My Maudlin Career Tabbed by: Adam James www.myspace.com/jinglejewce INTRO C | Dm | C | F (x4) VERSE

C              Dm
I'm going on a date tonight

C                F                C
  To try to fall out of love with you

                 Dm 
I know, I know this is a crime

C                  F            C
  But I don't know what else to do

C | Dm | C | F My love, you're in a magazine My love, you're doing fine, you're on TV You pull my heart out and then you run away From Chicago to Cleveland you leave me pain

Dm             C     F
  You leave me pain

CHORUS

C                            Dm
When you're lucid you're the sweetest thing

C                  F                  C
  I would trade my mother to hear you sing

                             Dm
When you're lucid you're the sweetest thing

C                  F
  I would trade my mother

VERSE On the bus radio, "Fifty ways to leave your lover alone" I laughed at the irony But life is stupid, the irony all lost on me It got lost on me (CHORUS) INSTRUMENTAL C | Dm | C | F (x2) G | F | G | Am | Dm VERSE You challenged me to write a love song Here it is, I think I got it wrong I focused on the negative The pain was too much to write and sing Oh, it was not a nice incentive CHORUS When you're lucid you're the sweetest thing I would trade my mother to hear you sing (X3) When you're lucid you're the sweetest thing I would trade my mother

    C         Dm
But she don't know 

     C           F
Just how far I'd go

        C                  Dm
Would I walk for a hundred miles 

      C                        F
for a glimpse of your northern smile?
