(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? 
         D7                              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        Cadd9      B 
They'll come crashing through the wall 
     A          D7     Cadd9     B      A    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 
You may be an embarassment 
      D7                                       G   C G C  G C G C 
But I love the way your clothes are never in style 
  C 
Living's much too easy 
     Cm                          G  C G C  G C G C 
And dying will be some kind of bore 
         D          Cadd9    B   A 
Well you swear that you're original 
       D7       Cadd9       B       A     G    C G C  G C G C 
But I know I've seen those jealous eyes before 

(Refrão 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 
    C      G         C     G     C G C  G C G C 
And we can all sleep for a while 
       D 
Well I told you once before 
   D7                                 G    C G C  G C G C 
I love your braces and your hesitant smile 
 C 
Please don't get me wrong 
           Cm 
It's only right that you can stamp on my heart 
       D       Cadd9     B          A 
Well I see you and your friends someplace 
    D7     Cadd9       B       A    G C G C  G C G C 
You know I just can't tell you apart 

(Refrão 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

Though it's far away from me 
        D5 
Look me up when you get home

And maybe then we'll see

And we'll both keep screaming on
