B7                   E                 AM7         E
         Back in the old days I had my own ways of loving you.
       F#m7/C#          E                 AM7            E                      B7
It was turpentine to an open wound that I was for you in November, and now it's June.

    F#m7/C#                        G#m7(#5)/D#
The reverend, he, his family, were gathered there.
F#m7/C#                       G#m7(#5)/D#
         You had paint hiding in your hair,
F#m7/C#                         G#m7(#5)/D#
         I was standing in your kitchen door.
F#m7/C#                    C6/G
         What have I come around for?


                E                 AM7
To say that the wars we wage are all children's games.
       E                      AM7
We are boys and girls wearing colanders and capes.
         E                   AM7
In these dreadful days, my head is that place
          E           F#m7/C#
where you love me and branches are swords.
     C6/G    G#m/F#    F#m/E   G#m/F#     E     B7  E    B7
I'll use     them      here to fight this war.


E, AM7 (4 Times)
[Strings Break]


              E                         AM7              E
Now these are peaceful days and I am at war with ways of loving you.
           F#m7/C#                   E
I'll put a pen to paper to try and explain to you what
               AM7                             E                    E7
eight thousand miles can do when there are one hundred more between me and you.

F#m7/C#                             G#m7(#5)/D#
Darling, you don't write me of your love anymore.
F#m7/C#                        G#m7(#5)/D#
         I am sleeping on this davenport.
F#m7/C#                                G#m7(#5)/D#
         When guests arrive, I will be on the floor.
F#m7/C#                         C6/G
         What have we even come home for?


                E                 AM7
To say that the wars we wage are all children's games.
       E                      AM7
We are boys and girls wearing colanders and capes.
         E                   AM7                        E           F#m7/C#
In these dreadful days, my head is that place where you love me and branches are swords.

[Follow the rhythm of the "Ooh Aahs"]


F#m7/C#                      G#m7(#5)/D#
Darling, I love and want you desperately.
F#m7/C#                           G#m7(#5)/D#
         Still, more, I need that returned to me.
F#m7/C#                         G#m7(#5)/D#
         So in truth, honestly, frankly as can be,
F#m7/C#                          C6/G
         do or don't you want to marry me?
     C6/G   G#m/F#   F#m/E   G#m/F#   E
