------------------------------- Capo: IV [Intro] Am [Verse 1]
Am
Church chimes ringing just next store

Dm              Am
I was looking for something more

Am
Bells tolling for a broken heart

Dm                   Am
I must love just to fall apart

Am
That afternoon everything was all right

Dm                         Am
World was burning up disease and fright

Am
Sitting around lazy a spoon

           E                                Am
And I was waiting for you and the next full moon
[Chorus]
         F                   E
The best kiss I never want to miss

                    F          E    Am
Came from your lying lips spite of this
[Verse 2]
Am
But you know I was long past that

Dm                    Am
Keeping cool in my panama hat

Am
Lost weekends in the distant sublime

Dm                        Am
Take my vacation, sunset lavender time

Am                                 
Just one trick and I do it out of habit

Dm                 Am
Back to the hotel fast as rabbits

Am                         
I smell the perfume on her tender slim wrist

Am          E                                      Am
And I keep telling myself it don’t get better than this
[Chorus]
         F                   E
The best kiss I never want to miss

                    F         E    Am
Came from your lying lips spite of this
[Bridge]
Bb               E                   Am
Everybody knows where the conscience goes

Bb               E                    Am
Everybody shows, that where the evil grows
[Verse 3]
Am
Kids upstairs asleep as a mouse

Dm                     Am
My own worries are too big for this house

Am
Newspapers try to tell me what matters

Dm                             Am
I’m telling you they’re all as crazy as Manhatters

Am
I remember the shine of her bottom lip

Dm                            Am
And the kind of smile that could launch a thousand ships

Am
Sit around nursing my wet memory

            E                                    Am
Or I could walk upstairs where she’d be waiting for me
[Chorus]
         F                   E
The best kiss I never want to miss

                    F         E    Am
Came from your lying lips spite of this  

         F                   E
The best kiss I never want to miss

                    F         E    Am
Came from your lying lips spite of this
