Villagers


Tom: Am

Am
The city lights are beckoning
C
The sirens softly call
Am                                  C             F
Of the fantasist and fetishists are preparing the ball
F                                  C             F          C
When you've been stuck here on the doorstep with nothing to forsake
F                         E           Am
Well you might as well be anyone's to take

[Chorus]
Am
So I give myself to strangers
C
Like I gave myself to you
Am                                   C           F
But the tenderness are felt has been replaced by something new
F                     C                F               C
And in the orgy I can vaguely hear the outline of your call
F                       E           Am
Well I might as well be anyone's at all

[Verse]
Am
Every memory is sailing 
C
To the kingdom of your soul
Am                                  C                F
As you patiently await and lose all sense of self control
F                             C
You were the lighthouse to my broken boat
F                   C
But I've left you behind
F                      E           Am
Now I might as well be anyone's to find
C       Fm   
Take my body 
C       Fm
Take it from me
C         Fm
It is not worthy 
C       Fm
Of your memory
Am
I remember you undressing 
C
As I sat myself on fire
Am                                 C                F
And the funeral was quick as I lay lifeless on your pyre
F                        C
Well it's a kind of desperation
F                                 C
And it's just something you can't fake
F                     E           Am
Oh I might as well be anyone's to take

[Chorus]
Am                        
So I give myself to strangers
C
Like I gave myself to you
Am                               C                  F
But the unity I felt has been replaced by something new
F                       C
Now I am Helen and I am Mary Jane
F                    C
I am Robert and I am Paul
F                     E           Am
Oh I might as well be anyone's at all
F                      E         Am
Yes I might as well be anyone at all
