Fm C7 Fm
Fm
The ponies run,
C7
the girls are young,
Fm
the odds are there to beat,
Fm
you win a while,
C7
and then it's done,
Db
your little winning streak.
Bbm C7
And summoned now to deal
Fm Eb Db
with your invincible defeat,
Bbm
you live your life
C7 Db
as if it's real,
Eb Fm
a thousand kisses deep.
Fm
I'm turning tricks,
C7
I'm getting fixed,
Fm
I'm back on Boogie Street,
Fm
you lose your grip,
C7
and then you slip
Db
into the masterpiece.
Bbm C7 Fm
And maybe I had miles to drive,
Eb Db
and promises to keep,
Bbm C7 Db
you ditch it all to stay alive,
Eb Fm
a thousand kisses deep.
Fm C7 Fm . . . Fm C7 Db
Bbm
And sometimes when
C7 Fm
the night is slow,
Eb Db
the wretched and the meek,
Bbm
we gather up
C7 Db
our hearts and go,
Eb Fm
a thousand kisses deep.
Fm
Confined to sex,
C7
we pressed against
Fm
the limits of the sea,
Fm
I saw there were
C7 Db
no oceans left
for scavengers like me.
Bbm
I made it to
C7 Fm
the forward deck,
Eb Db
I blessed our remnant fleet,
Bbm
and then consented
C7 Db
to be wrecked,
Eb Fm
a thousand kisses deep.
Fm
I'm turning tricks,
C7
I'm getting fixed,
Fm
I'm back on Boogie Street,
Fm
I guess they won't
C7
exchange the gifts
Db
that you were meant to keep.
Bbm
And quiet is
C7 Fm
the thought of you,
Eb Db
the file on you complete,
Bbm
except what we
C7 Db
forgot to do,
Eb Fm
a thousand kisses deep.
Fm C7 Fm . . . Fm C7 Db
Bbm
And sometimes when
C7 Fm
the night is slow,
Eb Db
the wretched and the meek,
Bbm
we gather up
C7 Db
our hearts and go,
Eb Fm
a thousand kisses deep.
Fm
The ponies run,
C7
the girls are young,
Fm
the odds are there to beat,
Fm
you win a while,
C7 Db
and then it's done,
your little winning streak.
Bm C7
And summoned now to deal with your
Fm Eb Db
invincible defeat,
Bbm
you live your life
C7 Db
as if it's real,
Eb Fm
a thousand kisses deep.
