F Am A# C Dm
princess cards she sends me with her regards
Gm Dm A# C
oh , barroom eyes shine vacancy to see her you gotta look hard
F Am A# C Dm
wounded deep in battle i stand stuffed like some soldier undaunted
Gm Dm A# C A# Am
to her cheshire smile i’ll stand on file she’s all i ever wanted
Gm A# C F Am
but you let your blue walls get in the way of these facts
A# C F Am
honey , get your carpetbaggers off my back
A# C F Am
you wouldn’t even give me time to cover my tracks
Csus4 C
you said here’s your mirror and your ball and jacks
Csus4 C Csus4 C
but they’re not what i came for and i’m sure you see that too
Dm Am Gm A# C Dm
i came for you , for you , i came for you , but you did not need my urgency
Am Gm A# C Dm
i came for you , for you , i came for you , but your life was one long emergency
Fsus4 F Fsus4 F Dm C
and your cloud line urges me and my electric surges free
F Am A# C Dm
crawl into my ambulance your pulse is getting weak
Gm Dm A# C
oh , reveal yourself all now to me girl while you’ve got the strength to speak
F Am A# C Dm
cause they’re waiting for you at bellevue with their oxygen masks
Gm Dm A# C A# Am
but i could give it all to you now if only you could ask
Gm A# C F Am
and don’t call for your surgeon even he says it’s too late
A# C F Am
it’s not your lungs this time it’s your heart that holds your fate
A# C F Am
don’t give me my money , honey , i don’t want it back
Csus4 C
you and your pony face and your union jack
Csus4 C
well take your local joker and teach him how to act
Csus4 C
i swear i was never that way even when i really cracked
Csus4 C Dm Am Gm A#
didn’t you think i knew that you were born with the power of a locomotive
C Dm
able to leap tall buildings in a single bound
Am Gm A#
and your chelsea suicide with no apparent motive
C Dm
you could laugh and cry in a single sound
solo : Fsus4 F Fsus4 F
C A# F
and your strength is devastating in the face of all these odds
C A# C
remember how i kept you waiting when it was my turn to be the god
F Am A# C Dm
ah , you were not quite half so proud when i found you broken on the beach
Gm Dm A# C
oh , remember how i poured salt on your tongue and hung just out of reach
F Am A# C Dm
and the band they played the homecoming theme as i caressed your cheek
Gm Dm A# C A# Am
yeah , that ragged , jagged melody she still clings to me like a leech
Gm A# C F Am
but that medal you wore on your chest always got in the way
A# C F Am
like a little girl with a trophy so soft to buy her way
Csus4 C
we were both hitchhikers but you had your ear tuned to the roar
Csus4 C
of some metal tempered engine on an alien distant shore
Csus4 C
so you left to find a better reason than the one we were living for
Csus4 C
and it’s not that nursery mouth i came back for
Csus4 C
and it’s not the way you’re stretched out on the floor
Csus4 C
cause i’ve broken all your windows and i’ve rammed through all your doors
Csus4 C
and who Am i to ask you to lick my sores
Csus4 C
and you should know that’s true
C A# C Dm Am Gm A# C Dm
i came for you , for you , i came for you , but you did not need my urgency
Am Gm A# C Dm
i came for you , for you , i came for you , but your life was one long emergency
Fsus4 F Fsus4 F
and your cloud line urges me and my electric surges free
