Am

[Verse 1]
                              E
The ponies run, the girls are young
             Am
The odds are there to beat
                               E
You win a while, and then it’s done
            F
Your little winning streak
             Dm     E
And summoned now to deal
         Am      G     F
With your invincible defeat
              Dm              E
You live your life as if it’s real
F          G      Am
A Thousand Kisses Deep


[Verse 2]
                                E
I’m turning tricks, I’m getting fixed
            Am
I’m back on Boogie Street
                                 E
You lose your grip, and then you slip
          F
Into the masterpiece
          Dm             E
And maybe I had miles to drive
Am       G      F
And promises to keep
             Dm          E
You ditch it all to stay alive
F          G      Am
A Thousand Kisses Deep


[Instrumental]
Am  E  Am    E  F  Am


[Chorus]
              Dm                E
And sometimes when the night is slow
Am          G        F
The wretched and the meek
          Dm                E
We gather up our hearts and go
F          G      Am
A Thousand Kisses Deep


[Verse 3]
            Am               E
Confined to sex, we pressed against
           Am
The limits of the sea
                    E
I saw there were no oceans left
Am        G         F
For scavengers like me
          Dm             E
I made it to the forward deck
Am            G       F
I blessed our remnant fleet
            Dm           E
And then consented to be wrecked
F          G      Am
A Thousand Kisses Deep


[Verse 4]
                                E
I’m turning tricks, I’m getting fixed
            Am
I’m back on Boogie Street
                                E
I guess they won’t exchange the gifts
              F
That you were meant to keep
          Dm                E
And quiet is the thought of you
Am          G      F
The file on you complete
            Dm           E
Except what we forgot to do
F          G      F
A Thousand Kisses Deep


[Instrumental]
Am  E  Am    E  F  Am


[Chorus]
              Dm                E
And sometimes when the night is slow
Am          G        F
The wretched and the meek
          Dm                E
We gather up our hearts and go
F          G      Am
A Thousand Kisses Deep


[Verse 5]
           Am                 E
The ponies run, the girls are young
             Am
The odds are there to beat
                               E
You win a while, and then it’s done
            F
Your little winning streak
             Dm     E
And summoned now to deal
         Am      G     F
With your invincible defeat
              Dm              E
You live your life as if it’s real
F          G      Am
A Thousand Kisses Deep
