[Intro]
|Am Bm Em |Am Bm Em |
[Verse 1]
Am Bm Em
I was a young man, starving and drinking
Am Bm Em
And trying, to become a writer
Am Bm Em D
And I remember that apartment, the smell of mice and dust
C D Em
And the old woman with the pretty legs. All the kisses that I lost
Bm
to your neck.
[Verse 2]
Am Bm Em
I am a tennis player, playing on both sides of the net. And I-I-
Am Bm Em
I will get you yet
Am Bm Em D
And I will turn you I will turn you like a tattooed pigskin
C D Em
And this time you won‘t forget my face. Read my lips.
[Chorus 1]
G C G
A sculpure is a sculpture marmelade is marmelade
C G D
And a sculture of marmelade is a sculpture but it isn't marmelade
G C G
She said with you inside me comes the knowledge of my death
C G D
But I still had some oranges left underneath the bed
[Instrumental]
|Am Bm Em |Am Bm Em |Am Bm Em D|C D Em Bm|
[Verse 3]
Am Bm Em
I came to you. I came to depend on you.
Am Bm Em
I came upon you. I came upon your floor.
Am Bm Em D
But the God should be left alone one musn't
C D Em Bm
Bang upon the door
[Verse 4]
Am Bm Em
She said that for everything that is visible there is a copy that is hidden
Am Bm Em
She said nothing takes on light until it has been eaten
Am Bm Em D
I was working the hole with the sailor and you wonder
C D Em
Why you don‘t get invited to more parties. Read my lips.
[Chorus 2]
G C G
A sculpure is a sculpture marmelade is marmelade
C G D
And a sculture of marmelade is a sculpture but it isn't marmelade
G C G
She said with you inside me comes the knowledge of my death
C G D
But I still had some oranges left underneath the bed
