Verse 1:

(Piano only)

 G      C     G
Pull me up a chair
    C         G     C
And keep your money
        G  C           G C G C  G C G C
There's no guarantees
 D
Won't you please forgive me?
 D                                       G      C G C  G C G C
But you know cold-blooded women make me sneeze
         C        
And I'll kick you out the door
        Cm                     G C G C  G C G C
If for just one minute you lie
              D
They'll come crashing through the wall
              D                                 G C G C  G C G C
And leave you crawling 'til the minute you die


Verse 2:

 G       C       G        C
Pour yourself a drink or three
     G     C           G       C          G C G C  G C G C
And maybe we'll think clearer for a while
 D      D       D     D
You may be an embarassment
      D         D        D          D         G    C G C  G C G C
But I love the way your clothes are never in style
  C        C        C
Living's much too easy
 C   Cm   Cm       Cm   Cm       G  C G C  G C G C
And dying must be some kind of bore
         D          D       D    D
Well you swear that you're original
       D         D          D       D       G    C G C  G C G C
But I know I've seen those jealous eyes before


Chorus 1:

           C5
So steal a watch right off my wrist
       G5
Oh and shake me by the hand
         D5
We could disappear for days
          G5       A5    A#5
And they wouldn't understand
  B5   C5
Gypsy blood will get you far
       G5                            D7
And we will not miss you when you go

Verse 3:

 G    C      G       C        G
Tear another hole in my brown shoes

And we can all sleep for a while
       D         D     D
Well I told you once before
   D        D       D        D   D    G    C G C  G C G C
I love your braces and your hesitant smile

Please don't get me wrong
           Cm
It's only right that you can stamp on my heart
       D        D        D          D
Well I see you and your friends someplace
    D       D          D      D   G   C G C  G C G C
You know I just can't tell you apart


Chorus 2:

                    C5
And though they'll hunt you like a dog
         G5
But they won't take you alive
          D5
Cause you made big piles of money
            G5     A5      A#5
Stacked up twenty storeys high
 B5       C5
Well the boys in every bar
      G5                           D7
They will not miss you when you go

Look me up when you get home
