[Intro]
G7 Baug C7 Cm7 F Bb
[Verse 1]
G7 Baug C7 I came so far for beauty Cm7 F Bb I left so much behind G7 Baug C7 My patience and my family Cm7 F Bb My masterpiece unsigned
[Verse 2]
G7 Baug C7 I thought I'd be rewarded Cm7 F Bb For such a lonely choice G7 Baug C7 And surely she would answer Cm7 F Bb D# To such a very hopeless voice
[Bridge]
G# G I practiced on my sainthood G# G I gave to one and all D# Bb Cm But the rumours of my virtue G# Bb D# They moved her not at all G# G I changed my style to silver G# G I changed my clothes to black D# Bb Cm And where I would surrender G# Bb D# Ah now I would attack
[Verse 3]
G7 Baug C7 I stormed the old casino Cm7 F Bb For the money and the flesh G7 Baug C7 And I myself decided Cm7 F Bb What was rotten and what was fresh
[Bridge]
G# G And men to do my bidding G# G And broken bones to teach D# Bb Cm The value of my pardon G# Bb D# The shadow of my reach G# G But no, I could not touch her G# G With such a heavy hand D# Bb Cm Her star beyond my order G# Bb D# Her nakedness unmanned
[Outro]
G7 Baug C7 I came so far for beauty Cm7 F Bb I left so much behind G7 Baug C7 My patience and my family Cm7 F Bb My masterpiece unsigned
