      D    D*        D              D       D*      D 
The wind sways the trees and the raindrops on the leaves 
        Bm            G            D      D*     D 
Tumble down, down my neck in the breeze 
            D  D*    D           D     D*       D 
Yes, it's true I hid out in the shadow of your doubt, 
          Bm           G                D      D*    D 
And this medal that I wear is not for bravery, I'm afraid 
  
            A             G        D 
And we're both going to have to accept 
            A          G          D 
That this might be as good as it gets 
         A             G      D             Bm   A     G 
As our love for each other respects neither rule nor reason 

  
       D  D*       D      D                                      D*         D 
The Queen on her throne plays Shirley Bassey records when she's all on her own 
          Bm       G          D    D*  D 
And she looks out the window and cries 
  D     D*     D     D                D*   D 
What should I do? Scratch off all of my tattoos? 
      Bm                  G                D                  D*           D 
And forget those girls' names? But you're not about to let me do that, are you? 
  
            A             G        D 
And we're both going to have to accept 
            A          G          D 
That this might be as bad as it gets 
         A             G       D             Bm   A    G 
As our love for each other respects neither rule nor reason 

            A            G        D 
And we're both going to have to accept 
            A          G         D 
That this might be as big as it gets 
         A             G      D 
As our love for each other respects 
         Bm  A     G 
Neither rule nor reason 
         Bm  A     G 
Neither rule nor reason 

End on D
