Chords with lyrics
C majorC FF G+G
I was blessed to fight with you all night
I hadn't even know what fun
A minorAm FF G+G
Oh the war was dressed in scarlet and in white, like the whore of Babylon
C majorC FF G+G
Shook your conscience, held it to the light, tried to see what was written on it
A minorAm G+G
I said, "Baby don't ya think, you're being a little bit drastic?
FF G+G
There are things in this world that you can't buy with plastic.
A minorAm G+G
You blew through your cash like a Klondike miner.
FF G+G
Someday you'll maybe feel the lash of the Intelligent Designer."
C majorC
Oh, your doctor died, Baby
FF G+G
I believe he lost a-hold of himself
A minorAm
Oh, it wasn't a homicide
G+G FF G+G
Your doctor was in such poor health
C majorC
And I'm a lot like him
FF G+G
I believe I've lost control
A minorAm G+G FF
And those are the terms of our love on parole
A minorAm G+G C majorC FF
C majorC FF
Oooh, they found us out in pavilions of doubt
G+G
And cathedrals of longing and death without warning
A minorAm G+G
The room readied itself for that transfer of power
C majorC G+G
When you rode right through in your penultimate hour
C majorC
And said, "I can see the billboards and the history written large."
G+G
You said, "That was no-one's wedding, Baby, that was Picket's Charge."
A minorAm G+G
And for all of your talk of ending the fray,
FF G+G
There's not a part of your heart that would have it that way
A minorAm G+G
Oh, ya couldn't make a cup of tea
FF G+G
Without a battle strategy
A minorAm G+G FF
Which doesn't feel right until it takes it toll
A minorAm G+G FF
And those are the terms and conditions of our love on parole
C majorC FF G+G A minorAm FF G+G C majorC FF G+G A minorAm G+G FF A minorAm G+G FF
C majorC FF
Oh, abrasive and unbearable, a half-step from hysterical
G+G
You stopped waiting for the miracle and started praying for the end
A minorAm
Oh, you were never less than charitable
G+G
But I can think of nothing so terrible
FF G+G
As to no longer be your lover and only be your friend
C majorC FF
Now I could never navigate your body's complex narratives
G+G
That which lived and died and lies in stains
And still suffered its imperatives
A minorAm G+G FF
And anyway, I was never that interested in your heart and soul
A minorAm G+G FF
