An Animal In Your Care

Time after t[E]ime you will for[Abm]give me
Like an a[G]nimal in your c[B]are
But give it t[E]ime.  You will out[Abm]live me
And take the [G]bow back you put in my [B]hair
Made a par[E]ade of myself in the [Abm]street outside your house
For the [G]New York photographer [B]there
I fell for [E]crime and I fell for [Abm]beauty
I fell for [G]you because you're the one that [B]cared

And when I [C]die you can put on [G]costumes
In the [Em]style of the clothes I [Em]wore
And sing the [C]songs your lover [G]taught you
When you were [Em]too young to know that this was [Em]   what they were for.

La la la [C]la. La la la [G]lala. lala[Em]la     [Em]
La la la [C]la. La la la [G]lala. lala[Em]la     [E]

Like some dead [E]relative, you will re[Abm]member me most
by my [G]funeral and all the [B]beautiful toasts you [E]made
Take back the [Abm]spade.  We've both been [G]filling up our days
like we were [B]filling in a grave
