Standard (EADGBE)

This time of night I could call you up

 I'd get angry with athletic ease, break common laws in twos and threes

If I die clutching your photograph

 Don't call me boring, It's just 'cause I like you

Well, Take me on back Take me on back and take me back

 To the place where I could feel your heart

Is this the end or just the start of

Something really, really beautiful

Wrapped up and disguised as something really, really ugly,

Won't you...

Come by and see me, I'm a love letter away

 I'd break your name before I'd say, "I really love you, love you, "

I don't care if you saw, I watched every inch of film

 Flash across your Roman features,

 And I loved it, loved it; I don't care if

You think I'm eager to shut your eyes, well

 I'm sorry-everybody knows you can't break me with your gutter prose

Would you believe it, she sent me a letter,

 The ring, it nearly weighs her down, she's got another boy, oh boy

Steady your ears Steady your ears and read my lips

 Poetry is not a luxury, it's how I'll break this home

 And when I'm really ill, won't you cradle me?

 Man is not a noble animal, but maybe woman is, remember,

I heard you...

 In-side your room, you said, "You never really live

 Until your back's against the wall, " oh did you really mean it?

 I never break my gaze, if just to see this scar remain reflected in your eyes

I think it's time to go home

 GUITAR SOLO Use same progression as verse (

 Oh, tell me your thoughts, tell me your thoughts on liberty,

 See there's a place where I sink to sleeping

Oh, my vote is as red as my blood

  Dc

Will you join me for another round? I haven't had the chance to speak yet

God speed...

 I break the law once every week to feel your touch,

 What's a book to you in bed, Do you feel better, older?

This just makes me ill, your name is dripping from my pen

 Still you're not around to curse,

 I'll drop the gun now, I'm still under you...

Marianne, let the ghosts sleep tonight.

Marianne, let the ghosts sleep, just shut your eyes and burn the past away
