[Intro]
Am Bm……..
 
[Verse]
Am Em..While there’s still a fighting chance
B7 Em..Can’t you just get up and go
Am Em,..And get away from this hollow romance
B7 EmIt’s slowly binding us both
Am EmBecause you’ll tell me what you want and I’ll avoid it
B7 EmTell it to the sick and to the damned
Am EmShow me what you love, watch me destroy it
B7 Em B7For love just crumbles in my hands…..
 
[Refrain]
CM7But if you stay for a while..
GI’ll try to think of something kind to say
CM7And maybe if we pray for a while
B7St. Jude might hear my pleas
 
And see me on my knees
 
[Chorus]
CM7Because she knows how I adore you
B7We won’t be fighting again tonight
CM7Not if she knows I adore you
B7No fighting again tonight..
 
[Bridge]
Am Em..I laugh and fall just like Grimaldi
B7 EmYou wear your make-up like Baby Jane
Am EmAll of those promising lies that you told me
B7 EmCome on and tell me them again
Am EmOh well, I walked these streets all of my life..
B7 EmThe fear and hope at every turn
Am EmShe took him to Stepney and made him a wife
B7 EmOh you know yeah you know they’ll crash and burn
 
[Verse]
Am EmBecause she’ll tell him what she wants and he’ll avoid it
B7 EmMay as well tell it to the sick and to the damned
Am EmShow him what you love, watch him destroy it
B7 Em B7For love seems to crumble in his hands…..
 
[Refrain]
CM7But if you stay for a while..
GI’ll try to think of something kind to say
CM7And maybe if we pray for a while
B7St. Jude might hear my pleas
 
And see me on my knees
 
[Chorus]
CM7Because she knows how I adore you
B7We won’t be fighting again tonight
CM7Not if she knows I adore you
B7No fighting again tonight..
 
[Outro]
