Intro: D


D                G              
No one wants to hear about your 
Em    G
97th tear,
             Bm             G
so dry your eyes or let it go
           A                Em    
uncried, my dear. I am all out of 
         G            A           
love to mouth into your ear, and 
     Em
not above
           G         A            
letting a love song disappear 
     Em           Em* G* A*
before it's written.
          D              G        
    And no one wants a tune about 
    Em        G
the 100th luftballoon that was seen
Bm                  G         
shooting from the window of your 
    A             Em              
room, to be a spot against the 
  G
sky's
        A                   Em    
colossal gloom and land, deflated,
           G                  A
 in some neighbor state that's 
strewn with
   Em         Em  G  A
99 others.




  Em               A         
     8 Chinese brothers; well, 
             D              A  
there's a reason why the last is 
              Em
smiling wide
             G              A
and sitting higher than the others,
               Em          G A
swinging his arms.

D                G              
You would probably die before 
Em    G
you shot up 9 miles high
         Bm             G         
Your eyes dilated as light played 
         A
upon the sight
 Em             G            A
Of TVC16 as it sings you goodnight
 Em            G               
Relaxed as hell and locked up in 
   A
cell 45
Em                        Em  G  A
I hope you're feeling better



Em               A
51st way to leave your lover
 D              A                
Admittedly, it doesn't seem to be
Em                G              
 as gentle or as clean as all the 
A
others
 Em                                
Even a scars all in the after hours
                             G A
 of some Greenpoint bar



D                           G    
I told you, I can't listen, baby,
          Em                  G
 'bout the 4th time you were a lady
             Bm             G     
and how your forthrightness 
             A
betrayed a secret shyness
Em                       G  
Stripped away by days of being 
                   A
hailed as "your highness"
               Em            G    
And what's new pussycat, as you 
              A
were once a lionness
Em                   Em G  A
They cut your claws out



D            G              
Kitten, not everyone's keen on 
Em                  G
lighting candle 17,
             Bm             G  
the party's done, the cake's all 
                   A
gone, the plates are clean
                Em              
The chauffeur's leering from the 
 G             A
cheerless mezzanine
                Em             G  
And in just one year, this 
                A
straight world could pay to see
Em                        Em  G  A
what they have been missing


Em                                
You were caught kissing 8 chinese 
   A
brothers
                 D              A 
Well, there's a reason why the 
               Em               
last is smiling wide and sitting 
 G              A
higher than the others
Em               G A
Stinking with charm



Em                             
And he says, "Lets get lost, let 
                  A
them send out alarms
Em                                
He says, "Let's get crossed out 
          A
and come to harm"
Em                             
"Lets make the world's stupidest 
               A
stand and truly mean it
Em                            
Lets hit the limit of loss over 
       A
lover's arms
Em
No, lets exceed it"
