C G


[Verse 1]

C     G/B         Am               F
Lily, I don't know how to start this letter
C          G/B            Am             F
I'm writing you from the beach where I'm living
C       G/B       Am        F    
I got a disco outside of my window
C                      G
I love all these kids, but the good times are killing me


C       G/B        Am           F
I got a picture of you on the dashboard
C         G/B             Am             F
So I can feel like you're watching right over me
C          G/B              Am           F
I hope someday you're gonna move to the city
           C                              G 
Cause the lights in this town, they don't brighten up anything


[Chorus]

Am        F        C              G     Am            F        C            G
And they say such foolish things, like "Love, love, love, love is all you need"
Am             F                 C             G            F         G
But everything inside is saying 'Danger, baby, love's gonna leave'
                 C            G/B    Am     
So I played your sympathy
    F          C         G/B        Am      
Have mercy on me
F             C            G/B            Am            F         C                          G           
Cause I been hurt, I been stung, by the good name of love, 'til I threw my own heart in the sea
N.C.                    C        G/B     Am       F      
Among other foolish things

C Em Am F


[Verse 2]

C           G/B      Am              F
And I don't mind the nights and the low light
C         G/B         Am            F
We spin 'round like records in the apartment
C         G/B           Am           F
You still remind me of Marianne Faithfull
C                            G           
Lookin' like a picture taken outta the '60s


[Chorus]

Am        F        C              G     Am            F        C            G
And they say such foolish things, like "Love, love, love, love is all you need"
Am             F                 C             G            F         G
But everything inside is saying 'Danger, baby, love's gonna leave'
                 C            G/B    Am     
So I played your sympathy
    F          C         G/B        Am      
Be patient with me
F             C            G/B            Am            F         C                          G           
Cause I been hurt, I been stung, by the good name of love, 'til I threw my own heart in the sea
N.C.                    C        G/B     Am       F      
Among other foolish things

[Outro]

Am     F             C       G            Am         F            C        G
And we believe such foolish things, like 'Love love love, love is all we need'
    Am              F          C           G        F     G
And living would be easy if we never ever had to bleed
         C       G/B         Am            F   
And I've taken a dive on a smoky set of eyes
   C        Em              Am            F
I been so deceived and I've been the one lyin'
    C              G/B             Am        F       C       G
And there was this one time when I painted a masterpiece
                       C
Among other foolish things
