Version 1 Version 2
[Verse 1]
Bm
Getting dressed for a date
G
Put on blue aftershave
D
Wore a kilt like a Celt
F#
Hid the way that I felt
Bm
Combat boots, fallen leaves
G
West Village, Halloween
D
To a Bollywood song
F#
Taking shots 'till we're gone
Bm
Unwelcome in the autumn
G
Persona Non Grata
D
I'm the last of the best
F#m
I'm your thoughts in the swamp
Bm
There's a playground of children
G
In the shadows of buildings
D
There's a line out the church
F#
Where your homelessness works
Bm
Where the stain glass of crimson
G
Meets Ezekiel's Visions
F#m
Saw a valley of bones
A
Where no man shall be saved
[Chorus]
D G
And now you, you come to me, asking that
D G
And now you, you come to me, and you're asking that
A
Oh how can we reconcile?

[Verse 2]
Bm
Left your innocence there
G
In Tiananmen Square
D
You were filled with despair
F#
Underfed and depressed
Bm
Vacant lot where a prison stood
G
God knows you never would
D
Lie to yourself
F#
But you do every time
Bm
Made a life of deception
G
And passive aggression
D
Going to scream when I sing
F#m
Going to die in the ring
Bm
Turn me on, you're a knockout
G
Climb up on to my cloud
F#
Do your worst to me now
A
Before I change my mind
[Chorus]
G D A Bm
Now you, you want to be true, to me once again
G D Am G
And you want me to be true, to you once again
G D A Bm
Oh yeah you, you want to be true, to me once again
G D Am G
And you want me to be true, to you once again
