My Only Friend

The Magnetic Fields

tom:

C               D       
Billie you're a miracle
    G                C
and God knows I need one
C                 D 
Sing me something terrible
     G             C 
that even dawn may come
        Am             C 
You and me, we don't believe
         D 
in happy endings

[Chorus]
D         G 
Hey, Lady Day,
        C                 D 
can you save my life this time?
        D      G
Can you cry so beautifully
    C                D 
you make my troubles rhyme?
D         G 
Hey, Lady Day,
        C             D
can you save my life again?
D          G              C 
   My only love has gone away
         D          A 
Will you be my only friend?

[Verse 2]
C               D
Billie you're a genius
 G             C
enough to be a fool
  C              D
A fool to gamble everything
    G              C    
and never know the rules
C              D
Some of us can only live
   G                 C
in songs of love and trouble
Am             C            D
Some of us can only live in bubbles

[Chorus]
D         G 
Hey, Lady Day,
        C                 D 
can you save my life this time?
        D      G
Can you cry so beautifully
    C                D 
you make my troubles rhyme?
D         G 
Hey, Lady Day,
        C             D
can you save my life again?
D          G              C 
   My only love has gone away
         D          A 
Will you be my only friend?
