Capo 1st Fret

INTRO
C | Dm | C | F (x4)

VERSE
[C]I'm going on a [Dm]date tonight
[C] To try to fall [F]out of love with [C]you
I know, I know th[Dm]is is a crime
[C] But I don't know [F]what else to [C]do

C | Dm | C | F

My love, you're in a magazine
My love, you're doing fine, you're on TV
You pull my heart out and then you run away
From Chicago to Cleveland you leave me pain
[Dm] You leave me [C]pain[F]

CHORUS
[C]When you're lucid you're the [Dm]sweetest thing
[C] I would trade my [F]mother to hear you [C]sing
When you're lucid you're the [Dm]sweetest thing
[C] I would trade my [F]mother

VERSE
On the bus radio,
"Fifty ways to leave your lover alone"
I laughed at the irony
But life is stupid, the irony all lost on me
It got lost on me

(CHORUS)

INSTRUMENTAL
C | Dm | C | F (x2)

G | F | G | Am | Dm

VERSE
You challenged me to write a love song
Here it is, I think I got it wrong
I focused on the negative
The pain was too much to write and sing
Oh, it was not a nice incentive

CHORUS
When you're lucid you're the sweetest thing
I would trade my mother to hear you sing (X3)

When you're lucid you're the sweetest thing
I would trade my mother

But [C]she don't [Dm]know
Just [C]how far I'd [F]go
Would I [C]walk for a hundred [Dm]miles
for a [C]glimpse of your northern [F]smile?
