 D                   Bm            F#m              Bm       A7
Red from start to end and we can't hold the feelings which are crossing the brain
 D         Bm                 F#m            A7
strips the cord of a sensible world what's worse?
D             Bm        F#m        Bm                   A7
she left her mark indelible oh the nature of a scripted curse
 D        Bm               F#m            A7
kissed my eyes sat on the bed and then said

           G              D

 D           Bm              F#m         Bm       A7
blamed in advance for the past with no bearing on a present tense
 D            Bm              F#m                A7
all that slack the things that she made when she said
 D            Bm           F#m            Bm           A7   
oh dear someday I'm going to be Someone better, picture person me
 D          Bm                  F#m           A7
but 'til then we'll call it the end and she asked


                  G                D
frankly dear, the drifters had it right
                G                 Bm
stayed the afternoon and left at night
                G              Em      
even though we have to say goodbye

keep me in mind

keep me in mind
 Em   A7     Bm  Em
