[Verse 1]
C G/B Am F
Lily, I don't know how to start this letter
C G/B Am F
I'm writing you from the beach where I'm living
C G/B Am F
I got a disco outside of my window
C G
I love all these kids, but the good times are killing me
C G/B Am F
I got a picture of you on the dashboard
C G/B Am F
So I can feel like you're watching right over me
C G/B Am F
I hope someday you're gonna move to the city
C G
Cause the lights in this town, they don't brighten up anything
[Chorus]
Am F C G Am F C G
And they say such foolish things, like "Love, love, love, love is all you need"
Am F C G F G
But everything inside is saying 'Danger, baby, love's gonna leave'
C G/B Am
So I played your sympathy
F C G/B Am
Have mercy on me
F C G/B Am F C G
Cause I been hurt, I been stung, by the good name of love, 'til I threw my own heart in the sea
N.C. C G/B Am F
Among other foolish things
C Em Am F
[Verse 2]
C G/B Am F
And I don't mind the nights and the low light
C G/B Am F
We spin 'round like records in the apartment
C G/B Am F
You still remind me of Marianne Faithfull
C G
Lookin' like a picture taken outta the '60s
[Chorus]
Am F C G Am F C G
And they say such foolish things, like "Love, love, love, love is all you need"
Am F C G F G
But everything inside is saying 'Danger, baby, love's gonna leave'
C G/B Am
So I played your sympathy
F C G/B Am
Be patient with me
F C G/B Am F C G
Cause I been hurt, I been stung, by the good name of love, 'til I threw my own heart in the sea
N.C. C G/B Am F
Among other foolish things
[Instrumental]
C Em Am F (x2)
C G
[Outro]
Am F C G Am F C G
And we believe such foolish things, like 'Love love love, love is all we need'
Am F C G F G
And living would be easy if we never ever had to bleed
C G/B Am F
And I've taken a dive on a smoky set of eyes
C Em Am F
I been so deceived and I've been the one lyin'
C G/B Am F C G
And there was this one time when I painted a masterpiece
C
Among other foolish things
