INTRO:
Bm E A D


Bm                E
every thing I thought I'd learned
A                 D
ambition and illusion turned
Bm                     E
to drawings on a loose leaf sheet
A                     D
of tarts and cakes I couldn't eat


Bm             E
what in her do I require?
A                D
the face of gratified desire
Bm                E
what in me does she require?
A                  D
the face of a gratified desire


A
brownish spider,
D
brownish leaf
C              D
confirms my deepest held belief.
A
no more spider,
D
no more leaf,
C
no more me,
D
no more belief.
