[Verse 1]
The last time I saw Richard [G]was Detroit [Asus4]in '68
And he told me all romantics meet
[Am]the same fate [Asus4]someday
Cynical and drunk and boring someone
in [G]some dark [Dsus4]cafe[G]
You laugh, he said you think you're immune,
go [Asus4]look at your eyes[Am]
They're [Em]full [Am]of moon
You like roses and kisses and
pretty men to tell you
All [G]those pretty lies, [C]pretty lies
When you gonna realize
[F]they're only pretty lies
Only [G]pretty [Dsus4]lies, jus[G]t pretty[A]
[Asus4]lies

[Interlude 1]

[G]

[Verse 2]
He put a quarter in [G]the
Wurlitzer, and he [A]pushed
[Asus4]Three buttons and the thing
began to whir
And a bar [A]maid came [Asus4]by in fishnet
[A]stockings and a [Asus4]bow tie
And she [G]said drink up now it's gettin'
on time [Dsus4]to close[G]
Richard, you haven't really changed,
I said
It's just that [Asus4]now you'r[Em]e romanticizing some
[Am]pain [Asus4]that's in your h[Em]ead
You got tombs in your eyes, but the songs
You punched are dream[Dsus4]ing
[G]Listen, they sing of love so sweet,
[C]love so sweet
[F]When you gon[C]na get yourself
[F]back on your feet?
Oh and love [G]can be so sweet,
[Am]love [Asus4]so sweet
[A][D][Dsus4][D]

[Verse 3]
[G]
Richard got married to a figure skater
And he [Asus4]bought her a dishwasher[Am]
and a coffee percolator
And he drinks at home now
most nights with the TV on
And all the [G]house lights
left [Dsus4]up bright[G]
I'm gonna blow this damn candle out
I don't want [Asus4]nobody co[Am]min'
over [Asus4]to my table
I got nothing to talk to anybody about
[Em]All good dreamers pass[Am]
this way some [G]day
Hidin' behind bottles in dark cafes
[C]Dark cafes
Only a dark cocoon before [F]I get
my [Csus4]gorgeous [F]wings
And [G]fly away
Only a phase, [Asus4]these dar[A]k caf[Asus4]e
[A]days
