E G#m
Time after time you will forgive me
G B
Like an animal in your care
E G#m
But give it time. You will outlive me
G B
And take the bow back you put in my hair
E G#m
Made a parade of myself in the street outside your house
G B
For the New York photographer there
E G#m
I fell for crime and I fell for beauty
G B
I fell for you because you're the one that cared
C G
And when I die you can put on costumes
Em Em
In the style of the clothes I wore
C G
And sing the songs your lover taught you
Em Em
When you were too young to know that this was what they were for.
C G Em Em (riff at bottom)
La la la la. La la la lala. lalala
C G Em E
La la la la. La la la lala. lalala
E G#m
Like some dead relative, you will remember me most
G B E
by my funeral and all the beautiful toasts you made
G#m G
Take back the spade. We've both been filling up our days
B
like we were filling in a grave
