Intro 1
(A minor)
Verse 1
(A minor) There's a cynic in
the (F major) washroom
(E minor) Dropping his in the basin (G major)
(A minor) While the mirror plays a (F major) four -star matinee
Left a (E minor) reminder in the booth outside
Suckin' (F major) whiskey off his child bride
As some (G major) waitress is (F major) dropping
her track (A minor)
There's a fire in her (F major) eyes tonight
Entertaining (E minor) a redress (G major)
But (A minor) his hand slaps her
(F major) pie -eyed reverie
Before snap (G major) ping all the
(F major) buttons on her (A minor) dress
The (F major) barback feigns indifference,
(G major) patron spilling catcalls
And she's (A minor) listening through
concrete wall (F major) s
For the (C major) protest of a (F major) single
paddy (G major) whippet
There's a girl out there where
a woman should be
Keeping still (F major) in filthy company
of a (C major) boy well -dressed
Dressed up like a man (G major)
In her porcelain self, this immaterial girl
Digs out a (F major) soft spring night
When she was short
Till the (C major) bear bald light
Claws across her skin (G major) (A minor)
Behind closed doors the (F major) mistress
(E minor) Holds her own hand in a vice (G major) grip
Just (A minor) waiting for the next
rag (F major) doll and sloppy sip
She (G major) tells herself I've
(F major) nothing to con (A minor) fess
Marys (F major) crack like little missus
Night (G major) s and days and gentle kisses
Just (A minor) mending a tattered dress (F major)
These are (C major) not your (F major) ordinary stitches (G major)
She smelled of sleep as
the sheets were torn
Do the (F major) shining men in uniform
Close her (C major) eyes and thought
He must be asking me to dance (G major)
How (D major) do you (G major) tell the child
that her love is a fighter
A (F major) word she thinks as the hostess retires
Tell an (C major) other that she's
gonna have to fight (G major) (A minor)
Nine birds dance in the driveway (F major)
She (E minor) counts them laying sideways (G major)
A (A minor) metal cot, it touched her face
A (F major) thousand different ways
Was (A minor) then she thought one golden shot
And (G major) this I shall replace
The (F major) visions of a marching band
The (G major) roses will cut up my hand
And this (A minor) look lasting on my face (F major)
Will fall (C major) down over this (F major) broken promise (G major) land
(A minor) These fighting word (F major) s
are craving new (C major)
Mouths to feet (G major)
An (A minor) d as this (F major) hand is writing
My (C major) blue face so green (G major) (A minor) (F major) (C major)
(G major) (A minor) (F major)
(C major) (G major)
(A minor)
(A minor)
