Verse 1:
Bbm    Fm      Cm    Eb
Are we to speak, first day of the week
Db     Ab      Eb
Stumbling words at the bar
Bbm     Fm    Cm
Beauty blue eyes, my order of fries
Db      Ab     Eb
Long island kindness and wine
Bbm     Fm   Cm     Eb
Beloved of John, I get it all wrong
  Db      Ab      Eb
I read you for some kind of stone
Bbm     Fm     Cm
Covered in lines, the fossils I find
Db      Ab      Eb
Have they no life of their own?

Chorus 1:
Bbm     Eb   Ab
So can we pretend sweetly
Bbm     Ab   Eb
Before the mystery ends?
Ab   Db           Ab
I am a man with a heart that offends
              Eb
With its lonely and greedy demands
     Fm  Eb    Ab             Eb
There’s only a shadow of me; in a manner of speaking I'm dead

Such a waste, your beautiful face

Slumbering carpet arise

But you and your ring, your life-giving string
 Db     Ab    Eb
Come to me now as a friend
Fm  Bbm   Fm    Cm    Eb
If history speaks, the kiss on my cheek
Fm        Ab       Eb
I’m painting the hills blue and red
Bbm      Fm  Cm      Eb
They said beware, Lord hear my prayer
Db      Ab      Eb
Anointing my love on your head

Chorus 2:
Eb       Cm   Ab
So can we be friends sweetly
Db         Eb
Before the mystery ends?
 Ab     Db           Ab
I love you more than the world can contain
     Db     Ab    Eb
In its loneliest ramshackle head
Fm        Eb   Ab    Db    Ab      Eb
There’s only a shadow of me; in a manner of speaking I'm dead

I’m holding my breath

My signature death

What can be said of my heart?

If history speaks, the kiss on my cheek

Where there remains but a mark

Beloved my John, so I’ll carry on
Db      Eb      Cm
Counting my cards down to one
Bbm       Fm  Cm
And when I am dead, return to the bed
Eb  Db    Ab     Eb
