Last time I saw richard was 
                     Am
Detroit in 68 / And told me

all romantics meet the same fate / 
someday, cynical and bitter and
                             G
boring someone / In some dark café /
 You laugh, he said you
                      Am
think you're immune, / Go look at 
your eyes / They're full of moon /
You like roses and kisses and pretty
                              G
 men to tell you / All those pretty
             C/G                   
lies, pretty lies / When you gonna 
                  F
realize they're only pretty lies /
             G     Am         D  
Only pretty lies, pretty lies /

        He put a quarter in the
                   Am
wurlitzer, and he pushed / Three 
buttons and the thing began to whirl
 /

And a waitress came by in fishnet 
stockings and a bow tie / and she
               G
said "drink up now it's getting on 
time to close" / "Richard, you 
haven't
really changed", I said / It's just 
 Am
that now you're romanticizing some 
pain

that's in your head / You've got 
tombs in your in eyes, but the songs
 / you
                G                  
punched are dreaming / Listen, they
                   C/G
 talk of love so sweet / When you
                F                
gonna get back on your feet? / Oh 
                  G
and love can be so

sweet, love so sweet /

Richard got married to a figure
                Am
skater / And he bought her a dish 
washer and a coffe percolator /

And he drinks at home now most night
 with the TV on / And all the
                     G
house lights left up bright / I'm 
gonna blow this dam candle out / I
             Am
don't want nobody, comin'over to my 
table / I got nothing to talk to

anybody about / All good dreamer 
pass this away someday / Hidin'
                        G          
behind bottles in dark cafes / Dark
   F     C/G
 cafes / Only this darkness before
          F                      G
I get my gorgeous wings / And fly 
               Am
away / Only a phase, these dark
