D - Am - Em
EmI'm so far away from you
DPacing up and down my room
AmDoes Jesus only love a man who Emloses?
EmI turn on the radio
DThere's some cat on the saxophone
AmLaying down a litany of Emexcuses
EmThere's madhouse longing in my baby's eyes
DShe rubs the lamp between her thighs
AmAnd hopes the genie comes out Emsinging
EmShe lives in some forgotten song
DAnd moves like she is zombie-strong
AmBreathes steady as the pendulum keeps Emswinging
D - D - Em
EmYou better hold on to yourseDlf Em

D - Am - Em
EmWell, cities rust and fall to ruin
DFactories close and cars go cruisin'
AmIn around the borders of her Emvision
EmShe says ooh
As DJesus makes the flowers grow
AmAll around the scene of her collEmision
You know I wouDld, D yes, I wouldEm
EmI would Dhold on to Emyourself

D - Am - Em
In the middle of the night
I try my best to chase outside
The phantoms and the ghosts and fairy-girls
On 1001 nights like these
She mutters open sesame and Ali Baba and his forty thieves
Launch her off the face of the world
You know one day I'll come back and I'd hold on to yourself
To yourself, I'd hold on to yourself
Ooh baby, I'm a 1000 miles away
And I just don't know what to say
Cause Jesus only loves a man who bruises
But darling, we can clearly see
It's all life and fire and lunacy
And excuses and excuses and excuses
Well, you know if I could, I would
I'd lie right down and I'd hold on to yourself
Yeah, I would lie right down and I would hold on to yourself
One day I'll come back to you and I'd hold on to yourself
Yeah, I'm gonna come back, gonna lie down
And I would hold on to yourself
Yeah, to yourself
