Intro
|Am Bm Em  |Am Bm Em  |


Verse 1
        Am        Bm               Em
I was a young man,    starving and drinking
    Am     Bm              Em
And trying,    to become a writer 
        Am            Bm           Em                D*
And I remember that apartment, the smell of mice and dust 
            Am                       Bm         Em                
And the old woman with the pretty legs. All the kisses that I lost 
Bm
 to your neck.


Verse 2
       Am             Bm                        Em
I am a tennis player, playing on both sides of the net. And I-I-
Am     Bm       Em
I will get you yet 
           Am               Bm              Em       D*
And I will turn you I will turn you like a tattooed pigskin 
    Am            Bm                 Em
And this time you wont forget my face.     Read my lips. 


Chorus 1
  G                            Cadd9        G
A sculpure is a sculpture marmelade is marmelade 
      Cadd9            G                                     D
And a sculture of marmelade is a sculpture but it isn't marmelade 
              G                       Cadd9           G
She said with you inside me comes the knowledge of my death 
    Cadd9            G                           D
But I still had some oranges left underneath the bed 


Instrumental

Verse 3
          Am     Bm              Em
I came to you. I came to depend on you. 
        Am         Bm              Em
I came upon you. I came upon your floor.
        Am            Bm    Em       D*
But the God should be left alone one musn't 
Am    Bm       Em   Bm
Bang upon the door


Verse 4
                  Am                 Bm                 Em
She said that for everything that is visible there is a copy that is hidden 
         Am                Bm     Em
She said nothing takes on light until it has been eaten 
      Am          Bm            Em         D*
I was working the hole with the sailor you wonder 
        Am         Bm            Em
Why you dont get invited to more parties.   Read my lips.


Chorus 2
  G                            Cadd9        G
A sculpure is a sculpture marmelade is marmelade 
      Cadd9            G                                     D
And a sculture of marmelade is a sculpture but it isn't marmelade 
              G                       Cadd9           G
She said with you inside me comes the knowledge of my death 
    Cadd9            G                           D
But I still had some oranges left underneath the bed
