Things said to your other lover
E                 D       A     E  D A
Sweet as they had been to me

You lay there telling them to each other

G             C/G      G
Now I stand outside the door
G                     B
My head is filled with phrases
E      Abm       C#m    F#m
Inside someone's calling out

It didn't take some shiny dagger
E                D        A     E  D A
Tattooed fingers grip and hone
E              D        A       E  D A
I walked under some dark ladder
  E                D      A      E  D A
I heard your final loving moan

G             C/G      G
All your indiscretions are

So merciful and   brief
