D                   A
And I'd write you a letter
 
                  G
To explain all my actions

                         Bm             A
But I'd only take it too far again,




D                             A
And you'll consign me to that shoebox

                               G                 Bm
Underneath the place where you hang your coats,

     A
On a par with train tickets and badges.




D                 A              G
Well maybe that's justice,

                                Bm           A
On a par with train tickets and badges,

G
I'll be at home with objects

Bm              A
That can pierce your heart and

G                  Bm      A
Take you far away.




D
Paint me with loyal marks,

A                          G
At least ignore me with feeling.

                      Bm    A
Good arms. Painter.

D                    A
And the style of her dress

                       G
Is no longer screaming A line,

                       Bm
Simply saying that the rest

A
Of the alphabet




D               A        G
Had gone away

         Bm              A                             D
To spell other words and phrases that day


A                G                  Bm    A            
So there was no "U" to be found.


D    A            G        Bm   A
Only memories of "x"'s.


D    A            G        Bm   A
Only memories of "x"'s.




D              
Paint me with loyal marks,

A                          G
At least ignore me with feeling.

                      Bm    A
Good arms. Painter.

This time I'm not just thinking out loud.


Bm            A                     D
This time I'm not just thinking out loud.
