I can’t see us goin’ anywhere, girl,
C

the only place open is a 1000 miles away and I can’t take you there.
Dm
I wish that I’d been a doctor,
Dm
maybe I’d’ve saved some life that’d been lost,

I ain't too good at conversation, girl,

Dm
But it’s like I’m stuck inside this painting,
Dm
that’s a-hangin’ in the Louvre,

Or do you remember St. James St.

no more booby traps and bombs, no more decadence and charms,

no more affection that’s misplaced, girl,
