Intro: Bm7 Bm7 G7 G7 G7 G7 G7
Verse 1:
When they bBm7eat on a bG7roken guitar
And on the Bm7streets they reek of G7tropical charms
The embassBm7ies lie in G7hideous shards
Where tA#7ourists snore and A7decay
Verse 2:
When they dBm7ance in a G7reptile blaze
You wear a Bm7mask an eqG7uatorial haze
Into the Bm7past a coG7lonial maze
Where there's A#7no more confetti to A7throw
Chorus 1:
G#m7 You didn't C#7know what to say to youG#m7rself
Love is a pC#7overty you couldn't sF#m7ell
B7 Misery waiting in vague E7hotels....
To bG7e eF#7victed....
Instrumental Break 1: Bm7 Bm7 G7 G7 G7 G7 G7

Verse 3:
You're out of Bm7luck you're singing G7funeral songs
To the Bm7studs they're anaG7bolic and bronze
They seem to Bm7strut in their miG7llennial fogs
Til they A#7fall down and A7deflate
Chorus 2:
G#m7 You didn't C#7know what to say to youG#m7rself
Love is a pC#7overty you couldn't sF#m7ell

Verse 4:
Bm7Oh and G7now you've had your Bm7fun
Under an G7air-conditioned Bm7sun
It's G7burned into your Bm7eyes
Leaves you G7plain and left Bm7behind
I G7see them eyes and Bm7fall
Into the A7jaws of a pestilentG#7 love
Chorus 3:
G#m7 You didn't C#7know what to say to youG#m7rself
Love is a pC#7overty you couldn't sF#m7ell
B7 Misery waiting in vague E7hotels....
To bG7e eF#7victed....
