[Intro 1]
[C][F][C][F][C][F][C][F]

[Verse 1]
[C]I fried my head,
I'm not a brunette
I'm [F]a down and dusky [C]blonde
I am [F]living in a [C]tree
When [F]I lie in bed I [C]see
Beyond my [F]lover's head the moon,
[C]I hear the rain
[G]

[Verse 2]
[C]
I am conscious of my voice
As [F]a tool it's more demure
[C]Than you[F]r friend the singing que[C]en
With her [F]matinee good look[C]s
She talks like [F]talking from a [C]book
[F]I speak the language of my vil[C]lage,
of my [G]street
[Em]

[Verse 3]
[F]
But I need a friend and [C]I choose you
I tell [Dm]you the way I f[C]eel
The truth is [F]crushing like a [C]heel
I will for[F]get the kiss and [C]feel if you [G]will too

[Verse 4]
[C]Tell me tales of punk rockin' girls
[F]It's a dim and distant [C]page
[F]But I mostly blame my [C]age
Please make al[F]lowances for me
[C]I do not see
[G]

[Verse 5]
[C]
It's a drag that you're getting old
I love [F]to think about the [C]year
When [F]we sobbed and then
we [C]cheered
The town [F]deserted like a film
[C]The sun was baking dust for fun
Trees were withering by the day
Your [F]torso crushing [C]me
Into the [F]country and the tun
[C]nels and [G]the fields

[Verse 6]
[F]
But I need a friend and [C]I choose you
I tell [Dm]you the way I f[C]eel
The truth is [F]crushing like a [C]heel
I will for[F]get the kiss and [C]feel if you [G]will [Em]do
[G][C]

[Verse 7]
[C]I read a book a day, like an apple
[F]But I did not [C]eat
And so [F]the doctor came to [C]me
He said [F]a woman does not [C]live
By the [F]printed word
[C]Forgive [G]yourself and eat

[Verse 8]
[C]
Autumn sped along outside
Trick pho[F]tography on [C]speed
I was [F]locked inside a [C]room
They made a [F]deal, they would control
[C]The simple thi[F]ngs like bodies
[C]But I kept [G]my soul
[Em][G]

[Verse 9]
[F]
When I needed someone
[C]I chose you
Because the [Dm]fledgling soul [C]awakes
And on the [F]balcony she [C]quakes
And she is [F]waiting for the [C]sign
And when the [F]brother does [C]not come
And when the [F]sister's much too young[C],
she chooses [G]you
[Em][G]
