Chords
D A
I hate these flaming curtains they're not the color of your hair
A7 D
I hate these striplights they're not so undoing as your stare
D D7 G
I hate the buttons on your shirt when all I wanna do is tear
G A
I hate this bloody big bed of mine when you're not here
[Chorus]:
D e f# G
Well I finally found someone to turn me upside down
D A
And nail my feet up where my head should be
D e f# G
If they had a King of Fools then I could wear that crown
D A G
And you can all die laughing because I'll wear it proudly
D A
You seem to be shivering dear and the room is awfully warm
A7 D
In the white and scarlet billows that subside beyond the storm
D D7 G
You have this expression dear no words could take its place
G A
And I wear it like a badge that you put all over my face
[Chorus]
A G D
I'll wear it proudly through the dives and the dancehalls
A G D
If you'll wear it proudly through the snakepits and catcalls
A G D
Like a fifteen year old kid wears a vampire kiss
G
If you don't know what is wrong with me
A
Then you don't know you've missed
D A
Were your arms and legs wrapped round more than my memory tonight
A7 D
When the bell rang out and the air around turned blue from fright
D D7 G
But in shameless moments you made more of me than just a mess
G A
And a handful of eagerness says "What do you suggest?"
[Chorus]
