Intro 1
[Fade in]
(A major) (B minor) (C sharp minor) (D major) (E major)
Verse 1
Now should you ex (A major) pect to see
something that (B minor) you hadn't seen
In some (C sharp minor) body you'd known
since (D major) you were sixteen
If (E major) love is a (F sharp minor) bolt from the blue
Then (D major) what is that bolt but a (A major) glorified screw
That (D major) doesn't hold nothing to (E major) gether?

Verse 2
Far from these (A major) nonsense bars
and (B minor) their nowhere music
It's (C sharp minor) making me sick
and I (D major) know it's making you sick
There's (E major) nothing there; it's like (F sharp minor) eating air
It's like (D major) drinking gin with (A major) nothing else in
(D major) That doesn't hold me to (E major) gether
Chorus 1
But for (A major) one crowded (B minor) hour
you were the (C sharp minor) only one in the (D major) room
And I (E major) sailed around
all those (F sharp minor) bumps in the night
to (D major) your beacon in the (A major) gloom
I (C sharp major) thought I had found
my (D major) golden September
in the (A major) middle of that purple (F sharp minor) June
But (A major) one crowded (B minor) hour
would (D major) lead to my (E major) wreck and ruin (A major)
Verse 3
Now I know you like your (A major) boys
to take their (B minor) medicine
From the (C sharp minor) bowl with a silver (D major) spoon
Who run away (E major) with the dish
and (F sharp minor) scale the fish
By (D major) the silvery light of the (A major) moon
Who were (C sharp major) taught from the womb
to (D major) believe to the tune
In as (A major) far as their bleeding eyes (F sharp minor) see
It's a (A major) pleasure pen, meant for them,
(B minor) built for and rent for them
(D major) Not for the (E major) likes of me
(A major) Not for the (D major) likes of you and me (E major)
Chorus 2
And for (A major) one crowded (B minor) hour,
you were the (C sharp minor) only one in the (D major) room
And I (E major) sailed around
all those (F sharp minor) bumps in the night
to (D major) your beacon in the (A major) gloom
I (C sharp major) thought I had found
my (D major) golden September
in the (A major) middle of that purple (F sharp minor) June
But (A major) one crowded (B minor) hour
would (D major) lead to my (E major) wreck and ruin (A major)
Bridge 1
Oh but the (E major) green-eyed harpy
of the (C sharp minor) song land (B minor) (A major)
She (E major) takes into hers (C sharp minor) my hand (B minor) (A major)
She says, (F sharp minor) "Boy I know you're ly (B major) ing
(C sharp minor) Oh but (B minor) then, so am I," (E major)
Solo 1
And to that I said "Oh well"
(A major) (B minor) (C sharp minor) (D major)
(E major) (F sharp minor) (D major) (A major)
(C sharp major) (D major) (A major) (F sharp minor)
(A major) (B minor) (D major) (E major)
Verse 4
They (A major) put me in a cage full of (B minor) lions
I learned to speak (C sharp minor) lion
In fact I (D major) know
the language (E major) well I picked it up (F sharp minor)
while I was (D major) versing myself in the lang (A major) uage
They speak in (B minor) hell
That night, the (C sharp minor) silence gave birth to a (D major) baby
They (E major) took it away to her (F sharp minor) silent dismay
And they (D major) raised it to be a la (A major) dy
Now she (D major) can't keep her mouth (E major) shut
Chorus 3
And for (A major) one crowded (B minor) hour
you were the (C sharp minor) only one in the (D major) room
And I (E major) sailed around
all those (F sharp minor) bumps in the night
to (D major) your beacon in the (A major) gloom
I (C sharp major) thought I had found
my (D major) golden September
in the (A major) middle of that purple (F sharp minor) June
But (A major) one crowded (B minor) hour
would (D major) lead to my (E major) wreck and ruin (A major)
Chorus 4
Yes, that (A major) one crowded (B minor) hour
you were the (C sharp minor) only one in the (D major) room
Well I (E major) played a few songs
for those (F sharp minor) bumps in the night
In (D major) fact I played this very (A major) tune
You said, (C sharp major) "What is this
six-stringed (D major) instrument
but (A major) an adolescent loom?" (F sharp minor)
And (A major) one crowded (B minor) hour
would (D major) lead to my (E major) wreck and ruin (A major)
Outro 1
Yes, and (A major) one crowded (B minor) hour
would (D major) lead to my (E major) wreck and ruin (A major)
Oh, that (A major) one crowded (B minor) hour
would (D major) lead to my (E major) wreck and ruin (A major)
