Capo on 7
D G Em G
No one wants to hear about your 97th tear
Bm G A
So dry your eyes or let it go uncried, my dear
Em G A
I am all out of love to mouth and to your ear
Em G A Em G A
And not above letting a love song disappear before it's written
D G Em G
And no one wants a tune about the 100th luftballoon
Bm G A
that was seen shooting from the window of your room
Em G A
To be a spot against the sky's colossal gloom
Em G A Em G A
And land deflated in some neighbor's state that's strewn with 99 others
Em A
8 chinese brothers
D A Em G A
Well, there's a reason why the last is smiling wide and sitting higher than the others
Em G A
Swinging his arms
You would probably die before you shot up 9 miles high
Your eyes dilated as light played upon the sight
Of TVC16 as it sings you goodnight
Relaxed as hell and locked up in cell 45
I hope you're feeling better
51st way to leave your lover
Admittedly, it doesn't seem to be as gentle or as clean as all the others
Even a scars all in the after hours of some Greenpoint bar
I told you, I can't listen, baby, 'bout the 4th time you were a lady
and how your forthrightness betrayed a secret shyness
Stripped away by days of being hailed as "your highness"
And what's new pussycat, as you were once a lionness
They cut your claws out
Kitten, not everyone's keen on lighting candle 17,
the party's done, the cake's all gone, the plates are clean
The chauffeur's near and from the cheerless mezzanine
And in just one year, this straight world could pay to see what they have been missing
You were caught kissing 8 chinese brothers
Well, there's a reason why the last is smiling wide
and sitting higher than the others
Staking with charm
G A
And he says, "Lets get lost, let them send out alarms
Em A
He says, "Let's get crossed out and come to harm"
Em A
"Lets make the world's stupidest stand and truly mean it
Em A
Lets hit the limit of loss over lover's arms
Em
No, lets exceed it"
