'll be waking up the crewmen
 DmDm    Dm6Dm6
Banana-boat ride
    DmDm      Dm6Dm6 A minorAm
She responds like a limousine
     DmDm     Dm6Dm6  A minorAm
Brought alive on the silent screen
    DmDm     Dm6Dm6    C majorC   Bm7b5 Bm7b5
To the shuddering breath of yesterday

    A minorAm        Em/A
It's a battle for the needy
 DmDm       Dm6Dm6
Incredible scenes
     A minorAm        Em/A
There's a future to believe in
   DmDm       Dm6Dm6
Your life and death dreams
    DmDm   Dm6Dm6  A minorAm
As the cavalry of despair
    DmDm      Dm6Dm6  A minorAm
Takes a stand in the lady's hair
    DmDm    Dm6Dm6  C majorC   B7sus4B7sus4 E MajorE B7sus4B7sus4
For the favour of making sweet sixteen
