[Verse]
[F]They call you [E]ecstasy,nothing [Fmaj7b5]ever sticks to you
[F]Not Velcro, not [E]Scotch Tape
[Fmaj7b5]Not my arms dipped in glue
Not if I wra[F]p myself in nylon[E]
A piece of duct tape d[Fmaj7b5]own my back
[F]Love pierced the arrow with[E] a 12
And I can't [Fmaj7b5]get you back
[Cborus]
[F]Ah, ecst[E]asy, ecs[Fmaj7b5]tasy
[F]Ecstasy,[E] ah, ecs[Fmaj7b5]tasy
[Verse]
[F]Across the streets an old F[E]ord
They took off its[Fmaj7b5] wheels, the engine is gone
[F]In it seat sits a box[E]
With a note that says, "[Fmaj7b5]Goodbye Charlie, thanks a lot"
I see a child th[F]rough a window with a bi[E]b
And I think of us and wha[Fmaj7b5]t we almost did
[F]The Hudson rocketing with ligh[E]t
Ships pass the[Fmaj7b5] Statue of Liberty at night
[Cborus]
[F]Ah, e[E]cstasy, ec[Fmaj7b5]stasy
[F]Ecsta[E]sy, ah, ec[Fmaj7b5]stasy
[Verse]
Some me[F]n call me St. Ivor[E]y
Some call me [Fmaj7b5]St. Maurice
I'm smoot[F]h as alabaster[E]
With white vein[Fmaj7b5]s running through my cheeks
Big s[F]tud through my eyebrow[E]
A scar on my a[Fmaj7b5]rm that says, "Domain"
I put it [F]over the tattoo [E]
That con[Fmaj7b5]tained your name
[Cborus]
[F]Ah, e[E]cstasy, ec[Fmaj7b5]stasy
[F]Ecsta[E]sy, ah, ecst[Fmaj7b5]asy
[Verse]
The moon p[F]assing through a cloud[E]
A body facing up[Fmaj7b5] is floating towards a crowd
And I t[F]hink of a time and what I couldn'[E]t do
I couldn't hol[Fmaj7b5]d you close, I couldn't become you
They call you[F] ecstasy
I can't hold you do[E]wn, I can't hold[Fmaj7b5] you up
I f[F]eel like that car that I sa[E]w today
No radio, no [Fmaj7b5]engine, no hood
I'm going to the ca[F]fe, I hope they've got [E]music there
And I h[Fmaj7b5]ope those guys can play
But if [F]we have to part
I'll have a new [E]scar right over my heart
[Fmaj7b5]I'll call it ecstasy
[Cborus]
[F]Ah, e[E]cstasy, ec[Fmaj7b5]stasy
[F]Ecsta[E]sy, ah, ecst[Fmaj7b5]asy
