[Verse 1]
[C]I'm going on a dat[Dm]e ton[C]ight
To try to [F]fall [Dm]out of love with [C]you

do

[Verse 2]
My love, you're in [Dm]a magazine[F][C]
My love, you're doing [Dm]fine,
you're [Am]on TV[Dm]
[C]You pull my heart out and
then [Dm]you run a[C]way
From Chicago to Clev[Dm]eland,
you made me [C]pay
[Dm]You made me pay
[C][F]

[Verse 3]
[C]
When you're lucid,
you're the [Dm]sweetest [C]thing
I would trade my mother [Dm]to
hear [F]you sing[C]
When you're lucid,
you're [Dm]the sweetest [C]thing
I would trade my [Dm]mother

[Verse 4]
[C]On the bus [Dm]radio[Am][C]
"Fifty ways to [Dm]leave your lover alone"
[C]I laughed at the iro[Dm]ny
[C]But life is stupid,
the [Dm]irony all lost on [C]me
[Dm]It got lost on me
[C][F]

[Verse 5]
[C]When you're lucid,
you're the [Dm]sweetest [C]thing
I would trade my [Dm]mother to
hear [F]you sing[C]
When you're lucid,
you're the [Dm]sweetest [C]thing
I would trade my [Dm]mother

[Verse 6]
You challenged me to [Dm]write
a love [C]song
Here it is, [Dm]I think I got it[F] wrong
[C]I focused on [Dm]the negat[C]ive
The pain was too [Dm]much of [Am]an
in[F]cent[C] iv[Dm]e
Always my [C]in cent[F]ive

[Verse 7]
[C]
When you're lucid,
you're the [Dm]sweetest [C]thing
I would trade my [Dm]mother to
hear you [C]sing
When you're lucid you're
[Dm]the sweetest [C]thing
I would trade my mother [Dm]to
hear you [C]sing

[Verse 8]
When you're lucid, you're [Dm]the
sweetest [C]thing
I would trade my [Dm]mother to
[Am]hear [C]you sing
When you're lucid,
you're the [Dm]sweetest [C]thing
I would trade my [Dm]mother

[Verse 9]
But [C]she don't [Dm]know just
[C]how far I'd [F]go
Would I [C]walk for a hundred [Dm]miles
For a [C]glimpse of your northern smile?
