Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Verse

Tales from my head

can't buy the book

 no one's listening but I guess you could

 try whistling this

Verse

You say you're tired

liquid is water

but you'll succumb now as I stroke your back

I'm the best that you know

Bridge

And every time you think of me

I hope you think of true romance

and everytime you want to leave

you give us both a another chance

Verse

Warmest welcome violent stranger

he said come here as he pushed me down

impossible to do

in high heels walking into walls

ever wonder if you're here at all

try whistling this

Instrumental break

Coda

And my words are ringing in your ears

drawing your attention now to all the things that you ignore

if I can't be with you I would rather have a different face

and if I can't be near you I would rather be adrift in space

and if the gods desert us now I'd turn this chapel into flames

 and if someone tries to hurt you I would put myself in your place
