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

and you wished that it was new 
              Em

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
