E   G#m        A              E
Oh, Genevieve, this town is a guillotine
G#m                C#m                     A         B
Sharp tongues like blades so mean they can bleed you blue
E         G#m               A                        E
All those neighborhood boys just want to get in your corduroys
G#m                        C#m                   A         B
I can't blame 'em but they miss the point with a girl like you
B       C#m
Oh, oh, Genevieve

A E

[Verse 2]
E         G#m        A                  E
Hey there Genevieve, you never had much use for me
G#m               C#m               A         B
But I'll keep you company until the ambulance comes
E             G#m             A                        E
Cruel maps of railroad scars, along the tracks of your pretty arms
G#m                 C#m                 A               B
How the hell did it get so hard just to take life as it comes
B      C#m
Oh, oh Genevieve

A E

B         C#m
Oh, sweet Genevieve

A E

[Bridge]
G#m       C#m
No, don't do it
      A                  E
Don't climb your bedroom walls
G#m        C#m
Don't rise to it
              A                 E
'Cause you're smarter than them all
      G#m    C#m
And I always knew it
             A               E
I just never had the guts to call
  A               E
I hung up once or twice
   A               E
My fingers cold as ice
      A             E
And I left you all alone
       A                E
On the dark side of the phone

[Verse 3]
E           G#m            A                       E
Hey Gen you know some day, we oughta cut class and run away
G#m                C#m          A          B
Hop a Greyhound to Montreal and start us a band
E              G#m                     A              E
I can sing and play guitar and you can scream all the pretty parts
G#m                      C#m             A       B
Cross your fingers those city dogs don't tear us apart
A      B
Oh, oh Genevieve
A         E
Oh, sweet Genevieve

[Otro]
G#m           C#m                  A        E
Come on, hold on to me
A        E
My sweet Genevieve
