No Mercy for the Muse Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]Shabby boy?s kept you
[F#m]up all night
Oh, sen[Bm]timental drink[F#m]ers
Sing [Bm]songs that end in [F#m]fights [A]about fights

[Verse 2]
And [D]they'll swear to you
That they [F#m]just can't help it
Know that [Bm]poem in their [F#m]head
That [Bm]painting of your [F#m]bed, i[A]t must out

[Verse 3]
Does [G]time stand still
When you [F#m]cross the room?
[G]Oh, surely it must [F#m]do
When they [G]write a song
That goes [F#m]on and on about you[A]

[Verse 4]
Does [D]your golden hair, [F#m]fall in waves?
No [Bm]mention of a [F#m]spot
Tan[Bm]trum or tooth [F#m]rot, not for them
[A]

[Verse 5]
Just [D]pearly smiles and Mona [F#m]Lisa wiles
For your [Bm]coterie [F#m]of stars
Your [Bm]barrel of char[F#m]latans
[A]

[Verse 6]
[G]Celebrate, and they [D]will venerate
[G]Hold their heads in the morning [D]glare
[Bm]For with some faint praise
They will [F#m]hold your gaze
And [G]dedicate it all to [D]you
Yeah, [G]dedicate it all to [D]you[Bm][F#m]
[G]

[Interlude 1]
[A][D]
[A][Bm][F#m][G][A]

[Verse 7]
Oh, you [D]live your life in [F#m]black and white
No sub[Bm]tlety for [F#m]you,
[Bm]no mercy for [F#m]the muse
It?s [A]true

[Verse 8]
Come [D]in again, [F#m]number 10
Oh, your [Bm]army of type[F#m]writers
Your [Bm]consequence [F#m]of biters
won't last [A]long

[Verse 9]
And [D]life will burden [F#m]you not
[Bm]Love will carry on with a
[F#m]thrust

[Verse 10]
[Bm]And they'll swear [F#m]to you
That [Bm]they just can't help [F#m]it
That [Bm]poem in their [F#m]head
That [Bm]painting of your [F#m]bed
It must [A]out, it must [D]out

[Verse 11]
[G]Celebrate and they will vener[D]ate
Hold their [G]heads in the morning [D]glare
[Bm]For with some faint praise
They will [F#m]hold your gaze
And [G]dedicate it all to [D]you
Yeah, [G]dedicate it all to [D]you
Yeah, [G]dedicate it all to you
