[Verse 1]
[F]With your
[C]Irish gypsy [Dm]face
[F]Your silver [C]spoons and your
[Gsus4]velvet ra[C]zor bl[G]ades[C]
Oh, lover, [F]you pulled the
[Gsus4]wool right over my [C]face
[F]But didn't it fee[Gsus4]l like
iris [G]-less?[Gsus4][G]
[Am]So many times I wa[F]nted
just to lay beside [C]you
[G]So [Am]many times you turn[F]ed
and rolled [C]away[G][E]
[Am]Those times that [F]lovers make for [C]sleeping
[G]If [C]there were friends around
to keep you [G]up
[Gsus4]You'd alw[G]ays slip awa[F]y
[C]Lonely, but [F]never quite alone
[C]It's ama[F]zing that we [G]can
[F]make it an[G]other [C]day[F]
I mis[C]took your smile for [Dm]love
[F]I leave my eyes to t[C]he ones before
[Gsus4]That it really was[G][C]
Oh, lover, [F]you know you
[Gsus4]broke my heart in thr[C]ee
[Dm]Once for you [C]and [F]once for the kid
[C]And the fin[F]al tim[G]e was me[C][Am]
Yes, I've [F]seen you while
you're [C]sleeping[G]
[Am]And I've seen [F]your silent
[C]nights[Am][E]
[Am]Sometimes talking
[F]but really never spe[Gsus4]aking[G]
[C]It's a [G]wonder [C]to me now
[G]Why anybody even tries
Like [F]a silence
[C]That [Gsus4]keeps screaming[F] all the time[C]
It's a [F]wonder that [C]we
[F]haven't [G]lost our [C]minds
[F]Once a lover [Em]thought the [C]world of [Dm]me
[F]She scared me with [C]her hatred
But you [G]broke me for a treat
[C]Oh lover
[F]You took yoursel[G]f so ser[Gsus4]iously[C]
[F]Who'd eve[Gsus4]r believe
[G]you'd really leave
What a [Gsus4]way to leave[G]
[Am]One more love [F]and no one dead to s[C]ave
[G]A s[Am]tatistic who just left[F]
without a [G]trace[C][Am]
[E]Too [Am]scared to stic[F]k around and say[C][G]
[C]But I always had enough
Had [G]enough to throw away
Like a [F]memento in [C]an attic
[G]From an[F]other time and [C]place
Like a [F]wreck that [C]once was
[F]Made of
[G]Irish
[C]Lace
Like a [F]rag that once [C]was
[F]Made [G]of
Irish
[C]Lace
Like a [F]rag [G]that once was
[F]Made [G]of
Irish
[C]Lace[F][C]
