Chords
I'll indicate lower in the tab where this applies but there are occasional 'sus4'
chords in this song but it's kind of hard to point out exactly where they are in
the lines. I'll mark where that happens so you can listen to the song and figure
out where you want to play them.
[Intro]
Am
Am C We were married in the mirrored hall when I was sixteen C G F G You spoke the words, "I love girls in white leather jackets" Am F Am That was good enough for love, it was good enough for me G F E (Listen for correct timing of when to play these three chords) E Esus4 E Esus4 E I listened in when you thought you were alone E Esus4 E Esus4 E Calling the Sphinx on a tornado's phone C G Who knows what you meant E Esus4 E I only heard what I wanted E Esus4 E Esus4 E You said I was your blue, blue baby A E Esus4 E And you were right Em Esus4 E Esus4 E You said I was your blue, blue baby A And you were right
Instrumental - Same chords and timings as first verse, up until "That was good
enough for love" when you go to a C instead of an F, then back to Am to start the
second verse.
Am C Wandered the halls all the nighttime C G My body burned, my legs ached F G But you never came to bed Am C You just left me there awake C You kept me wanting, wanting, wanting F G Like the wanting in the movies and the hymns C G F I want the pharaohs, but there's only men C G F I want the pharaohs, but there's only men E Esus4 E Esus4 E You said I was your blue blue baby A E And you were right Em Esus4 E Esus4 E You said I was your blue blue baby A E And you were right
