([Dm] [Bb] [F] [G])
i'm all alone this is a holiday
some bloody holiday
my friends have gone away

([Dm] [Bb] [F] [G])
they're of the temp-or-ary sort i think
i will be better without
as long as you let me out

([Bb] [F] [A] [Dm])
to taste the air beside the river
i pick the soundtrack with immaculate care

([Bb] [F] [A] [A7])
such a lot rests upon it
my life upon a song
you don't know how much i need
musician, please take heed

([Dm] [Bb] [F] [G])
i thought i might just write a letter
anything to stay away
from books and lessons today

([Dm] [Bb] [F] [G])
besides, it's part of my induction
into the literate world
i am a literate girl

([Bb] [F] [A] [Dm])
i string the words together softly
i lay my love upon you with each line

([Bb] [F] [A] [A7])
a gift of improvising
removes me from revising
i made a daisy chain from
phrase, verse, and punctuation

([D] [A] [Gm] [Bm])
ill kick this mood off with a change of scene
i bought a leotard i'm going to the gym

([G] [D] [A] [Am] [G] [A])
i couldn't get away with wearing it all summer
but i've lost a lot of weight
i think it's down to leaving meat
out of my diet as a rule
i wont buy it 'cause it's cruel

([Dm] [Bb] [F] [G])
and if the nighttime threatens me with pain
i will give into lust
i will do what i must

([Dm] [Bb] [F] [G])
i've got a number of a girl i know
who gets hallucinogens from a pair of hooligans

([Bb] [F] [A] [Dm])
ill take a dose i don't mind trying
she lets me stay there while i leave the ground

([Bb] [F] [A] [A7])
i slow go off beside her
think that i'll stay 'till morning
she's got me started yawning
