        D                         Em                 C
I never meant to say you were the thorn in either side,
         D                    Em                   C
It was a side effect from the scars on the forty-fives.
            D                  Em                    C
And as the vinyl sticks, it reminds me of what we have,
                     D   Em               C
Despite the things you do, you know I'm a fool for you.

            D                    Em               C
They say a legal kiss is not as good as a stolen one,
            D                       Em                     C
We put our lives on show and yet we sing to a different song.
             D               Em                     C
And from the bassinet to the graveside we never walk,
                  D     Em         C
Of everything I've lost, I miss my mind the most.

Em                  C 
I never once understood your dealings,
Am                         D
A group of friends who I'd give what for.
Em                       C 
And I could name every crack on our ceiling,
   Am       D
A sight of thorns.
Em                   C 
Am I a frame in your bigger picture?
Am                      D
A rubber ring for your stormy seas?
Em                    C 
If I could be just a train fare richer
Am            D     
I'd change my needs

           D                     Em                 C
And in the half light a rush of violence is in the place,
         D                             Em                 C
And if a look could kill you'd need a licence for your face.
             D                         Em                    C
You say that love is blind and I'm the one who restored your sight.
                    D    Em                      C
The girl who never knows, I'm the girl who never knows
