Introdução:
G C G
Your eyes caught the light grey and bright winter sky
C G D
You came round to my place just to say you weren't alone
G C G
You were dressed like a Misfit, I liked it I guess
C G D
Never mind what you said, I wasn't listening to you then
G C G
Played your straight man it's true, well I was straighter than you
C G D
I laughed at all your mystic views, I think you confused that for kind
G C G
And though the west coast was your home, you liked it best where you weren't known
C G D
I wanted to be yours alone, but wanting never made you mine
C Em
Sylvia, oh Sylvia
D
You never were my Sylvia it's true
C Em
Sometimes you'd kid and say I was your Galahad
G D D7
I never was as good as that but you
G
Still searching for the cup of youth
G C G
Then your lips didn't taste like it meant the same to you
C G D
There were some things I wouldn't do in the back of a black car
G C G
And I turned a darker blue when you said what we both knew
C G D
Then you went and spent your rent getting drunk in hotel bars
G C G
You drove to Washington just to do the same again
C G D
You felt the coarseness creeping in so you sailed to Saigon
G C G
But you soon were back again living with an old girlfriend
C G D
When she went to bed at ten you asked if I was still alone
C Em
Sylvia, oh Sylvia
D
You'd take a swing if someone called you cute
C Em
Sometimes you'd kid and say I was your Galahad
G D D7
I never was as good as that but you
G
Still searching for the cup of youth
G C G
I got someone here who's kind and a child on my mind
C G D
You've left a lot of us behind, but I don't think you were wrong
G C G
'Cuz last I heard you knew the words to every pop country song
C G D
You became the radio, you'd been traveling that long
C Em
Sylvia, oh Sylvia
D
Could be anything to anyone but true
C Em
Sometimes I wish I never let you let me down
G D D7
Sometimes I wished I died in your bedroom
C Em
Sylvia, oh Sylvia
D
You never were anyone's that's true
C Em
I'm older than I was and I was older then
G D D7
You seem the same when I catch sight of you
G
Did you find the cup of youth?
