Capo 4 

Intro: C G C G C G Am Em  

C                           G 
We imagined ourselves as cathedral bells 
        C                         G 
Ringing out through the moribund streets 
      C                           G 
Like shrill courtesans, making fanciful plans 
         Am                         Em  
That we whispered while drifting to sleep 
       C                           G 
And I told you I'd stay in every possible way 
          C                           G 
Though we both knew that that wasn't true 
          C                  
You said you'd would understand 
               G 
If it was for something so grand 
         Am                    Em  
As this mirrored reflection of you 
        C                    G  
And New York in October was never so sober 
        C                         G 
As the beating on the windows in March 
        C                       G  
Trying so hard in vain to stay out of the rain 
        Am                 Em  
Falling off our cathedral arch 

C G C G C G Am Em 
          C                       G  
You were Zelda, Isolde, and you were Audrey and Kate 
         C                 G 
You were Miss Cleopatra in heels 
       C                    G 
Then anonymously, you were April to me 
          Am                       Em  
Throwing rocks just to see how it feels 
           C                            G 
But those lines in your eyes and that platinum crown 
          C                        G 
And that gaudy red rouge on your cheeks 
             C                        G 
You must've looked so divine to some neophyte trying 
          Am                          Em  
But you looked like a common whore to me 
       C                                  G 
But I liked you the best when you were a plain simple mess 
          C                       G 
Drinking wine from a pink plastic cup 
          C                  G  
While the radio played some soft serenade 
        Am                    Em  
And we noticed the sun coming up 
         C                             G  
And the blue in your eyes looked like ice when you cried 
         C                       G  
You were always so cold when we touched 
       C                      G  
Happy birthday to you, I sure hope it's untrue 
     Am                           Em  
Even though I don't miss you that much
