DmOh some girls hold the ace, the deuce, the trey
X-Cray the Fdeck to see what's Bbcoming
DmMary Antoinette she smiled that way
Easy to Csmile when the Fluck is Bbrunning
FLike a myth you Bbrode in from the Cwest
FFrom the go you Bbhad my button Cpressed
Did the Dmtea-time of your Bbsoul make you Dmlong for wilder Bbdays?
Did you Dmnever let Jack BbKerouac wash Dmover you in Bbwaves?
Chorus:
GmSibella, Cwe don't make sense together
GmBut my heart's with Cyou
GmSibella, CI found myself strange but trGmue
Strange but Dmtrue
Some say you can learn a lot from books
Thrill right to second-hand living
Life is just as deadly as it looks
But fiction is more forgiving
You took chances well within your means
Salon hair and creases in your jeans
All those lonely winters long did you really think it through
Did you really ache for me like I really ached for you
Chorus
