D                F                 G                D
I had my dream I held your hand on that broad avenue
D                       F              G                 D
We crossed the road And never spoke to another as we flew
D                F             G                   D
We left your man alone in drag laughing there at us
D                 F              G                    D
A romantic bust a blunder turned explosive blunderbuss

D                F                G               D
An ancient grand hotel of Persian thread and ivory
D                       F                 G                 D
And when your man would turn his head I'd see you look at me
D                  C              G                    D
Pools of brown and sea of red and demons in your pocket
D                 C                 G                        D
That same romance performed a dance inside your silver locket

D                 C              G                        D
A corner exit not tall enough to walk out standing straight
D                  C                    G                      D
Designed by men so ladies would have to lean back in their gate
D                      C                G                      D
You grabbed my arm and left with me but you were not allowed to
D                C               G                 D          
You took me to a public place to quietly blend into

D            F                    G                        D
Such a trick pretending not to be doing what you want to do
D              F                   G                  D
But seems like everybody does this every waking moment

D                   F                    G                    D
I laid you down and touched you like the two of us both needed
D                F                G                          D
Safe to say that others might not approve of this and pleaded
D                     F                G                       D
So selfish them would be their cry and who'd be brave to argue?
D              F              G                D
Doin' what two people need is never on the menu
