Am Bm
……..
[Verse]
Am Em
..While there’s still a fighting chance
B7 Em
..Can’t you just get up and go
Am Em
,..And get away from this hollow romance
B7 Em
It’s slowly binding us both
Am Em
Because you’ll tell me what you want and I’ll avoid it
B7 Em
Tell it to the sick and to the damned
Am Em
Show me what you love, watch me destroy it
B7 Em B7
For love just crumbles in my hands…..
[Refrain]
CM7
But if you stay for a while..
G
I’ll try to think of something kind to say
CM7
And maybe if we pray for a while
B7
St. Jude might hear my pleas
And see me on my knees
[Chorus]
CM7
Because she knows how I adore you
B7
We won’t be fighting again tonight
CM7
Not if she knows I adore you
B7
No fighting again tonight..
[Bridge]
Am Em
..I laugh and fall just like Grimaldi
B7 Em
You wear your make-up like Baby Jane
Am Em
All of those promising lies that you told me
B7 Em
Come on and tell me them again
Am Em
Oh well, I walked these streets all of my life..
B7 Em
The fear and hope at every turn
Am Em
She took him to Stepney and made him a wife
B7 Em
Oh you know yeah you know they’ll crash and burn
[Verse]
Am Em
Because she’ll tell him what she wants and he’ll avoid it
B7 Em
May as well tell it to the sick and to the damned
Am Em
Show him what you love, watch him destroy it
B7 Em B7
For love seems to crumble in his hands…..
[Refrain]
CM7
But if you stay for a while..
G
I’ll try to think of something kind to say
CM7
And maybe if we pray for a while
B7
St. Jude might hear my pleas
And see me on my knees
[Chorus]
CM7
Because she knows how I adore you
B7
We won’t be fighting again tonight
CM7
Not if she knows I adore you
B7
No fighting again tonight..
