verse 1 :
C
i can argue with the mime

i can argue with the mime

he is reading me the riot act
Em Am Em
every line
( Em – C – D )

C
every lawyer in his prime

every lawyer in his prime

gets nostalgic for the bar’s
Em Am Em
naivete to crime

chorus :
Am
G Am
ascetics wring their hands
G Am
this decadent misuse
G Am
inside my china room
G
you are my coffee spoon

C Em Am Em ( Em – C – D )
C Em Am Em

verse 2 :
C
my indulgence is a joke

and while everybody laughs

i’m clipping coupons
Em
saving my breath

C
i was celebrating lent

with a candle in a tent

when you came and snatched me up
Em
out of retirement

C
now i’m buying finer clothes

in department store windows

throwing credit cards down
Em
i never raised my voice

i never raised my voice

chorus :
Am
G Am
ascetics wring their hands
G Am
this decadent misuse
G Am
inside my china room
G
you are my coffee spoon

C Em Am Em ( Em – C – D )
C Em Am Em
