[Verse 1]
C
Craze my hair and shine my shoes,
Am G G7
And kiss the kiss that I could lose,
C E7
And I looked at what I have,
F Em Dm
And I have one wish,
C E7
And I looked back in your eyes,
F F/G
And there were two words,
C
Backwards and forwards.
[Verse 2]
C
Here lies the essence of my peers,
Am G G7
Handshakes, hellos and golden years,
C E7
See it smiling through its teeth,
F F Em Dm
It's the whore who has to die,
C E7
Unhappy, underneath,
F
And it's long learned not to show it,
F/G C
Get backwards and forwards.
[Bridge]
Dm A7 Dm
How come when I'm gone I get the blues?
Bbmaj7 F
Or something special that I might confuse,
Bbmaj7 F
With getting gifts I'm not at liberty to use.
Gm A
It's cold to the touch and older than I know,
Bb
And when the world's with me too much,
C C#dim
I say she comes and then it goes.

Gm D F#m G E7
[Verse 3]
D
Could completeness still appeal,
Bm A
To one who thinks what he should feel?
D F#7
And it stares me in the face,
G
And holds me speechless,
D F#7
And I look back in your eyes,
G
And see your eyes gaze,
E7
See your eyes gaze into mine,
A
Forever.
