The last time I saw Richard was Detroit in '68
ch]Em7[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch] [ch]A7[/ch
And he told me all romantics meet the same fate someday
ch]Em[/ch] [ch]Em7[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
Cynical and drunk and boring someone in some dark café
ch]G[/ch
You laugh he said you think you're immune
ch]Em7[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch] [ch]A7[/ch
Go look at your eyes they're full of moon
ch]Em[/ch] [ch]Em7[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
You like roses and kisses and pretty men to tell you all those pretty lies
ch]C[/ch] [ch]F[/ch
Pretty lies when you gonna realize they're only pretty lies
ch]G[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch] [ch]A7[/ch] [ch]D7[/ch
Only pretty lies just pretty lies
ch]G[/ch
He put a quarter in the Wurlitzer and he
ch]Em7[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch] [ch]A7[/ch
Pushed three buttons and the thing began to whirr
ch]Em[/ch] [ch]Em7[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch
And a bar maid came by in fishnet stockings and a bow tie
ch]G[/ch
And she said "Drink up now it's getting' on time to close"
ch]G[/ch
"Richard, you haven't really changed" I said
ch]Em7[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch] [ch]A7[/ch
It's just that now you're romanticizing some pain that's in your head
ch]Am[/ch] [ch]Em[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
You got tombs in your eyes but the songs you punched are dreaming
ch]C[/ch
Listen, they sing of love so sweet, love so sweet
ch]F[/ch
When you gonna get yourself back on your feet?
ch]G[/ch] [ch]Asus[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
Oh and love can be so sweet Love so sweet
ch]G[/ch
Richard got married to a figure skater
ch]A7[/ch
And he bought her a dishwasher and a coffee percolator
ch]Em[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch
And he drinks at home now most nights with the TV on
ch]G[/ch
And all the house lights left up bright
ch]G[/ch
I'm gonna blow this damn candle out
ch]Em7[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch
I don't want nobody comin' over to my table I got nothing to talk to anybody about
ch]Em[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch
All good dreamers pass this way some day
ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
Hidin' behind bottles in dark cafes, dark cafes
ch]F[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
Only a dark cocoon before I get my gorgeous wings and fly away
ch]Am[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]Asus[/ch
Only a phase these dark café days
