Capo on 7
C G C G C G Am Em
C G
We imagined ourselves as cathedral bells
C G
Ringing out through the moribund streets
C G
Like shrill courtesans, making fanciful plans
Am Em
That we whispered while drifting to sleep
C G
And I told you I’d stay in every possible way
C G
Though we both knew that that wasn’t true
C
You said you’d would understand
G
If it was for something so grand
Am Em
As this mirrored reflection of you
C G
And New York in October was never so sober
C G
As the beating on the windows in March
C G
Trying so hard in vain to stay out of the rain
Am Em
Falling off our cathedral arch
C G C G C G Am Em
C G
You were Zelda, Isolde, and you were Audrey and Kate
C G
You were Miss Cleopatra in heels
C G
Then anonymously, you were April to me
Am Em
Throwing rocks just to see how it feels
C G
But those lines in your eyes and that platinum crown
C G
And that gaudy red rouge on your cheeks
C G
You must’ve looked so divine to some neophyte trying
Am Em
But you looked like a common whore to me
C G
But I liked you the best when you were a plain simple mess
C G
Drinking wine from a pink plastic cup
C G
While the radio played some soft serenade
Am Em
And we noticed the sun coming up
C G
And the blue in your eyes looked like ice when you cried
C G
You were always so cold when we touched
C G
Happy birthday to you, I sure hope it’s untrue
Am Em
Even though I don’t miss you that much
