verse
C Dm
i’m going on a date tonight
C F C
to try to fall out of love with you
Dm
i know , i know this is a crime
C F C
but i don’t know what else to do

C | Dm | C | F

my love , you’re in a magazine
my love , you’re doing fine , you’re on tv
you pull my heart out and then you run away
from chicago to cleveland you leave me pain
Dm C F
you leave me pain

chorus
C Dm
when you’re lucid you’re the sweetest thing
C F C
i would trade my mother to hear you sing
Dm
when you’re lucid you’re the sweetest thing
C F

verse
on the bus radio ,
“fifty ways to leave your lover alone”
i laughed at the irony
but life is stupid , the irony all lost on me
it got lost on me

( chorus )

instrumental
C | Dm | C | F ( x2 )

G | F | G | Am | Dm

verse
you challenged me to write a love song
here it is , i think i got it wrong
i focused on the negative
the pain was too much to write and sing
oh , it was not a nice incentive

chorus
when you’re lucid you’re the sweetest thing
i would trade my mother to hear you sing ( x3 )

when you’re lucid you’re the sweetest thing
i would trade my mother

C Dm
but she don’t know
C F
just how far i’d go
C Dm
would i walk for a hundred miles
C F
for a glimpse of your northern smile?
