Chords with lyrics

🎸 Intro:
G+G A augmentedA C majorC D MajorD x2

🎸 Verse 1:
    G+G       A augmentedA        C majorC   D MajorD
To the girl I knew in Sixth Form long ago
  G+G        A augmentedA        C majorC   D MajorD
It took me sixteen years or more to know
     G+G        A augmentedA        C majorC         D MajorD
That she probably didn't thank me for the songs that I wrote for her
   G+G         A augmentedA       C majorC         D MajorD
Well I wrote this one for me and looking back I think they all were


🎸 Pre-Chorus:
     C majorC      G+G
'Cause I grew up in a world
     C majorC              G+G   D MajorD
Where the tragic hero always gets the girl
     C majorC         G+G
I set the scene
I wrote the script
   A minorAm                D MajorD
And I handed her a leading role and she never wanted it

🎸 Chorus:
      G+G     A augmentedA       C majorC   D MajorD
Because no woman ever wants to be a muse
   G+G        A augmentedA
To be dragged over hot coals
   C majorC        D MajorD
To be slandered, to be used
      G+G          A augmentedA      C majorC
So you can sing the world your inauthentic blues
      D MajorD
And be the bravest, be the smartest
     C majorC        D MajorD
The most deeply tortured artist
    E minorEm         D MajorD        C majorC
Tell me who in their right mind would ever choose
       G+G A augmentedA C majorC D MajorD
To be a muse

G+G A augmentedA C majorC D MajorD

🎸 Verse 2:
    G+G        A augmentedA           C majorC   D MajorD
Well I wish for all the world I'd learned back then
  G+G       A augmentedA        C majorC   D MajorD
To not repeat the deeds of famous men
  G+G         A augmentedA         C majorC        D MajorD
Who took just one perspective 'cause it gave them a good villain
 G+G          A augmentedA        C majorC       D MajorD
Absolved them of their sins and in the process made a killing

🎸 Pre-Chorus:
    C majorC        G+G
Best be warned not to believe
   C majorC              G+G     D MajorD
This bleeding heart I wear upon my sleeve
      C majorC        G+G
For all the pain it might imply
     A minorAm                 D MajorD
There's another one out there somewhere with no right of reply

🎸 Chorus:
      G+G     A augmentedA       C majorC   D MajorD
Because no woman ever wants to be a muse
   G+G        D MajorD
To be dragged over hot coals
   C majorC        D MajorD
To be slandered, to be used
      G+G          D MajorD      C majorC
So you can sing the world your inauthentic blues
      D MajorD
And be the bravest, be the smartest
     C majorC        D MajorD
The most deeply tortured artist
    E minorEm         D MajorD        C majorC
Tell me who in their right mind would ever choose
       G+G A augmentedA C majorC D MajorD
To be a muse
       G+G A augmentedA C majorC D MajorD
To be a muse

🎸 Bridge:
                  C majorC         G+G
Yeah and maybe Stevie Nicks really drove him out his mind
     E minorEm         D MajorD    G+G    C majorC
But maybe Lindsey should have gone his own way too
     D MajorD               C majorC        G+G
And we'll never know the girl who wasted Dylan's precious time
  A augmentedA              D MajorD
Or if he left her tangled up in blue
    C majorC
Well I guess they'd both have versions
    D MajorD
But we all know just the one
     G+G
And all I really know for certain
   C majorC
Is it made a damn good song
         C majorC
'Cause history's written by the victors
     D MajorD
Yeah and art is made to last
        G+G
And I dread the day I'll have to answer
    C majorC
For the songs of break-ups past

🎸 Chorus:
      G+G     D MajorD       C majorC
Because no woman ever wants to be a muse
   G+G        D MajorD
To be dragged over hot coals
   C majorC        D MajorD
To be slandered, to be used
      G+G          D MajorD      C majorC
So you can sing the world your inauthentic blues
      D MajorD
And be the bravest, be the smartest
     C majorC        D MajorD
The most deeply tortured artist
    G+G     D MajorD        C majorC
Yeah no woman ever wants to stand accused
   G+G        D MajorD
Of the crimes that you wrote for her
     C majorC      D MajorD
While professing to adore her
   G+G        D MajorD
While disparaging her honour
     C majorC       D MajorD
With all you projected on her
     C majorC        D MajorD
While you revelled in the glory
      C majorC        D MajorD
Of telling one side of the story
    C majorC               D MajorD
Yeah no woman in this world would ever choose
    G+G  C majorC  D MajorD
To be a muse

🎸 Outro:
       G+G         A augmentedA
Yeah now I've looked at it both ways
     C majorC       D MajorD
Don't believe a word I say
    C majorC           D MajorD
And beware of anyone who ever views
       G+G A augmentedA C majorC D MajorD
You as a muse
      C majorC               D MajorD
Because no woman in this world would ever choose
       G+G A augmentedA C majorC D MajorD
To be a muse

G+G A augmentedA C majorC D MajorD
