[Verse 1]
[C]Lily, I don't know [Am]how to start this letter
[C]I'm writing you from the [Am]beach where I'm living
[C]I got a disco out[Am]side of my window
[Fmaj7]I love[/] a[F]ll these kids, but the [G]good times are killing me
[C]I got a picture of [Am]you on the dashboard
[C]So I can feel like you'[Am]re watching right over me
[C]I hope someday you're gonn[Am]a move to the city
[Fmaj7]Cause [/]th[F]e lights in this town, they don't [G]brighten up anything
[Refrain]
[Am]And they s[F]ay such f[C]oolish things, [G]like "[Am]Love, love, lo[F]ve, love [C]is all you ne[G]ed"
[Am]But everything [F]inside is saying '[C]Danger, baby, [G]love's gonna [Fmaj7]leave'[G]
So I played your sympathy ( Voc.: Sym-pat[C]h-y [G], hav[F]e mercy on me (BV: Have Mer[C]-cy)[G][F]
Cause I been [Am]hurt, I been s[F]tung, by the g[C]ood name of l[G]ove, 't[Am]il I [F]threw my own [C]heart in the s[G]ea...
Among other foolish thing[C]s
[Verse 2]
[C]And I don't mind the [Am]nights and the low light
[C]We spin 'round like r[Am]ecords in the apartment
[C]You still remind me of [Am]Marianne Faithfull
[Fmaj7]Lookin[/]' [F]like a picture taken o[G]utta the '60s
[Refrain]
[Am]And we [F]say such [C]foolish t[G]hings, like '[Am]Love love l[F]ove, love[C] is all we ne[G]ed'
But [Am]everything in[F]side is saying, "[C]Danger, baby, l[G]ove's gonna [Fmaj7]leave"[G]
So I played your sympathy (BV: S[C]ym-p[G]ath-y[F]) , be patient with me (BV: H[C]ave [G]Mer-[F]cy)
Cause I been [Am]hurt, I been s[F]tung, by the g[C]ood name of l[G]ove, 't[Am]il I [F]threw my own [C]heart in the s[G]ea...
Among other foolish thing[C]s

[Am]And we [F]believe s[C]uch fooli[G]sh things, li[Am]ke 'Love lo[F]ve love, [C]love is all w[G]e need'
And [Am]living would be [F]easy if we [C]never ever h[G]ad to ble[Fmaj7]eeeee-eeee[G]d
And I've [Am]taken a d[F]ive on a s[C]moky set of l[G]ies
I b[Am]een so dec[F]eived and I've [C]been the one [G]lyin'
And there [Am]was this one t[F]ime when I [C]painted a ma[G]sterpiec[Fmaj7]e[G]
