GThis time of night I could D/F#call you up
I'd get Amangry with athletic ease, break Ccommon laws in twos and threes
GAnd if I die clutching D/F#your photograph
Don't call me Amboring, it's just 'cause I Clike you.
Oh, Gtake me on back, take me on back and D/F#take me back
To the Amplace where I could feel your heart
Is tChis the end or just the start of
GSomething really, really D/F#beautiful
Wrapped Amup and disguised as Csomething really, really ugly?
Cmaj7Won't you...
Come by and Gsee me, I'm a Blove letteEmr away
CI'd break your name before I'd Gsay, "I really Blove you, B7love you."
No, CI don't care if Gyou saw, I watched Bevery inch of Emfilm
Flash Cacross your Roman Gfeatures,
And I Bloved it, loved it. No, B7I don't care if
GYou think I'm eager to D/F#shut your eyes, well
I'm Amsorry; everybody knows you can't Cbreak me with your gutter prose
GWould you believe it, she D/F#sent me a letter,
The Amring, it nearly weighs her down, she's Cgot another boy, oh boy.
GSteady your ears, steady your ears and D/F#read my lips
PoeAmtry is not a luxury; it's Chow I'll break this home
And Gwhen I'm really D/F#ill, won't you cradle me?
Man is Amnot a noble animal, but Cmaybe woman is remember,
Cmaj7I heard you...
Inside your rGoom, you said, "BYou’ve never really Emlived
Until your Cback’s against the Gwall.” Oh, did you Breally B7mean it?
No, CI never breGak my gaze, if Bjust to see the sEmcar remain reCflected in your Geyes
I think it's Btime to gB7o home
[Guitar Solo]
G D/F# Am C G D/F# Am C
Oh, Gtell me your thoughts, tell me your thoughts on D/F#liberty.
See there's a Amplace where I sink to Csleeping
She said Goh, my vote is as D/F#red as my blood
Will you jAmoin me for another round? I Chaven't had the chance to speak yet.
Cmaj7God speed...
I break the lGaw once every Bweek to feel youEmr touch,
What's a Cbook to you in Gbed, do you feel Bbetter, B7older?
CThis just makes me Gill; your name is Bdripping from mEmy pen
Still you're Cnot around to Gcurse,
I'll drop the Bgun now; I'm still undeB7r you...

G D/F#

This time of night I could call you up

Am C

I'd get angry with athletic ease, break common laws in twos and threes

G D/F#

And if I die clutching your photograph

Am C

Don't call me boring, it's just 'cause I like you.

G D/F#

Oh, take me on back, take me on back and take me back

To the place where I could feel your heart

Is this the end or just the start of

G D/F#

Something really, really beautiful

Am C

Wrapped up and disguised as something really, really ugly?

Cmaj7

Won't you...

G B Em

Come by and see me, I'm a love letter away

C G B B7

I'd break your name before I'd say, "I really love you, love you."

C G B Em

No, I don't care if you saw, I watched every inch of film

C G

Flash across your Roman features,

B B7

And I loved it, loved it. No, I don't care if

G D/F#

You think I'm eager to shut your eyes, well

Am C

I'm sorry; everybody knows you can't break me with your gutter prose

G D/F#

Would you believe it, she sent me a letter,

Am C

The ring, it nearly weighs her down, she's got another boy, oh boy.

G D/F#

Steady your ears, steady your ears and read my lips

Am C

Poetry is not a luxury; it's how I'll break this home

G D/F#

And when I'm really ill, won't you cradle me?

Am C

Man is not a noble animal, but maybe woman is remember,

Cmaj7

I heard you...

G B Em

Inside your room, you said, "You’ve never really lived

C G B B7

Until your back’s against the wall.” Oh, did you really mean it?

C G B Em C G

No, I never break my gaze, if just to see the scar remain reflected in your eyes

B B7

I think it's time to go home

[Guitar Solo]

G D/F# Am C G D/F# Am C

G D/F#

Oh, tell me your thoughts, tell me your thoughts on liberty.

Am C

See there's a place where I sink to sleeping

G D/F#

She said oh, my vote is as red as my blood

Am C

Will you join me for another round? I haven't had the chance to speak yet.

Cmaj7

God speed...

G B Em

I break the law once every week to feel your touch,

C G B B7

What's a book to you in bed, do you feel better, older?

C G B Em

This just makes me ill; your name is dripping from my pen

C G

Still you're not around to curse,

B B7

I'll drop the gun now; I'm still under you...

Em C Em C Em C Em C

G C

Marianne, let the ghosts sleep tonight

Em C

Marianne, let the ghosts sleep, just shut your eyes and burn the past

G C

Marianne, let the ghosts sleep tonight

Em C

Marianne, let the ghosts sleep, just shut your eyes and burn the past

G C

Marianne,let the ghosts sleep tonight

Em C

Marianne, let the ghosts sleep, just shut your eyes and burn the past

G C

Marianne, let the ghosts sleep tonight

Em C

Marianne, let the ghosts sleep, just shut your eyes and burn the past away.
