Verse:
A augmentedA        F# minorF#m
Rings 'round his eyes
A augmentedA        F# minorF#m
Tracks down his arm
A augmentedA        F# minorF#m
His fans are confused and his
D MajorD       E MajorE
friends are alarmed
A augmentedA        F# minorF#m
His wife doesn't talk
A augmentedA        F# minorF#m
Hates when he's gone
A augmentedA       F# minorF#m
Counts every skirt
D MajorD        E MajorE
in his new entourage

Chorus:
       D MajorD      E7E7
And they're all gossamer thin
       A augmentedA    F# minorF#m
Left of the dial, bohemians
      D MajorD          E7E7
And they dance, tournament in style
         A augmentedA        F# minorF#m
Twirl 'round the room, curtsey and smile
A augmentedA        F# minorF#m
And they sit at his feet,
A augmentedA    F# minorF#m
read poetry and
A augmentedA    E MajorE    D MajorD  E7E7  A augmentedA
Swoon with each word he speaks

Verse:

A augmentedA         F# minorF#m
She likes the new pope
A augmentedA          F# minorF#m
She's not scared of hell
A augmentedA         F# minorF#m
They meet once a week
    D MajorD   E MajorE
at a secret motel
A augmentedA        F# minorF#m
She kisses his neck,
A augmentedA        F# minorF#m
she plays with his hair
A augmentedA            F# minorF#m
Her screams sound like pleasure,
   D MajorD      E MajorE
her moans like despair

Verse:
       D MajorD       E7E7
And they're spread gossamer thin
        A augmentedA         F# minorF#m
Pushed to the edge, frayed at the ends
     D MajorD       E7E7
And it's no business of mine
        A augmentedA        F# minorF#m
They can love more than one at a time
      A augmentedA        F# minorF#m
But they're pushing their luck
A augmentedA        F# minorF#m
Hard but they must
A augmentedA  E MajorE  D MajorD  E7E7  A augmentedA
Risk it all for love

Bridge:

G minorGm                 D MajorD
Now I walk around in some kind of altered state
F# minorF#m       D MajorD          A augmentedA
The drink in my hand is starting to shake
G minorGm               D MajorD
I get used to it if it has to stay this way
F# minorF#m        D MajorD          E7E7
A augmentedA new bunch of flowers I'll have to arrange

Verse:

A augmentedA        F# minorF#m
I don't want to eat
A augmentedA       F# minorF#m
or get out of bed
A augmentedA     F# minorF#m
Try to recall
     D MajorD    E MajorE
what the therapist said
A augmentedA   F# minorF#m
Ego and Id,
A augmentedA       F# minorF#m
the Essential Self
A augmentedA        F# minorF#m
You are who you are
   D MajorD       E MajorE
and you are someone else


Chorus:

     D MajorD      E7E7
But I'm worn gossamer thin
        A augmentedA         F# minorF#m
Like delicate arch, carved by the wind
      D MajorD        E7E7
There's a glass psyche at stake
      A augmentedA         F# minorF#m
Throw me a brick, see if it breaks
    A augmentedA         F# minorF#m
'Cause the mind and the brain
A augmentedA         F# minorF#m
aren't quite the same
A augmentedA        E MajorE D MajorD  E7E7   A augmentedA
But they both want out of this place

A augmentedA F# minorF#m
A augmentedA F# minorF#m
