[Verse 1]
AbCm
This time of night I could call you up
BbmDb
I'd get angry with athletic ease, break common laws in twos and threes
AbEb
If I die clutching your photograph
BbmDb
Don't call me boring, It's just 'cause I like you
AbCm
Well, Take me on back Take me on back and take me back
Bbm
To the place where I could feel your heart
Db
Is this the end or just the start of
AbEb
Something really, really beautiful
BbmDb
Wrapped up and disguised as something really, really ugly,
Fm
Won't you...
[Chorus 1]
DbDbDbAbCmFm
Come by and see me, I'm a love letter away
DbAbCmCm7
I'd break your name before I'd say, "I really love you, love you, "
DbAbCmFm
I don't care if you saw, I watched every inch of film
DbAb
Flash across your Roman features,
CmCmFm
And I loved it, loved it; I don't care if
[Verse 2]
AbCm
You think I'm eager to shut your eyes, well
BbmDb
I'm sorry-everybody knows you can't break me with your gutter prose
AbEb
Would you believe it, she sent me a letter,
BbmDb
The ring, it nearly weighs her down, she's got another boy, oh boy
AbCm
Steady your ears Steady your ears and read my lips
BbmDb
Poetry is not a luxury, it's how I'll break this home
AbEb
And when I'm really ill, won't you cradle me?
BbmDb
Man is not a noble animal, but maybe woman is, remember,
Fm
I heard you...
[Instrumental]
DbDbDbAbCm
[Bridge]
Fm
In-side your room, you said, "You never really live
DbACmCm7
Until your back's against the wall, " oh did you really mean it?
DbAbCmFmDb
I never break my gaze, if just to see this scar remain reflected in your eyes
AbCmCm
I think it's time to go home
[Solo]
Use same progression as verse (Ab Cm Bbm
AbEbBbmDb)
[Verse 3]
AbCm
Oh, tell me your thoughts, tell me your thoughts on liberty,
BbmDb
See there's a place where I sink to sleeping
AbEb
Oh, my vote is as red as my blood
BbmDb
Will you join me for another round? I haven't had the chance to speak yet
Fm
God speed...
DbDbDbAbEm
[Chorus 2]
Fm
I break the law once every week to feel your touch,
DbDbCmCm7
What's a book to you in bed, Do you feel better, older?
DmAbCmFm
This just makes me ill, your name is dripping from my pen
DbAb
Still you're not around to curse,
CmCmFm
I'll drop the gun now, I'm still under you...
[Instrumental]
Fm Db (repeated)
[Outro]
AbFm
Marianne, let the ghosts sleep tonight.
AbFm
Marianne, let the ghosts sleep, just shut your eyes and burn the past away
