Verse and chorus: Asus G D
Breaks: Asus Bm D
She said "Answer me this Handsome Jack if your hands weren't tied would you consider me
wise enough to see off your fear of heights whether real or imagined or whether flight
or fancy? I'll teach you all that this city has taught me, I'll bow you around this
city's boundaries"
Tortoise Regrets Hare, Tortoise Regrets Hare, Fox Takes Hare
And I mentioned that I'd seen you in the paper marrying some fool you'd slipped a smile
into the picture saying "I am still the same infinite girl that you've all known and are
there any regrets here aside my own? I sleep with your songs running up my arms and
curling around and keeping me warm"
Tortoise Regrets Hare, Tortoise Regrets Hare, Fox Takes Hare
Hold on hold on
And I tell you don't sell your love short in my prime I was a cruel and cold man but now
I am older I present myself much warmer, anxious not to lose out on a year or two's
favour for the sake of my red temper and you pressed sea shells in the sand and they
spelled out your cruel cruel demands
