D                 F                  G            D
I had my dream I held your hand on that broad avenue
We crossed the road and never spoke to another
as we flew
We left your man alone in drag, laughin' there
at us
A romantic bust, a blunder turned explosive
blunderbuss

D                  F                 G          D
An ancient grand hotel of Persian thread and ivory
D                        F                 G
And when your man would turn his head I'd see
             D
you look at me
D                   C              G
Pools of brown and sea of red and demons in
      D
your pocket
D                  C                   G
That same romance performed a dance inside your
        D
silver locket

D                 C              G
Corner exit, not tall enough to walk out
            D
standin' straight
Designed by men so ladies would have to lean
back in their gait
You grabbed my arm and left with me but you
were not allowed to
You took me to a public place to quietly blend into

D                F                 G
Such a trick pretending not to be doing what you
 D
want to do
D                    F             G
But seems like everybody does this every
        D
waking moment

I laid you down and touched you like the two
of us both needed
Safe to say that others might not approve of
this and pleaded
"So selfish, them" would be their cry and who'd
be brave to argue
Doin' what two people need is never on the menu
