Verse 1:

(Piano only)

 F      F     F
Pull me up a chair
    F         F     F
And keep your money
        F   F          F F F F  F F F F
There's no guarantees
 G
Won't you please forgive me?
         G7                              F      F F F  F F F F
But you know cold-blooded women make me sneeze
         F        
And I'll kick you out the door
        Fm                   F F F F  F F F F
If for just one minute you lie
              G        Fadd9      E
They'll come crashing through the wall
     D          G7     Fadd9     E      D    F F F F  F F F F
And leave you crawling 'til the minute you die


Verse 2:

 F       F       F        F
Pour yourself a drink or three
     F     F           F       F        F F F F  F F F F
And maybe we'll think clearer for a while
 G
You may be an embarassment
      G7                                       F   F F F  F F F F
But I love the way your clothes are never in style
  F
Living's much too easy
     Fm                          F  F F F  F F F F
And dying will be some kind of bore
         G          Fadd9    E   D
Well you swear that you're original
       G7       Fadd9       E       D     F    F F F  F F F F
But I know I've seen those jealous eyes before


Chorus 1:

           F5
So steal a watch right off my wrist
       F5
Oh and shake me by the hand
         G5
We could disappear for days
          F5       D5    D#5
And they wouldn't understand
  E5   F5
Gypsy blood will get you far
       F5                           G7*
And we will not miss you when you go

Verse 3:

 F    F      F       F        F
Tear another hole in my brown shoes
    F      F         F     F     F F F  F F F F
And we can all sleep for a while
       G
Well I told you once before
   G7                                 F    F F F  F F F F
I love your braces and your hesitant smile
 F
Please don't get me wrong
           Fm
It's only right that you can stamp on my heart
       G       Fadd9     E          D
Well I see you and your friends someplace
    G7     Fadd9       E       D    F F F F  F F F F
You know I just can't tell you apart


Chorus 2:

                    F5
And though they'll hunt you like a dog
         F5
But they won't take you alive
          G5
Cause you made big piles of money
            F5     D5      D#5
Stacked up twenty storeys high
 E5       F5
Well the boys in every bar
      F5                           G7*
They will not miss you when you go
