Washington Square Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]On h[Em]er bi[Am]ggest[Em] wall,[Am]
she [Em]hung Warhol,
[Am]a wish[Em] that she had [Am]never used.[Em]
The last [Am]magazine where [Em]she was [Am]seen,
[Em]sold to a [Am]self -re[Em]fused.
[G]This lovely [D]one holds
an [Am]empty [Em]gun
And [C]swears it was done on a [Am]dare
[G]Now only [D]fears [Am]that her [Em]career
Is [C]damaged beyond re[Am]pair
Down on Washington Square
[Em][Am][Em]
Some [Am]agrees,
blows the [Em]shades off her win[Am]dow,
[Em]she stares on to [Am]7th Avenu[Em]e.
She sees a frosty father[Am],
[Em]out on the c[Am]orner,
try[Em]ing to sell h[Am]is point o[Em]f view.
[G]Out of [D]action, she [Am]tells her connection,
[Em]I need a fix, [C]this just isn't fair.
[Am]And he t[G]akes a walk [D]around
[Am]the bloc[Em]k
and [C]disappears into thin [Am]air,
into Washington [Em]Square.[Am][Em]
She reads [Am]every page of [Em]Vogue magazine,
[Am]studies [Em]every singl[Am]e book.[Em]
She came [Am]on the scene
be[Em]hind Amphetamine,
[Am]and [Em]left before [Am]they
fin[Em]ished the book.
[G]Mirror, mir[D]ror on [Am]the wall[Em],
is [C]this me you no longer [Am]care?
You [G]used to tell [D]me that [Am]I was the one[Em],
but [C]now that you're no longer [Am]here
I stand and stare out on Washington
[Em]Square[Am][Em][D]
Doesn't anybody understand
I [Em]need someone
[D]Even in the dark, late at night
[E]Just to throw them around
[Em]I saw an art[Am] show
[Em]I saw Jaco[Am],
the best [Em]story walking [Am]across the [Em]street
He barely [Am]mumbled
as [Em]he was barely stumb[Am]ling
for [Em]somebody [Am]he's gotta [Em]meet
It's [Am]that loved one,
[Em]with an em[Am]pty gun,[Em]
who [Am]did it all to [Em]dare
He came on to [Am]see behind the c[Em]anopy,
the [Am]nappy [Em]portion,
who was [Am]barely even [Em]there[Am]
[Em][Am][Em][Am]
[Em]That's not Purple Rain,
[Am]that's [Em]June [Am]in Californi[Em]a,
[Am]an d[Em] New York City again.
