Evil Quarter Mile

Intro  C/G

       C/G                         
On the Evil Quarter Mile they have 
Am
many words for love
    Em                       
Not all of them are just four 
         G
letters either
    C/G                          
You only knew the one but it was 
Am
safe upon your tongue
          Em                       
'Till you swallowed it and 
            G
whispered 'now it's over'

            Am                   
All of your different intonations 
          Em
required expert explanations
   F                               
It still all sounds so foreign to 
  G
me now

    Am
But before you take your aim
       Em
I will admit I was to blame
       F                           
But permit me if you will this 
  G
final vow


     C/G                      Am
That I cannot forgive you
                        Em
I can't forgive you
                    G
I won't forgive you for
                   C/G
letting me let you go
                          Am
I can't forgive you
                        Em
I can't forgive you
                    G
I won't forgive you for
                   C/G
letting me let you go

           C/G             
All of the millionaires and 
                  Am
billionaires who stroll through 
Holland Park
            Em                     
They had no time for us and me not 
         G
for them either
      C/G                          
You informed me as you combed your 
          Am
hair, The BBC had put you there
       Em                      
At the top of the spiral stairs 
       G
'till Easter

              Am
I watched the Holy Father's slow 
parade
Em
Down The Mall it threatened rain
   F                           
As helicopters swirled into the 
 G
ether
         Am
You were sick outside a Mayfair bar
     Em
Your taxi didn't get that far
     F                         
Down one-way streets that won't 
              G
out-run your fever


    C/G                      Am
And I cannot forgive you
                        Em
I can't forgive you
                    G
I won't forgive you for
                   C/G
letting me let you go
                          Am
I can't forgive you
                        Em
I can't forgive you
                    G
I won't forgive you for
                   C/G
letting me let you go


C/G
My confession confused you
Am
Like it was designed to do
Em
Everything I said that's true
G
Concealed a lie
C/G
You watered every bruise with tears
Am
Flooded through the happy years
Em                      G
Ran alone but still you feared you'd
 finish last

Am                                
I won't try to defend my pride or 
Em
resurrect what's clearly died
   F                 G
Or subject you to my advances
  Am
I won't try myself to explain
   Em
It couldn't deaden any pain
        F                          
And you never did believe in second
 G
 chances


   C/G                      Am
And I cannot forgive you
                        Em
I can't forgive you
                    G
I won't forgive you for
                   C/G
letting me let you go
                          Am
I can't forgive you
                        Em
I can't forgive you
                    G
I won't forgive you for
                   C/G
letting me let you go
