Intro:  F  Am  Bb  C  Dm F  

                Am       Bb   C     Dm 
Princess cards she sends me with her regards 
    Gm                 Dm         Bb                     C 
Oh, barroom eyes shine vacancy to see her you gotta look hard 
F               Am             Bb                C         Dm 
Wounded deep in battle I stand stuffed like some soldier undaunted 
       Gm                  Dm                  Bb         C     Bb  Am 
To her Cheshire smile I'll stand on file she's all I ever wanted 
Gm      Bb            C                F            Am 
But you let your blue walls get in the way of these facts 
       Bb             C       F      Am 
Honey, get your carpetbaggers off my back 
    Bb                    C       F        Am 
You wouldn't even give me time to cover my tracks 
         Csus4                       C 
You said here's your mirror and your ball and jacks 
    Csus4                   C           Csus4             C 
But they're not what I came for and I'm sure you see that too 
           Dm       Am   Gm         Bb   C       Dm 
I came for you, for you, I came for you, but you did not need my urgency 
                    Am   Gm         Bb   C        Dm 
I came for you, for you, I came for you, but your life was one long emergency 
         Fsus4              F       Fsus4               F  Dm C 
and your cloud line urges me and my electric surges free 
F             Am             Bb       C       Dm 
Crawl into my ambulance your pulse is getting weak 
      Gm                Dm                   Bb                         C 
Oh, reveal yourself all now to me girl while you've got the strength to speak 
              F                  Am       Bb         C      Dm 
Cause they're waiting for you at Bellevue with their oxygen masks 
    Gm              Dm                Bb             C  Bb  Am 
But I could give it all to you now if only you could ask 
Gm        Bb            C            F                Am 
And don't call for your surgeon even he says it's too late 
              Bb         C              F                     Am 
It's not your lungs this time it's your heart that holds your fate 
      Bb         C             F               Am 
Don't give me my money, honey, I don't want it back 
             Csus4              C 
You and your pony face and your Union Jack 
     Csus4                     C 
Well take your local joker and teach him how to act 
  Csus4                           C 
I swear I was never that way even when I really cracked 
Csus4              C                  Dm            Am         Gm  Bb 
Didn't you think I knew that you were born with the power of a locomotive 
C       Dm 
Able to leap tall buildings in a single bound 
                    Am             Gm     Bb 
And your Chelsea suicide with no apparent motive 
C         Dm 
You could laugh and cry in a single sound 
SOLO:  Fsus4  F  Fsus4  F 

         C                              Bb                F 
And your strength is devastating in the face of all these odds 
  C                                         Bb                C 
Remember how I kept you waiting when it was my turn to be the God 
    F                  Am                   Bb        C             Dm 
Ah, you were not quite half so proud when I found you broken on the beach 
      Gm                  Dm                      Bb               C 
Oh, remember how I poured salt on your tongue and hung just out of reach 
        F                    Am                  Bb  C           Dm 
And the band they played the homecoming theme as I caressed your cheek 
           Gm             Dm               Bb                  C    Bb  Am 
Yeah, that ragged, jagged melody she still clings to me like a leech 
Gm       Bb                     C            F          Am 
But that medal you wore on your chest always got in the way 
       Bb                 C         F               Am 
Like a little girl with a trophy so soft to buy her way 
        Csus4                             C 
We were both hitchhikers but you had your ear tuned to the roar 
        Csus4                       C 
Of some metal tempered engine on an alien distant shore 
       Csus4                                 C 
So you left to find a better reason than the one we were living for 
                  Csus4           C 
And it's not that nursery mouth I came back for 
             Csus4                    C 
And it's not the way you're stretched out on the floor 
           Csus4                            C 
cause I've broken all your windows and I've rammed through all your doors 
    Csus4                  C 
And who am I to ask you to lick my sores 
    Csus4                  C 
And you should know that's true 
C Bb   C   Dm       Am   Gm         Bb   C       Dm 
I came for you, for you, I came for you, but you did not need my urgency 
                    Am   Gm         Bb   C        Dm 
I came for you, for you, I came for you, but your life was one long emergency 
         Fsus4              F       Fsus4               F 
and your cloud line urges me and my electric surges free
