Fire Engine Red

NO CAPO C D G Bm C C D Tryin' to get her to stay home G was worst than pulling a sword from the stone Bm I'm sweating bullets in Palos Verdes C Please, don't leave me on my own C D I wanted her to be my wife G I wanted her to want that life Bm It ended the same way it started C Behind the door, holding that knife C C Am While I'm happy, I was wrong and mislead C D G She took me to your lipstick fire engine red C D You were brighter than a neon sea G of signs that say "no vacancy" Bm The few brave men you've let check in C still brag about the times they've been C D Over the limit, drunk on wine G Below the Mason Dixon line Bm I promised that I'd start to pray C if the police looked the other way C C Am And I didn't go to jail, wind up dead C D G I prayed each night for your lips fire engine red C D They said: "You cannot clear a jump that wide G A stunt like that is suicide" Bm But when I got the courage to C I spent the night alone with you C D I think I'm the luckiest guy G I used to be too numb to cry Bm I don't know how I timed this right C You're just the prettiest sight C C Am In the movies people change when they bled C D G Inside my veins your lipstick's fire engine red C D I must admit I'm insecure G That's what all those women were for Bm I don't wanna be who I am C If nobody else gives a damn C D We've been together 'bout a year G I can't say that don't bring me fear Bm I'm scared to come home every night C I'm scared to keep the checkbook tight C C Am Renting movies in your room, in your bed C D G You kissed my cheek, with lipstick fire engine red C D You always wear the same perfume G It reminds you of the hotel room Bm The one in which I swore I knew C I'd spent the rest (of) my life with you C D But I tell you "you should take it off G I don't wanna smell like that stuff" Bm Sometimes my heart it gets so dark C You sit and watch it fall apart C C Am Run a needle through what's left, tie the thread C D G Don't let me leave your lipstick fire engine red C D What's two people supposed to do G When restlessness gets hold of you Bm I'm drowning in my drinking cup C I can't, I will not give you up C D But if flowers never stay and bloom G I'd do we in a one bed room Bm We're both victims to our fear C I'll be a man and hold you near C C Am If you leave me, you'll survive in my head C D G I won't forget your lipstick's fire engine red ____________________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________________ 2.
