C, C7, Am, G x2
C C7
I saw you in the park, reading books
Am
On How to start a relationship;
G
When you find someone new.
C
Nearly bit off my tongue
C7 Am
Trying to hold the words from coming out wrong
G
And disappointing you
Dm
But you go out
Dm
And you leave me mascara
G G
Hides the shame on your face
Dm
What if the wind catches your perfume?
Dm G G
Close the shutters of my bedroom in case.
C
Would you remember me?
C7
When you're thirty-three,
F D
As more than just a little fun.
C
You see, I don't want to be
C7
Just a memory .
F D
But I know I'll never be your one.
C C7
Cause the time, wasn't right,
Am G
For you and me.
C
In my mind
C7 Am
It's not quite, the way,
G
You thought it would be.
C
Caught a cab
For my broken-heart
C7
Gave the driver, my credit card.
Am G
And said Don't stop till the black turns to dusk.
C
Oh the smoke, from your photograph
C7
To inhale or (it ought to pass?)
Am G
But the whole thing burns to noth (nut?)
Dm
But you go out in the evenings
Dm G G
Mascara hides the shame on your face
Dm
What if the wind catches your perfume?
Dm G G
Close the shutters of my bedroom in case.
