Aspect Of An Old Maid chords and lyrics - THE MENDOZA LINE, WILL SHEFF

Lời & hợp âm

[Verse 1]
[C]Chastised and abraded
So [F]windswept and [C]faded
She wore the aspect of an old [G]maid
But you're [Am]still taking lovers
You take [F]some further than others
I still cannot be[G]lieve [C]how I saw
behind your blinded, blotted eyes
But I [G]could not get beneath your covers
I've [Am]seen the old cabaret
with a [F]fetishist tailor
I've [C]seen the morbid cachet
of [G]sig[C]ni [G]ficant failure
An[Am]d I know this means
so much more to me
than [F]it does to you
[Am]But meet me back at room 417,
[F]we've still got work [G]to do
Hey [C]baby, I know you had that baby
before you were really [F]ready to
Because I've seen [C]you hold it
so timid and unsteady
And I've [G]seen the fear
when it looks at you
And I've [Am]seen so much of your body
And though you were [F]just under thirty
I swore I [C]saw on your face
the aspect of an [G]old maid
And so [Am]call on your tyrant erector,
let his [F]cruel will be dispersed
Tell all my [C]deeds to the inspector,
I [G]am ready for the worst
All that [Am]hunk out stealing,
marijuana dealing,
high sex [F]crimes and electric [G]cars

[G]
Hey, paint[C]ing in the crosshairs,
watch you rearrange the deckchairs
Though you [F]swoon and you sway,
you still don't belong here
[C]It's not as if I ever really
told you that I cared
But [G]you know that even if I did,
you still would not be spared
We're [Am]still taking long drives,
even the young de[F]signer needs a wife
Oh, it's so [C]hard to know just how to dress
for [G]the last days of our lives
I've seen the [Am]whole three -act play
I've seen the [F]poster and the trailer
I never thought [C]I'd have to
pay this much attention
to [G]one girl just to nail her
Down as to [Am]why at once
she wore the [F]aspect of an old [C]maid[G][C][F][C][Am]
