^GThe last time I saw Richard was Detroit in '68 And he t^Amold me all romantics meet the same fate someday Cynical and drunk and boring someone in some ^Gdark café

You laugh he said you think you're immune

Go ^Amlook at your eyes they're full of moon You like roses and kisses and pretty men to tell you ^Gall those pretty lies Pretty ^Clies when you gonna realize they're only ^Fpretty lies Only ^Gpretty lies just ^Ampretty lies

[Verse]

^GHe put a quarter in the Wurlitzer and he ^AmPushed three buttons and the thing began to whirr

And a bar maid came by in fishnet stockings and a bow tie

And she said "^GDrink up now it's getting' on time to close" "Richard, you haven't really changed" I said It’s just that ^Amnow you're romanticizing

some pain that's in your head You got tombs in your eyes but the songs you punched are dreaming

Listen, they sing of ^Glove so sweet, love so ^Csweet When you gonna get yourself back on your f^Feet? Oh and l^Gove can be so sweet Love so ^Amsweet

[Verse]

R^Gichard got married to a figure skater And he b^Amought her a dishwasher and a coffee percolator

And he drinks at home now most nights with the TV on

And all the ^Ghouse lights left up bright I'm gonna blow this damn candle out I don’t want ^Amnobody comin' over to my table

I got nothing to talk to anybody about All good dreamers pass this way some day

Hidin' behind ^Gbottles in dark cafes, dark ^Ccafes Only a dark cocoon before I get my ^Fgorgeous wings and fly ^Gaway Only a phase these ^Amdark café days ^G ^Bm ^G ^A
