[Intro 1]

[Am]

[Verse 1]
[D]We're
once retaught in [Am]confidence
We [D]now shall [G]hide in fear
[Am]And the futu[D]re we imagined[Am] then
is [D]not quite so [G]perfectly clear
[Am]And the conv[C]ict girl[D]s in
the [G]frilly white [Am]tights
And the chor[C]us girls [D]with
their [G]names up in [Am]lights
And the [C]battle [D]bells were [G]shimmering [Am]white,
were shimmering [D]white[G][Am]
I'll [D]build a shrine within [Am]my mind
To [D]their image I [G]will [Am]succumb
Every [D]single face that [Am]drew my breath
Every [D]look that [G]struck [Am]me dumb
And the [C]common [D]girls in their
[G]pretty white tight[Am]s
[C]Are beyond me [D]now, oh,
the [G]mothers and [Am]wives
And the [C]chances come
[D]only onc[G]e in your life
[Am]But they'll make[G] you think twice[Csus4]
[C]I said, now w[G]ho owns that mansion
That you're [C]comin' for,
that you're [D]comin' for
And [G]who's your companion
Now the [C]summer's gone,
now the [D]summer's gone
Are [Bb]we all pretend stu[F]pids
With anyone [G]I'm loved
[Gm]Are we a[Bb]ll pretend stup[F]ids
Is it anyone I [G]know?[Am][C][D][Am]
[D]
[Am]And the common g[C]irls[D]
In their [G]pretty white [Am]tights
Are be[C]hind me now
[D]Oh, the mothers[G] and wives
[Am]And the chan[C]ces come,
[D]only onc[G]e in your lif[Am]e
But they'll [G]make you think [C]twice
[Csus4][C][Csus4]
[C]They'll make you think [F]twice[C][Csus4][F][C][Csus4]
[C][Csus4][F][C][Csus4][C][Bb][F][C]
[F][C][Csus4][F][C]
You
