D
the 1st time I saw you
D9/C
i did try hard to burn my eyes
Bm
life was but a sad dream
i was but a sad breath
A6(9)(4)
but you were something like sand
when sunlight hits the sea
D
the 2nd time I saw you
D9/C
i was about to take the road
Bm
i asked would you wait for me
you said life ain't a highway
A6(9)(4)
better if we'd been born
as siamese songbirds
D
the 3rd time I saw you
D9/C
we went to the zoo
Bm
all steady hot beers, sorrowful monkeys
A6(9)(4)
big eyes laughing
wish I had not held hands
D
the 4th time I saw you
D9/C
it was like I was gonna die
Bm
i was waiting outside
you just had a new guy
A6(9)(4)
asked me why, I, I
D D7M(9)/5#
son, won't you come along?
D4 D
we have no time for another song
D7M(9)/5#
won't you sing along?
D4
we have no sea, child
D
the 5th time I saw you
D9/C
he was traveling abroad
Bm
and your eyes, they were not here
you just made new friends
A6(9)(4)
while I tried to stop with cigarrettes
D
the 6th time I saw you
D9/C
i was properly insane
Bm
for the whisky I had drunk
the drugs I'd taken
A6(9)(4)
gimme one way you will realise
D
the 7th time I saw you
D9/C
you were married again
Bm
if I had just once kissed you
things wouldn't be the same
A6(9)(4)
surely the sky'd be different
D
the 8th time I saw you
D9/C
i was strummin' the guitar
Bm
& your ears were not for me
my ears were a-bleeding
A6(9)(4)
the waiter was blind
please someone blind my eyes
D
the last time I saw you
D9/C
it was about five a.m.
Bm
you approached me in a strange car
finally kissed me
A6(9)(4)
then did wave goodbye
before you disappear
D
sometimes I ache, babe
D9/C
or I ain't hard enough to stand
Bm
days they just drown me
coming back from work
A6(9)(4)
having sour breakfast
seasick from your chest.
