Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Em][D][G][Em]

[Verse 1]
[Em]She came r[B]unning d[Em]own the [B]highway,
[Am]na ked as the su[Em]n
Said she [B]are [Em]you going my way po[Am]et,
fool or [Em]bum
Red hair had she, saw right through me,
[D]but what could she [Em]see?
A poet? No,
A fool? I hope not. [Bm]A bum?
[Am]No... I'm only me
[Em]

[Verse 2]
When her left hand touched the water
[Am]fire and smoke did [Em]come
Laughing like some virgin's daugh[B]ter,
[Am]said she run for [Em]run.
Freedom sleeps in caves where dreams
are [D]just in dreams we're [Em]free
A poet? No,
A fool? I hope not. [Bm]A bum?
[Am]No... I'm only me
[Em]

[Verse 3]
Interlude [Am]with humming:
Lee says something here I
can't under[Em]stand

[Verse 4]
[Em]Put her cruel lips to a bottle,
[Am]label Christmas [Em]Day
Said she everyday is Christmas,
[Am]drink some while you [Em]may.
Touched the bottle,
broke into the [D]cross of cal[Em]vary
A poet? No,
A fool? I hope not. [Bm]A bum?
[Am]No... I'm only me

[Interlude 1]
[Am][B][Em]

[Verse 5]
[Em]Then she gave me toy soldiers,
[Am]bright and shiny [Em]new.
Take them, said she, to the children,
[Am]they'll know what to [Em]do.
Soon their games of madness
will be[D]come real[Em]ity
A poet? No,
A fool? I hope not. [Bm]A bum?
[Am]No... I'm only me

[Interlude 2]
[Em][Am]
[Em]

[Verse 6]
[Em]Said she'd take me to the morning
[Am]rains my soul's on [Em]fire
I said morning rains I've heard
will [Am]wash away de[Em]sire
She grew angry wings and left
in [D]circled [Em]finity
A poet? No,
A fool? I hope not. A [Bm]bum?
[Am]No... I'm only [Em]me[Bsus4][Am]
No... I'm only [Em]me
[Am]No... I'm only me
[Em]
