[Intro]
C     Fmaj7      G        C
[Verse 1]
CCraze my hair and shine my shoes,
And kiss the Amkiss that I could Glose,G7  
CAnd I looked at what I E7have,
And I have Fone wish,Em  Dm  
CAnd I looked back in youE7r eyes,
And there were Ftwo words,F/G  
Backwards and Cforwards.
[Verse 2]
CHere lies the essence of my peers,
Handshakes, Amhellos and golden Gyears,G7  
See it Csmiling through its E7teeth,
It's the Fwhore who has to Fdie,Em  Dm  
CUnhappy, underneE7ath,
And it's Flong learned not to show it,
F/GGet backwards and forCwards.
[Bridge]
How come when I'm gone I get the Dmblues?A7  Dm  
Bbmaj7Or something special that I Fmight confuse,
Bbmaj7With getting gifts I'm not at Fliberty to use.
It's Gmcold to the touch and Aolder than I know,
And when the Bbworld's with me too much,
I say she Ccomes and then it C#dimgoes.

[Verse 3]
DCould completeness still appeal,
To one who Bmthinks what he should Afeel?
And it Dstares me in the F#7face,
And holds me Gspeechless,
And I Dlook back in your F#7eyes,
And see your Geyes gaze,
See your E7eyes gaze into mine,
AForever.

And see your eyes gaze,

See your eyes gaze into mine,
