Chords

[Intro] Dmaj7 Bm A x2 [Verse 1]
Dmaj7                           Bm
Tending to the city's broken heart

            A
Little question marks linger over lonely people
In the diner after dark
Dmaj7                Bm
All cooing in their tiny china cups

A
One great devastated row at the plate glass window
[Instrumental] D Bm A x2 [Pre-Chorus]
    D                               Bm
We move to greet the emphysemic outlaws at the park

        A
Hoarding fourteen nips of Dewars
In an army jacket liquor cabinet
D                                  Bm
Starving out the skaters for a ledge under the stars

A                                     Am                     D   Bm
They all lived seven lives beforе the sun let down her guard

F#m                                   Am                  A  D   Bm7
Thеy all lived seven lives before the sun let down her guard

F#m                                   Am
They all lived seven lives before the sun let down her guard
[Chorus]
C                             G                    A
Magazine readers, with your matchbooks and compact mirrors

C                            E                     Dmaj7
Clobbered at Oscar's with flowers in the face of fear
[Instrumental] Bm F#m D Dmaj7 x2 [Verse 2] A poem for the blue stalls
       Dm                Bm           D
In the bathrooms of the world in the backs of bars

                                                   Dmaj7
Hungry neon lovers' symbols hurled across the booths

                      Dm                     Bm
At the new boys, a little thick between the ears
[Pre-Chorus]
       D
He's going for sentimental, but he's comin' off severe

         Dmaj7
He says he's dead for seven years

    Bm
He was dutifully revered

         F#m
In certain circles they were casting statues out of potter plaster

Dmaj7
But that was all a while ago

Bm
Before he got here

         F#m
Now he lives on gin and tonics

      Dm
And studies Economics
[Chorus]
C                           Bm                       A
Magazine readers, with your matchbooks and compact mirrors

C                          E                       D
Clobbered at Oscar's with flowers in the face of fear

        C                             B                     A
Ah, you magazine readers, with your matchbooks and compact mirrors

 C                          E7                    D
Clobbered at Oscar's with flowers in the face of fear
[Outro] C Bm A C E D
