Reading Days

E                                 
On the fainting couch, that's 
   A             B             A
Monica flare for the dramatic oh, so
 it goes
E
and in the kitchen there, that's 
Leonore
A            B                   
who I adore, whether I should or 
         A
not well I don't know

[Chorus]
E               C#m
and reading the Marquise of O
       B                  E
on the balcony, that's me

[Instrumental]
E A

[Verse]
E                           A    
Walking in the garden, with 
             E
Penelope she says "you may kiss me 
now,
   A
no one will see"

[Bridge]
          G#m                   
I say "my heart is another's and 
      A
that makes me free
                 G#m               
besides I have a hard-won faith in 
    A
the eternal Sophie
                   G#m           
you think I'd just throw it away, 
              A
for a little TLC?"
                C#m           B
and reading the Answer to Job has 
been good for me

E            F#m         
I was just a narcissist, a 
B              A                 
solipsist, a fantasist in that 
E         F#m         A
old house down by the sea
                G#m
and reading the Marquise of O
       A                  E
on the balcony, that's me
