Capo 2
C
I will confess to you
G F
because you made me think about the times
C Am
you turn the picture on to me and I'll turn over
D G
the vision was a masterpiece of comic timing
F C
but you wouldn't laugh at all
Csus4 Csus4/B Am
and I wonder what the boy was thinking
D G
the picture was an old collage of something classical
F C
the model with a tragic air
Csus4/D C/E F
because without a doubt he'd given up the fight
G C
the ghost of somebody at his side
C
I will confess to you
G F
Because I didn't think about the message
C Am
As I walked down the alleyway, it was a Sunday
D G
All my friends deserted me because you painted me
F C
As the fraud I really was
Csus4 Csus4/B Am
And if you think you see with just your eyes you're mad
D G
Lisa learned a lot from putting on a blindfold
F C
When she knew she had been bad
Csus4/D C/E F
She met another blind kid at a fancy dress
G C
It was the best sex that she ever had
C
I'll send a dress to you
G F
Because it's needing badly taken in
C Am
I was so embarrassed that I missed your party
D G
It was me that paid for it eventually
F C
Because you know how much I wanted
Csus4 Csus4/B Am
To meet your friend the star of stage and local press
D G
The dream of all the bowlie kids that hang around here
F C
I'm no different from the rest
Csus4 C/E
I'm not too proud to say that I'm okay
F G C
With the girl next door who's famous for showing her chest
C
You're not impressed by me
G F
But it's a funny way for you to tell me
C
A whisper in a choir stall
Am D G
The man was talking about you simultaneously
F C
Frankly, I let my heavy eyelids flutter
Csus4 Csus4/B Am
Because I have been sleeping badly lately
D G
I know you were historical from all the books I've read
F C
I thought you could be bluffing
Csus4/D C/E
And with this chance I've missed, I feel remiss
F G C
It's days and months before I'll see you again
