INTRO (x2)
Dm 
 
Am9 
VERSE 1
Dm 
 
Am9 
It was treachery, sure
Dm 
 
Am9 
It was August the first
Dm 
 
Am9 
Big brown eyes, dark and pure
Dm 
 
Am9 
And that womanly thrust
 
Eb6 
 
Fm6 
And the looks became words
Eb6 
 
Fm6 
And each word was made flesh
Ab7sus4 
 
G#9sus4 
The heat of summer came screaming out of me and you
D#m7 
 
C#m6 
And all our aimlessness – and  
G#m7b5 
treachery 
 
too
CHORUS 1
 
You  
Eadd9 
turned 
 
 
E 
me 
 
 
Eadd9 
 
E 
Gmaj7 
Drew back every  
G6 
blind 
 
 
Gmaj7 
 
G6 
Cadd9 
Shedding scalding  
C 
light into  
Cadd9 
corners that I  
C 
didn’t 
 
know
 
Con
Eadd9 
cerned 
 
 
E 
me 
 
 
Eadd9 
 
E 
VERSE 2
Dm 
 
Am9 
In that half-borrowed room
Dm 
 
Am9 
A short-term lease was assumed
Dm 
 
Am9 
Then you went overground
Dm 
 
Am9 
With some pale man you found
 
Eb6 
 
Fm6 
Seems I was free to choose
Eb6 
 
Fm6 
Seen from this austere remove
Ab7sus4 
 
G#9sus4 
But those parts within me – broken and reset your way
D#m7 
 
C#m6 
Now made demands which I o
G#m7b5 
beyed
CHORUS 2
 
You  
Eadd9 
turned 
 
 
E 
me 
 
 
Eadd9 
 
E 
 
And so the  
Gmaj7 
main event be
G6 
gan 
 
 
Gmaj7 
 
G6 
 
And some  
Cadd9 
bottles shed their  
C 
load
 
And some  
Cadd9 
people shed their  
C 
clothes
 
Because you  
Eadd9 
turned 
 
 
E 
me 
 
 
Eadd9 
 
E 
CHORUS 3
 
You  
Eadd9 
turned 
 
 
E 
me 
 
 
Eadd9 
 
E 
 
Because I  
Gmaj7 
let it be that way  
G6 
 
Gmaj7 
 
G6 
 
And I  
Cadd9 
worshipped the pro  
C 
fane
 
And  
Cadd9 
those who helped me  
C 
pray
 
De
D#m7 
served me  
Abm7 
 
D#m7 
 
Abm7 
 
D#m7 
People like ho
Abm7 
tells
 
A  
D#m7 
night or two,  
Abm7 
on we go
D#m7 
People like  
Abm7 
juries
D#m7 
Don’t look left, don’t  
Abm7 
clear your throat
D#m7 
She’s like a  
Abm7 
baby, 
 
be
D#m7 
lieves in no one  
Abm7 
else’s 
 
pain
C#m6 
All glassy  
C#m7 
eyes and sancti
G#m7b5 
fied 
 
disdain
CHORUS 4
 
You  
Eadd9 
turned 
 
 
E 
me 
 
 
Eadd9 
 
E 
 
So it’s the  
Gmaj7 
Nobel 
 
 
G6 
Prize for you  
Gmaj7 
 
G6 
 
Now you’re  
Cadd9 
looking so  
C 
stately, 
 
 
Cadd9 
pious yet  
C 
shapely
 
Pa
Eadd9 
rading down the  
E 
avenue 
 
 
Eadd9 
 
E 
CHORUS 5/OUTRO
 
You  
Eadd9 
turned 
 
 
E 
me 
 
 
Eadd9 
 
E 
 
Or do I  
Gmaj7 
misre
G6 
member, dear  
Gmaj7 
 
G6 
 
I have  
Cadd9 
nothing left to  
C 
give that I could  
Cadd9 
trade just to re
C 
live
 
Those  
Abmadd9 
days 
 
 
Abm 
when 
 
 
Abmadd9 
 
Abm 
 
You  
Bbmadd9 
turned 
 
me
