UP UNTIL THEN
by John Gorka
>From the album "Out of the Valley" High Street Records, 1994
Intro: G/D/C/D (x4)
G D C D
They dropped a dime on the girl in the parking lot
G D C D
Who was looking for a man of steel
G D C D
Who would fill up her nights with forget-me-nots
G D C D
And a dream no one else could reveal
G D C D
Her new man said to meet him at eight
G D C D
She came in dressed to the nines
G D C D
But by ten it was clear he was more than late
G D C D
And she just wouldn't take it this time
Em D
The bartender said she had had enough
G C
That he'd call a cab to take her somewhere
Em D
But she wasn't a stranger to loneliness
G C
She had grown up and spent her life there
CHORUS
G D
Up until then, up until then
C Em
It happened over and over again
G D C D
Up until then, up until then, up until then
G D C D
Well practice had increased her tolerance
G D C D
And she had hardly eaten all day
G D C D
She was all hyped up on her new romance
G D C D
But she drank in the usual way
G D C D
She stepped out to breathe and to dry her eyes
G D C D
To check her machine just in case
G D C D
He had called to excuse or apologize
G D C D
When she saw his unpenitent face
Em D
He approached with a girl she had seen before
G C
A bimbo up from Raspberry Street
Em D
When he saw her he laughed and so did the whore
G C
They dropped a ten dollar bill at their feet
[CHORUS]
[INSTRUMENTAL BREAK: G/D/C/D (x2)]
G D C D
She was small he was tall but she blocked his path
G D C D
She explained in unprintable words
G D C D
The reason she seized him so full of wrath
G D C D
That more than half of the neighborhood heard
G D C D
She sprayed him with mace from her pocketbook
G D C D
And then kicked in his personal zones
G D C D
Her high heels would ruin his perfect looks
G D C D
She left a couple of unbroken bones
Em D
Well the bimbo she ran in to get the cops
G C
But the owner had called from the bar
Em D
It took two cars with dogs just to make her stop
G C
I'm told that's how some women are
[CHORUS]
G D C D
They dropped a dime on the girl in the parking lot
G D C D
But she would suffer in no permanent way
G D C D
She spent thirty nights on a county cot
G D C D
And she's regarded with fear till this day
G D
Up until then, but never again
C Em
It happened over and over again
G D C D
Up until then, up until then, up until then
Em D
Now she's tending bar where the Pagans
used to meet
C
And he's living with that bimbo up on
D G
Raspberry Street
Outro: G/D/C/D [repeat to fade]
