G The last time I saw Richard was Detroit in '68 Em7 Am A7 And he told me all romantics meet the same fate someday Em Em7 Am G Cynical and drunk and boring someone in some dark café G You laugh he said you think you're immune Em7 Am A7 Go look at your eyes they're full of moon Em Em7 Am G You like roses and kisses and pretty men to tell you all those pretty lies C F Pretty lies when you gonna realize they're only pretty lies G Am A7 D7 Only pretty lies just pretty lies G He put a quarter in the Wurlitzer and he Em7 Am A7 Pushed three buttons and the thing began to whirr Em Em7 Am And a bar maid came by in fishnet stockings and a bow tie G And she said "Drink up now it's getting' on time to close" G "Richard, you haven't really changed" I said Em7 Am A7 It's just that now you're romanticizing some pain that's in your head Am Em G You got tombs in your eyes but the songs you punched are dreaming C Listen, they sing of love so sweet, love so sweet F When you gonna get yourself back on your feet? G Asus G Oh and love can be so sweet Love so sweet G Richard got married to a figure skater A7 And he bought her a dishwasher and a coffee percolator Em Am And he drinks at home now most nights with the TV on G And all the house lights left up bright G I'm gonna blow this damn candle out Em7 Am I don't want nobody comin' over to my table I got nothing to talk to anybody about Em Am All good dreamers pass this way some day G C Hidin' behind bottles in dark cafes, dark cafes F G Only a dark cocoon before I get my gorgeous wings and fly away Am G Asus Only a phase these dark café days
