Guitar chords with lyrics

Intro:
A F#m
A F#m
A F#m
D E

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

Chorus:
             D            E7
And they're all gossamer thin
             A       F#m
Left of the dial, bohemians
           D                   E7
And they dance, tournament in style
                  A                F#m
Twirl 'round the room, curtsey and smile
A               F#m
And they sit at his feet,
A       F#m
read poetry and
A       E        D   E7    A
Swoon with each word he speaks


Harmonica:

D E


Verse:

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


Verse:
              D              E7
And they're spread gossamer thin
               A                  F#m
Pushed to the edge, frayed at the ends
         D              E7
And it's no business of mine
                A                F#m
They can love more than one at a time
            A               F#m
But they're pushing their luck
A               F#m
Hard but they must
A    E   D   E7    A
Risk it all for love


Harmonica:

Bridge:

Gm                                 D
Now I walk around in some kind of altered state
F#m              D                    A
The drink in my hand is starting to shake
Gm                              D
I get used to it if it has to stay this way
F#m               D                   E7
A new bunch of flowers I'll have to arrange


Harmonica:

Verse:

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


Chorus:

          D            E7
But I'm worn gossamer thin
               A                  F#m
Like delicate arch, carved by the wind
            D               E7
There's a glass psyche at stake
            A                 F#m
Throw me a brick, see if it breaks
       A                  F#m
'Cause the mind and the brain
A                 F#m
aren't quite the same
A               E  D    E7     A
But they both want out of this place


Outro:

A F#m
