A Thousand Kisses Deep
From the album Ten New Songs
[Intro]
Fm C Fm
[Verse 1]
Fm C
The ponies run, the girls are young,
Fm
the odds are there to beat
Fm C
You win a while and then it's done,
Db
your little winning streak
Bbm C
And summoned now to deal
Fm Ddim
with your invincible defeat
Bbm C
you live your life as if it's real
Db Eb Fm
a thousand kisses deep
[Verse 2]
Fm C
I'm turning tricks, I'm getting fixed
Fm
I'm back on Boogie Street
Fm C
You lose your grip and then you slip
Db
into the masterpiece
Bbm C
And maybe I had miles to drive
Fm Ddim
and promises to keep
Bbm C
You ditch it all to stay alive
Db Eb Fm
a thousand kisses deep
[Interlude]

[Bridge]
Bbm C
And sometimes when the night is slow
Fm Ddim
the wretched and the meek
Bbm C
We gather up our hearts and go
Db Eb Fm
a thousand kisses deep
[Verse 3]
Fm C
Confined to sex, we pressed against
Fm
the limits of the sea
Fm C
I saw there were no oceans left
Db
for scavengers like me
Bbm C
I made it to the forward deck
Fm Ddim
I blessed our remnant fleet
Bbm C
and then consented to be wrecked
Db Eb Fm
a thousand kisses deep
[Verse 4]
Fm C
I'm turning tricks, I'm getting fixed
Fm
I'm back on Boogie Street
Fm C
I guess they won't exchange the gifts
Db
that you were meant to keep
Bbm C
And quiet is the thought of you
Fm Ddim
the file on you complete
Bbm C
Except what we forgot to do
Db Eb Fm
a thousand kisses deep
