[Verse 3]
I took you down to [E]a party
[Em]On the night[G] of th[A]e
4th of [Bm]May[G][Bm]
[D]And a strange and growing res[A]tlessness
Had [G]hung in the [D]air all [Em]day
[D]The need to try and tea[A]r down
And [G]destroy [D]all
that we'd [Em]made
Lady of ladies
[B]

[D]When I was [C]in [B]America
[C]Daring each other just to say[B] okay
[C]Swap for tonight, didn't I [B]al ways say
That [Em]freedom [Am]seems to be
[B]everything to [Em]me

[Verse 5]
And she [Am]came and she sat
down [B]beside [Em]me
And you [C]found an excuse
[B]to go downsta[Em]irs
And [Am]she smiled and [B]made
[Em]The kind of conversation that [B]you do
[Am]And later on she s[B]aid
[Em]'My last train has gone
Oh I [C]wonder if you [B]could run me [Em]home'

[Verse 6]
And I [Am]found you in [B]the hall
way and told [Em]you
That was all that I would [B]do
[Em]Just [Edim]run her home and it's thr[B]ough
[Em]Oh I thoug[Edim]ht you k[B]new[Em]
But I must [D]con[G]fess
[D]I laid my head on her[C] breast[Em]
And it seemed so [D]hard
To pull it away
[C]

[Verse 7]
[Em]
Her hand [D]touched my [G]hand
And her [D]eyes were offering [C]the rest[Em]
If it wasn't for you,
[D]oh I would hav[C]e stayed
[Em]But I came back [D]home
through the morn[C]ing
[Em]To find you ly[D]ing [C]awake
And I [Em]knew all at [D]once what you'd [C]done
And [Am]I heard myself [B]say
[Em]"Why did you have to sleep with him
Anyone else
Wouldn't have mattered
Half

[Interlude 2]
As much as him"

[Verse 8]
I don't want [E]to touch you
[G]Somehow you fee[A]l uncle[Bm]an[D]
I just wish that [A]you
Were five hundred [G]miles [D]away from [Em]me
[D]Don't talk at all, don't sta[A]rt to cry[G]
[D]Just pack up your [Em]things
Lady of ladies
[B]

[Verse 9]
And [Em]though I'd [D]always [Em]told myself[D]
That [C]when our time [B]ended
I'd [Em]walk [D]away [Em]with no re[D]grets
And [C]no attempts to [B]stay
[C]Somehow it doesn't seem to [B]be that way
[C]I find I'm needing every w[B]ord you say
This [Em]freedom [Am]seems to be
[B]everything to [Em]me

[Verse 10]
[Am]
And you [B]went up to Cam[Em]bridge
And [Am]you stayed in your
[B]brother's [Em]room
And you [Am]wro te me a lett[B]er
[Em]and sent it the same afternoon
[B]You[Am] said "I just wan[B]t to hurt myself[Em]
Oh I [Am]need you so [B]badly [Em]now"

[Verse 11]
[Am]And you told me
[B]"Without you there seem
[Em]s to be no horizon at all[B]
[Em]Just no cr[Edim]ack in the wa[B]ll
[Em]No place[Edim] lower to fall
[B]

[Verse 12]
[Em]"Hey don't [D]leave me,
don't [C]leave me
[Em]The shapeless[D]ness of the [C]dawn
[Em]Floods [D]above and be[C]neath me,
I can't [B]go on

[Verse 13]
And I had [Am]to walk right
into the [B]trap
[Am]And I had to say please come [B]back
Though I felt [Am]all the while
My [C]resistance slipping away
[B]

[Verse 14]
[Em]Why did I have to fall for you
Anyone else
Wouldn't have hurt me
Half
As much as you
