Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

I left my house this morning

with your photo in my pocket

boiling coffee in my gullet

and my coat still full of rain

from our meeting at midnight

where you gave me all my stuff back

a signed photograph, a fashion shot

you said chivalry wasn't dead, that's good.

a pack of dogs followed me home

so I gave them all my jackets

they promised to protect me

they said they were from hell, whatever that is

I pay them by the hour

but they've got all the power

cos I'm so cheap they'll probably kill me in my sleep

I'd lay awake and dream

or at least wake with a jolted scream

but I've been keeping myself busy at work

and I've joined the basketball team

oh yeah I've always played, it's what I'm like

ever since I was a child

several plusses including that I now sleep much better

keeps my mind off suicide

can you pick me up mary and take me home?

I love you from the marrow of my bones

can you pick me up mary and take me home

I love you from the marrow of my bones...

can you pick me up mary and take me home?

I love you from the marrow of my bones

can you pick me up mary and take me home

I love you from the marrow of my bones...
