Capo 1st fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Verse

I'm going on a date tonight

To try to fall out of love with you

 I know, I know this is a crime

But I don't know what else to do

My love, you're in a magazine

My love, you're doing fine, you're on TV

You pull my heart out and then you run away

From Chicago to Cleveland you leave me pain

You leave me pain

Chorus

When you're lucid you're the sweetest thing

I would trade my mother to hear you sing

 When you're lucid you're the sweetest thing

I would trade my mother

Verse

On the bus radio,

"Fifty ways to leave your lover alone"

I laughed at the irony

But life is stupid, the irony all lost on me

It got lost on me

(CHORUS)

Instrumental

Verse

You challenged me to write a love song

Here it is, I think I got it wrong

I focused on the negative

The pain was too much to write and sing

Oh, it was not a nice incentive

Chorus

When you're lucid you're the sweetest thing

I would trade my mother to hear you sing (X3)

When you're lucid you're the sweetest thing

I would trade my mother

 But she don't know

 Just how far I'd go

 Would I walk for a hundred miles

 for a glimpse of your northern smile?
