VERSE:
D/F# C
Tales from my head
D/F# C
can't buy the book
D#/G* D/F#
no one's listening but I guess you could
C
try whistling this
VERSE:
You say you're tired
liquid is water
but you'll succumb now as I stroke your back
I'm the best that you know
BRIDGE:
Am(V)
And every time you think of me
G#(IV)
I hope you think of true romance
Am(V)
and everytime you want to leave
G#(IV) C
you give us both a another chance
VERSE:
Warmest welcome violent stranger
he said come here as he pushed me down
impossible to do
in high heels walking into walls
ever wonder if you're here at all
try whistling this
INSTRUMENTAL BREAK:
G#(IV) Gm Fm
G#(IV) Gm Fm

CODA:
Am
F C
And my words are ringing in your ears
F C
drawing your attention now to all the things that you ignore
F C
if I can't be with you I would rather have a different face
F C
and if I can't be near you I would rather be adrift in space
F G
and if the gods desert us now I'd turn this chapel into flames
F C
and if someone tries to hurt you I would put myself in your place
