Tonart: Bb major
Verse 1
G
The last time I saw Richard
was Detroit in 68
and he told me all
Romantics meet the same
fate someday
cynical and drunk and boring
someone in some dark cafe
Em
G
You laugh he said you think you're immune
go look at your eyes
They're full of moon you
like roses and kisses
and pretty men to tell you all those
pretty lies
Pretty lies when you're
gonna realize
They're only pretty lies, pretty lies.
He put a quarter in the Wurlitzer,
and he pushed three buttons,
and the thing began to whirr.
And a barmaid came by
in fishnet stockings and a bowtie,
and she said, drink up now,
it's getting on time to close.
Richard, you haven't really changed,
I said.
It's just that now you're
romanticized
on some pain that's in your head
You've got tombs in your eyes,
but the songs you punched
are dreaming
Listen, they talk of love so sweet
Love so sweet
Oh, when you're gonna get yourself
back on your feet
Oh, love can be so sweet
Love so sweet
Em
G
Richard got married to a figure skater
And he bought her a dishwasher
and a coffee percolator
And he drinks most nights now
with the TV on
And all the house lights left
up bright
I'm gonna blow this
damn candle out
I don't want nobody coming over to my table
I got nothing to talk to anybody about
Only a phase, only a dark cocoon
Until I get my gorgeous wings and fly away
Only fades these dark, half -baked days
