[Intro 1]
[G][D][Am][Em][G][D][Am][Em]
[G]

[Verse 1]
I was [Em]looking
[D]for a rhyme for [Am]the new york times
When [Em]I sensed I was not [G]alone
She said d'you [D]know how
to spell auda[Am]ciously
I could [Em]tell I was in [G]luck
And so I [D]forced a smile
contrary [Am]to my style
And she [Em]looked into my eye[G]s
She said d'you [D]want to go heav[Am]en
Or would you [Em]rather not be [G]saved
Here comes my [Am]train[F]
I'm on my [C]way, will you not [Em]see
I don't [F]need your sympathy
[Em]I won't read[F] your poetry,
[G]oh sweetness ple[D]ase[Am][Em][G][D][Am][Em]
[G]
So [D]she took me back to
[Am]her basement flat
Which was [Em]down on charlotte [G]street
Though it was [D]never my inten[Am]tion
We were [Em]not intense, not l[G]east because
Well if [D]you must just take then
I'm a [Am]piece of cake
That is [Em]what she said to [G]me
And so I [D]gave myself to her [Am]charity
Well at [Em]least that's how it [G]seemed
Here comes my [Am]train[F]
I'm on my [C]way, what got into [Em]me
I don't [F]need your sympath[Em]y
I won't [F]read your [G]poetry, [D]oh[Am][Em][G][D][Am]
[Em][G][D][Am]
[Em][G][D][Am][Em][G][D]
[Am]bitt[Em]erswe[G]ets[D][Am][Em][G]
I was [D]looking for a rhyme for [Am]the new
times when I was dis[Em]tracted[G]
Yes those were [D]precious times
[Am]together that we [Em]wasted[G]
Now I'm [D]working hard for my [Am]union card
I must be[Em]lieve in charlotte [G]street
Though it was [D]never my inten
[Am]tion to stay so [Em]long[G]

[Outro 1]
So long
