Rereading The Marble Faun

B       F#      Ebm7    E       
The lecture halls we filled in 
   C#m
the Fall fell through.
B       F#      Ebm7    E       
The pedagogue in me asked, "What
   C#m
 have you read lately?"
B       F#      Ebm7    E
A pleasantry the blonde in you 
responded to...
[Chorus]
Ebm7        C#m       Abm        
You won't go into the half of it,
 B       A     E
 so I'm going to
Ebm7        C#m           B     
nitpick.   The exegesis comes 
            A       E
quick to whoever's less sorry now.
B           F#              Em (low)
I've forgotten you've a right to be 
rotten
B           F#              Em (low)
With the killer instincts of an old 
flame who's slain you.
B       C#m     Ebm7            Em 
(high)
I just finished the book, and some 
of it's true.

[Verse 2]
B       F#      Ebm7    E       
Disgusted by the rust on a voice
   C#m
 that you never use...
B       F#      Ebm7    E       
How could you expect your Jesuit
   C#m
 sect to play here?

B       F#      Ebm7    E
The fake book dates back to Iberia.

[Chorus]
Ebm7        C#m       Abm        
You won't go into the half of it,
 B       A     E

[Verse 3]
B       F#      Ebm7    E       
What will you burn for warmth? 
   C#m
Will you keep a husband this season?
B       F#      Ebm7    E       
Who could take you on?
   C#m

B       F#      Ebm7    E
Itinerant as the day is long...

[Chorus]
Ebm7        C#m       Abm        
You won't go into the half of it,
