[Verse]
F             E               Fmaj7b5       
They call you ecstasy,nothing ever sticks to you

F               E
Not Velcro, not Scotch Tape

Fmaj7b5
Not my arms dipped in glue

            F                E           
Not if I wrap myself in nylon

                      Fmaj7b5
A piece of duct tape down my back

F                          E
Love pierced the arrow with a 12

            Fmaj7b5
And I can't get you back
[Chorus]
F       E       Fmaj7b5      
Ah, ecstasy, ecstasy

F       E       Fmaj7b5
Ecstasy, ah, ecstasy
[Verse]
F                          E                 
Across the streets an old Ford

                 Fmaj7b5 
They took off its wheels, the engine is gone

F                     E
In it seat sits a box

                        Fmaj7b5
With a note that says, "Goodbye Charlie, thanks a lot"

                F                       E
I see a child through a window with a bib

                         Fmaj7b5
And I think of us and what we almost did

F                             E
The Hudson rocketing with light

              Fmaj7b5
Ships pass the Statue of Liberty at night
[Chorus]
F    E         Fmaj7b5      
Ah, ecstasy, ecstasy

F    E         Fmaj7b5
Ecstasy, ah, ecstasy
[Verse]
       F                 E
Some men call me St. Ivory

             Fmaj7b5
Some call me St. Maurice

         F             E
I'm smooth as alabaster

               Fmaj7b5
With white veins running through my cheeks

     F                      E
Big stud through my eyebrow

              Fmaj7b5
A scar on my arm that says, "Domain"

         F               E
I put it over the tattoo 

        Fmaj7b5
That contained your name
[Chorus]
F    E         Fmaj7b5      
Ah, ecstasy, ecstasy

F    E           Fmaj7b5
Ecstasy, ah, ecstasy
[Verse]
          F                     E
The moon passing through a cloud

                Fmaj7b5
A body facing up is floating towards a crowd

       F                                E
And I think of a time and what I couldn't do

              Fmaj7b5
I couldn't hold you close, I couldn't become you

             F        
They call you ecstasy

                   E               Fmaj7b5                              
I can't hold you down, I can't hold you up

   F                          E
I feel like that car that I saw today

             Fmaj7b5
No radio, no engine, no hood

                   F                      E
I'm going to the cafe, I hope they've got music there

       Fmaj7b5
And I hope those guys can play

       F                
But if we have to part

                E  
I'll have a new scar right over my heart

Fmaj7b5             
I'll call it ecstasy
[Chorus]
F    E         Fmaj7b5      
Ah, ecstasy, ecstasy

F    E           Fmaj7b5
Ecstasy, ah, ecstasy
