       Em                D#
If you told me that we’d died
    G          C
And gone to the gay bar
  G                         C
I woulda said “that seems right”
        Em               D#
Cause I knew you’d had a few
       G            C

        G              C
She was looking quite salacious
        G                   C
But the fire never met her eyes
        Em                D#

The swaying of your braids
        G            C
Gave impression of a halo
    G                        C
But saying so would make me trite
       Em             D#
Well I think I coulda stayed
      G            C
For forever in the disco
G                          C
Dancing by the fractured light
         G                   C
You were lovely by the fractured
