Christopher Lydon

G   Am   G   Am

[Verse 1]
G                           Am
Clutching the phone 'til my hands were sore
G                  Am
I never understood pain before, Christopher
G                        Am
You cannot know what it does to me
G                            F     Am
hearing You speak with this frequency

[Verse 2]
G                      Am
I never knew what one voice could do
G                   Am
I was in heaven the moment I heard You!
    G                           Am
My friends go out drinking and having fun -
G                      F         Am
I stay in bed with my headphones on

[Pre-Chorus 1]
G                          Am
shot down with arrows from waves above
G                   F          Am
Christopher Lydon renounced my love

[Verse 3]
G                      Am
it took so long to get through to You
Continues after the ad
G                   Am
I never understood sorrow, and now I do
G                        Am
I finally got past Your moniter,
G                              F       Am
and You broke my heart in two, Christopher

[Chorus]
Am                      G
Christopher, I am Your listener, Christopher,
C                          E
i've never felt love like this before, Christopher,
F                       Am
Christopher, now and forevermore, Christopher
E                                            F  Am  E
i'll never stop saying Christopher, Christopher

[Verse 4]
G                      Am
finally I knew what I had to do
G                    Am
I had to make the connection with You
        G                        Am
I don't care if You're old and incontinent
G                       F       Am
I will be Yours 'til the bitter end.

[Verse 5 - partly spoken]
    G                   Am
so during a show about joan of arc
             G                                       Am
I got through - i said: "Christopher Lydon, You've stolen my heart"
        G                          Am
when I asked if You felt the same way for me
G                      F      Am
You cut me off like a guillotine

[Pre-Chorus 2]
 G                      Am
drawn like a bull to a matador-
G                      Am
I just see visions of Christopher
G                          Am
shot down by arrows from waves above
G                     F        Am
Christopher Lydon renounced my love

[Final-Chorus]
Am                      G
Christopher, I was Your prisoner, Christopher,
C                          E
I hope You're happy now chistopher
                F                       Am
thank You for everything but I'm not listening anymore
E
nor do I plan to contribute to NPR!
F                        Am       E
Christopher - beautiful Christopher.
E                          F         Am
I'm the girl You've been waiting for.
