The Sweetest Thing
My Maudlin Career
Capo 1st Fret
INTRO
C | Dm | C | F (x4)
VERSE
C Dm
I'm going on a date tonight
C F C
To try to fall out of love with you
Dm
I know, I know this is a crime
C F C
But I don't know what else to do
C | Dm | C | F
My love, you're in a magazine
My love, you're doing fine, you're on TV
You pull my heart out and then you run away
Dm C F
You leave me pain
CHORUS
C Dm
When you're lucid you're the sweetest thing
C F C
I would trade my mother to hear you sing
Dm
When you're lucid you're the sweetest thing
C F
I would trade my mother
VERSE
On the bus radio,
"Fifty ways to leave your lover alone"
I laughed at the irony
But life is stupid, the irony all lost on me
It got lost on me
(CHORUS)
INSTRUMENTAL
C | Dm | C | F (x2)
G | F | G | Am | Dm
VERSE
You challenged me to write a love song
Here it is, I think I got it wrong
I focused on the negative
The pain was too much to write and sing
Oh, it was not a nice incentive
CHORUS
When you're lucid you're the sweetest thing
I would trade my mother to hear you sing (X3)
When you're lucid you're the sweetest thing
I would trade my mother
C Dm
But she don't know
C F
Just how far I'd go
C Dm
Would I walk for a hundred miles
C F
for a glimpse of your northern smile?
