Dm
F
Am
Princess cards she sends me,
Bb
C
Dm
with her regards
Gm

Oh, barroom eyes shine vacancy
Dm
Bb

To see her you gotta look hard

Wounded deep in battle
C

soldier undaunted

To her cheshire smile I'll stand on file
Dm
Bb
C
Bb
Am
She's all I ever wanted
Bb
C
But you let your blue walls get
F
Am
in the way of these facts
C
F
Bb
baggers off my back
Am
Bb
You wouldn't even give me time
F
C
"Here's your mirror and your ball and jack"
F
C
But they're not what I came for
F
C
And I'm sure you see that too
Verse 2

C
F
Dm
But you did not need my urgency
C
Bb
I came for you, for you, I came for you

And the cloud line urges me, and my
Bb
F
C
electric surges free
Verse 3

Bb
C
Dm
your pulse is getting weak

Oh, reveal yourself all now to me girl

While you've got the
Bb
C
Dm
With their oxygen masks
Gm
F
Dm
I could give it all to you now if
Bb
C
Bb
Am
only you could ask
Bb
C
But don't call for your surgeon
C
Am
It's your heart that holds your fate
Am
C
F
You and your pony face
F
C
Didn't you think I knew that you were
Am

Bb

it was my turn to be the god?
Verse 5
F
Am
You were not quite half too proud when
Bb
C
Dm
I found you broken on the beach
Gm
Dm
Oh, remember how I poured salt on your
Bb
C
tongue and hung just out of reach?
F
Am
And the band they played the homecoming
Bb
C
Dm
theme as I caressed your cheek
Gm
Dm
Oh that ragged, jagged melody,
Bb
C
Bb
Am
she still clings to me like a leach
Bb
C
But that medal you wore on your chest
Am
F
Bb
C
Like a little girl with a trophy so
F
Am
soft to buy her way
your ear tuned to the roar
Of some metal- tempered engine on that alien,
distant shore
C
F
And now you left to find a better reason
than the one we were living for
And it's not that nursery mouth
I came back for
It's not the way you're stretched
out on the floor
'Cause I've broken all your windows
and I've rammed through all your doors
And who am I to tell you to lick my sore?
And you should see that too
Verse 6
Dm
Am
I came for you, for you,
Gm
Bb
I came for you
C
Bb
I came for you, for you, I came for you
