D D* D D D* D
The wind sways the trees and the raindrops on the leaves
Bm G D D* D
Tumble down, down my neck in the breeze
D D* D D D* D
Yes, it's true I hid out in the shadow of your doubt,
Bm G D D* D
And this medal that I wear is not for bravery, I'm afraid
A G D
And we're both going to have to accept
A G D
That this might be as good as it gets
A G D Bm A G
As our love for each other respects neither rule nor reason
D D* D D D* D
The Queen on her throne plays Shirley Bassey records when she's all on her own
Bm G D D* D
And she looks out the window and cries
D D* D D D* D
What should I do? Scratch off all of my tattoos?
Bm G D D* D
And forget those girls' names? But you're not about to let me do that, are you?
A G D
And we're both going to have to accept
A G D
That this might be as bad as it gets
A G D Bm A G
As our love for each other respects neither rule nor reason
A G D
And we're both going to have to accept
A G D
That this might be as big as it gets
A G D
As our love for each other respects
Bm A G
Neither rule nor reason
Bm A G
Neither rule nor reason
End on D
