Villagers - Memoirs

capo 6th fret

Am C
the city lights are beckoning , the sirens softly call
Am C F
of the fantasist and fetishists are preparing for the ball
Am C Am
when you’ve been stuck here on the doorstep with nothing to
C
forsake
Am Em F
well you might as well be anyone’s to take

Am C
so i give myself to strangers like i gave myself to you
Am C F
but the tenderness i felt has been replaced by something new
Am C Am C
and in the orgy i can vaguely hear the outline of your call
Am Em F
well i might as well be anyone’s at all

Am C
every memory is sailing to the kingdom of your soul
Am C F
as you patiently await and lose all sense of self control
Am C
you were the lighthouse to my broken boat
Am C
but i’ve left you behind
Am Em F
now i might as well be anyone’s to find
Am C
take my body take it from me
Am C
it is not worthy of your memory

i remember you undressing as i set myself on fire
and the funeral was quick as i lay lifeless on your pyre
well it’s a kind of desperation
and it’s just something you can’t fake
oh i might as well be anyone’s to take

so i give myself to strangers like i gave myself to you
but the unity i felt has been replaced by something new
now i Am helen and i Am mary jane
i Am robert and i Am paul
oh i might as well be anyone’s at all
yes i might as well be anyone at all
