Verse 1
Em Lipstick on a thermos cup Bm lust and whiskey fill it up C Bm and smoke blows from the chimney to the moon Em It's much too cold in the Midwest Bm chilly hands cup chilly breasts C G G7/F things not said fill up every room
Chorus
C And as he stands there in the door Bm there's no room for him anymore C Bm She lies there saying honey, take one last look C G Bm G G/F# Em I'll tell it all in my new book
Verse 2
Em Above the city 300 feet Bm a derelict in a penthouse suite C Bm packs his suitcase for the midnight train Em The rich girl couldn't face her dream Bm he's bitter coffee she is sweet cream C G G7/F she pulls on her shirt outside it rains
Chorus
C And later in the rumbling dark Bm she'll unwrap her broken heart C Bm and smile the weary smile of the crook C G Bm G G/F# Em I'll tell it all in my new book
Verse 3
Em Coyote sleeps with everyone Bm but in the morning he's long gone C Bm and it turns out that he was a she Em Tales grow tall around the fire Bm where there's no truth, no one's a liar C G G7/F whatever mask you wear is who you'll be
Chorus
C There is a hole in the day Bm through which we make our getaway C Bm I make mine every time I'm shook C G Bm G G/F# Em I'll tell it all in my new book
Verse 4
Em We sift through culture run amok Bm but our rhythm is still boom-boom chug C Bm the whole world to us is now a theme park Em The tourist takes the traveler's place Bm buys a new body a new face C G G7/F A hymn is not a hymn sung with no heart
Chorus
C And I turn to the man of woe Bm and ask him where there's left to go C Bm he points down with his shepherd's crook C G Bm G G/F# Em I'll tell it all in my new book
Verse 5
Em And when they lead you to the wood Bm remember that you always should C Bm leave a trail of black-eyed peas behind Em So I can find my way to you Bm whatever you may get into C G G7/F you are the one I always long to find
Chorus
C And when this crazy time is gone Bm we'll build a home down by a pond C Bm I'd make you a good mate, I love to cook C G Bm G G/F# Em I'll tell it all in my new book
Verse 6
Em On old Cape Cod it blows a gale Bm I'll be Jonah, you be the whale C Bm I want to dive as deep as we can go Em Your ship is sailing for the dark Bm leave your suitcase take my heart C G G7/F hold me, stow me, love me very slow
Chorus
C Why must this hour come to pass Bm I look at you and raise my glass C Bm our kisses cannot stop the scythe, the hook C G Bm G G/F# Em I'll tell it all in my new book
Verse 7
Em I heard a young man sing a song Bm just that one and he was gone C Bm off on the journey we all used to make Em It was a song like rain and wind Bm reminded me of where I'd been C G G7/F and that wild feeling I can't seem to shake
Chorus
C I'd like to go into some shack Bm and wait for that kid to come back C Bm and sing until the walls and windows shook C G Bm G G/F# Em and tell it all in my new book
Verse 8
Em The soldiers meet between the fights Bm to drink and gamble half the night C Bm while waiting for the fresh troops to arrive Em The battlements will always stand Bm according to the ancient plan C G G7/F not a one of us gets out alive
Chorus
C And as we huddled in the smoke Bm I began to get the joke C Bm I laughed and kissed you while the whole world shook C G Bm G G/F# Em I'll tell it all in my new book
