 (C major) 
It`s started to come to me
F 
C 
Your  (F major) new career  (C major) would
G 
C 
 (G major) probably end like  (C major) this
All that professional lipstick pressed
G 
into an amateur  (G major) kiss
C 
F 
C 
 (C major) Farewell to the studied  (F major) lines and  (C major) carefully

F 
scent of the  (F major) martyr

Verse 2

fingers of those pony skin  (G major) gloves
C 
F 
 (C major) Then you cut a hole out  (F major) where the
C 
F 
C 
 (C major) love light  (F major) used to  (C major) shine
Your tears of pleasure equal
F 
Em 
measure cro (F major) codile and  (E minor) brine
C 
G 
You  (C major) try to laugh it  (G major) off saying
C 
F 
 (C major) "I knew all the  (F major) time...
G 
F 
But it`s starting  (G major) to  (F major) come to me" (come to me,
G 
come to  (G major) me)

G 
Some (G major) times you bring me down
D

D 
G 
F

 (D major) weren't so busy  (G major) digging up the gold  (F major)  (G major) 
C 
 (C major) Now you could tell

C 
F 
 (C major) Afraid someone will recog (F major) nize
Em 
F

 (E minor) the shame  (F major) in her  (C major) eyes
You've still got your dignity or
