A A/G D/F# D Dsus D

On the fifth day of May, she was breaking away

You put money on the color of the sky

A A/G D/F# D Dsus D

Well the color of her voice left you there no choice

But to drink the Liffey dry

What's on your breath is the fear of death

A A/G D/F# D Dsus D

That makes such a man promiscuous

A A/G D/F# D Dsus D

Your mouth was dry like when you were bound to lie

A A/G D/F# D Dsus D

And her lips are so luscious

A A/G D/F# D Dsus D

You've seen it before, you hurled at her door

A A/G D/F# D Dsus D

Like a dog when she needed a man

A A/G D/F# D Dsus D

Now she aches and she breaks, and she takes

A A/G D/F# D Dsus D

All the weight of your world, 'cause she almost can

As the yellow hats dug up the road

Didn't hear what you said, as the lights turned red

A A/G D/F# D Dsus D

On a love that should have stayed gold

Gold...
