Enter Sylvia Plath

Am C G D

Am
Come, and steal my thoughts away
             G
Thief of my identity
                    F          E
I was holding on to decency, reality
Am
Come, and take me for a while
            G
Up to your abundant pace
                            F             E
I’ll be your sidecar if you want to race, want to race

F
Put your hand on mine
                      C
And take me from this tired ride
                  G
Take me from this early night
                          Am
From the sea and rain and countryside
       F
If you talk to me then soon
               C
I’ll be your accomplice in words
                 G
And we will talk only in verse
             E
Talk only in verse

Am
I will leave the ones I love
                   G
Leave them for the years to come
                     F            E
Even though I may be doing wrong, doing wrong
Am
I will follow in your steps
                 G
Walk out to the station cold
                           F          E
Buy a ticket and and then slowly go, slowly go

F
In this place and time
            C
Easy is the first escape
                   G
I got money I need no disguise
                  Am
I’m a citizen and city wise
F
In this time and place
                         C
There is no one who will shoot you down
                G
No one who will take a girl
                       A
And tell her she can’t have the world

Dm F C G

Dm
Boy, you don’t know what you want
                  C
It isn’t what you think it is
                              A#          A
All the dreams, and guilt and loneliness, loneliness
Dm
Boy, if we were to be friends
              C
Subtle is the art required
                           A#           A
To draw the evil from this lonely pyre, lonely pyre

A#
Take this hand from me
                        F
And guide me round your tools of work
                     C
Fashion me into your junior clerk
                       Dm
Let me live in shadows of your words
     A#
When things get tough for you
                          F
As they did when you came up through the ranks
                       C
You can borrow from my faith
        A
From my faith, from my faith...

repeat it until it ends/fades out
