No capo
Intro- G
G
Sometimes when i'm singing
you draw pictures on the walls
Em
And I wonder then if how i feel
makes sense to you at all
C
I show tunes to you I've written
so you cover them in paint
D
They're better now, grey and smudged and
dirty like your face
G
I swung you to the city
and you wished that it was new
Em
so you could write an art-house film
and i could make my debut
C
All I am asking of you now
is just to take me back in time
D
to the nights above the city
When you asked if you were mine
G
I'll drive with you all morning
down the streets and avenues
Em
And then we'll sit among the gravestones
and I'll try to break the news
C
that I am happier with you
than I will ever be again
D
I'll give up before I'm done
and we can dance in the rain
G
I swung you to the city
and you wished that it was new
Em
so you could write an art-house film
and i could make my debut
C
All I am asking of you now
is just to take me back in time
D
to the nights above the city
When you swore that you were mine
G
I would give everything I have
to tell you everything I want
Em
But there's too much I have to tell you
and too much that I forgot
C
I wonder now if all this time with you
will linger in my mind
D
beyond the days we spend so vacantly
When this is left behind
G
I won't regret the taste of you
or how your head feels on my chest
C
I'll never spill a single secret
or a sin that you confessed
Em
And I won't cry when this is over
When it's time to say goodbye
D
No I won't cry
I won't cry
G
I swung you to the city
and you wished that it was new
Em
so you could write an art-house film
and i could make my debut
[no chord]
All I am asking of you now
is just to take me back in time
to the nights above the city
When you swore that you were mine
