------------------------------- Capo: IV Intro: Am
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

                 Dm                       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:
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                               Dm   Am
Just one trick and I do it out of rabbits

Am                         
I smell the perfume on her tender slim wrist

Am                                  Dm             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:
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

Dm                                    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
