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]
