[verse]
Cdim Bm7 A Gm Bm There is no Chicago urban blues A Bm Cmaj7 Bm A More heartfelt than my lament for you Bm F#m Gmaj7 Em A I'm a liberal guy: too cool for the macho ache Bm F#m Gmaj7 Em A With a secret tooth for the cherry on the cake Bm F#m Gmaj7 Em A With a pious smile, a smile that changes what I say Bm F#m Gmaj7 Em A While I waste my time in regretting that the days Cm9 Cm9 Bm9 Bbm9 Bm9 Went from perfect to just okay.
[Chorus]
Bm A Lordy, what would I do? F#m Fdim Bb11 Don't call me possessive (but God if he's smooching with you!) A I's a jealous boy root F#m Fdim Bb11 The world should be free (but don't you go following suit!) A My heart is aligned F#m Fdim Bb11 It couldn't be neutral (I couldn't be that way inclined) A F#m D Em It's hard to defend, ba ba ba ba ba ba these feelings my tuppentup friend A F#m D Em It's cruel, ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba (repeat x2) A A13 It's cruel, it's crueler than cruel, but . . .

[verse]
Cdim Bm7 A Gm Bm A Should a love be tender, or bleed out loud? Bm Cmaj7 Bm A Or be tougher than tough, and prouder than proud? Bm F#m Gmaj7 Em If I'm troubled by every folding of your skirt, Bm F#m Gmaj7 Em Am I guilty of every male-inflicted hurt? Bm F#m Gmaj7 Em But I don't know how to describe the modern rose Bm F#m Gmaj7 Em When I can't refer to the shape against her clothes Cm9 Cm9 Bm9 Bbm9 Bm9 With the fever of purple prose.
