   Evening begins with a page to invite you in
A             E                         F#m             D
   Play some pool, or watch her smoking cigarette after cigarette, and I
A              E               F#m                D
Sit from afar, drinking water, down here familiar smells help recollect the
A                    E F#m   D
Years, recollect the years.

      F#m                                 D      E
Cause I've been thinking of this place forever, I know
      A              E                 F#m        D
It's all that I have come to know as I slowly, I lose control
F#m        D  E
Slowly, I lose...
A                          E 
Soft, pale, and pure, and himself pink, in a
F#m                              D        E
Skin of pink that would blossom in a rain.

    A               E    F#m             D
Perfection stands alone, waiting for the buzz
A               E             F#m             D
Pure, pale, and innocent, not yet wearing the scars
    A                  E            F#m                     D
And your face consumes all the attention, your shape is collecting gazes.
A              E            F#m            D
Bent over the pool table, I watch as you...

Drink to think that I've accomplished something.  What a...

But I've been thinking of this place forever, I know

   Walking the path, I thought you might have that night for 
A           E       F#m     D
What seemed like forever
A                    E                           F#m            D
   Took off all your clothes, the clothes that I chose.  Drank myself
A     E       F#m     D
Into this situation.
