[Verse]
F E Fmaj7b5
They call you ecstasy,nothing ever sticks to you
FNot Velcro, not EScotch Tape
Fmaj7b5
Not my arms dipped in glue
Not if I wraFp myself in nylonE
Fmaj7b5
A piece of duct tape down my back
FLove pierced the arrow withE a 12
Fmaj7b5
And I can't get you back
[Chorus]
F E Fmaj7b5
Ah, ecstasy, ecstasy
F E Fmaj7b5
Ecstasy, ah, ecstasy
[Verse]
FAcross the streets an old FEord
Fmaj7b5
They took off its wheels, the engine is gone
FIn it seat sits a box E
Fmaj7b5
With a note that says, "Goodbye Charlie, thanks a lot"
I see a child thFrough a window with a biEb
Fmaj7b5
And I think of us and what we almost did
FThe Hudson rocketing with lighEt
Fmaj7b5
Ships pass the Statue of Liberty at night
[Chorus]
F E Fmaj7b5
Ah, ecstasy, ecstasy
F E Fmaj7b5
Ecstasy, ah, ecstasy
[Verse]
Some meFn call me St. IvorEy
Fmaj7b5
Some call me St. Maurice
I'm smootFh as alabasterE
Fmaj7b5
With white veins running through my cheeks
Big sFtud through my eyebrow E
Fmaj7b5
A scar on my arm that says, "Domain"
I put it Fover the tattoo E
Fmaj7b5
That contained your name
[Chorus]
F E Fmaj7b5
Ah, ecstasy, ecstasy
F E Fmaj7b5
Ecstasy, ah, ecstasy
[Verse]
The moon pFassing through a cloudE
Fmaj7b5
A body facing up is floating towards a crowd
And I tFhink of a time and what I couldn'Et do
Fmaj7b5
I couldn't hold you close, I couldn't become you
They call youF ecstasy
E Fmaj7b5
I can't hold you down, I can't hold you up
I fFeel like that car that I saEw today
Fmaj7b5
No radio, no engine, no hood
I'm going to the caFfe, I hope they've got Emusic there
Fmaj7b5
And I hope those guys can play
But if Fwe have to part
I'll have a new Escar right over my heart
Fmaj7b5
I'll call it ecstasy
[Chorus]
F E Fmaj7b5
Ah, ecstasy, ecstasy
F E Fmaj7b5
Ecstasy, ah, ecstasy
