Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
Oh  some girls hold the ace, the deuce, the trey
 X-ray  the deck  to see what's coming
Mary  Antoinette she smiled that way
 Easy to smile  when the luck  is running
Like  a myth you rode  in from the west
From  the go you had  my button pressed
 Did the tea-time  of your soul  make you long  for wilder days?
 Did you never  let Jack Kerouac  wash over  you in waves?
Sibella, we  don't make sense together
But  my heart's with you
Sibella, I  found myself strange but true
 Strange but true
 Some say you can learn a lot from books
 Thrill right to second-hand living
 Life is just as deadly as it looks
 But fiction is more forgiving
 You took chances well within your means
 Salon hair and creases in your jeans
 All those lonely winters long did you really think it through
 Did you really ache for me like I really ached for you
