Love on Parole The Mendoza Line
[C]I was blessed to [F]fight with you all[G] night
I hadn't even know what fun
Oh the [Am]war was dressed in [F]scarlet and in[G] white, like the whore of Babylon
[C]Shook your conscience, [F]held it to the l[G]ight, tried to see what was written on it
I said, [Am]"Baby don't ya think, you're being a [G]little bit drastic?
There are [F]things in this world that you can't [G]buy with plastic.
You [Am]blew through your cash like a [G]Klondike miner.
Someday you'll [F]maybe feel the lash of the Intell[G]igent Designer."
Oh, your[C] doctor died, Baby
I [F]believe he lost a-hold of [G]himself
Oh, it wasn't[Am] a homicide
Your [G]doctor was in [F]such poor[G] health
And I'm a [C]lot like him
I b[F]elieve I've lost cont[G]rol
And those are the [Am]terms of our l[G]ove on paro[F]le
[Am] [G] [C] [F]
[C]Oooh, they found us out in [F]pavilions of doubt
And cath[G]edrals of longing and death without warning
The room[Am] readied itself for that[G] transfer of power
When [C]you rode right through in your penu[G]ltimate hour
And said, "I can[C] see the billboards and the history written large."
You said, "That [G]was no-one's wedding, Baby, that was Picket's Charge."
And for [Am]all of your talk of endi[G]ng the fray,
There's not a pa[F]rt of your heart that would[G] have it that way
Oh, ya c[Am]ouldn't make a[G] cup of tea
With[F]out a battle strateg[G]y
Which doesn't feel [Am]right until i[G]t takes it[F] toll
And those are the [Am]terms and conditions of our lo[G]ve on parol[F]e
[C] [F] [G] [Am] [F] [G] [C] [F] [G] [Am] [G] [F] [Am] [G] [F]
Oh, ab[C]rasive and unbearable, a half-[F]step from hysterical
You stopped w[G]aiting for the miracle and started praying for the end
Oh, you were nev[Am]er less than charitable
But I can think [G]of nothing so terrible
As to no longer [F]be your lover and o[G]nly be your friend
Now [C]I could never navigate your b[F]ody's complex narratives
That whi[G]ch lived and died and lies in stains
And still suffered its imperatives
And anyway, I wa[Am]s never that interested [G]in your heart and soul[F]
I just wanted to[Am] see you and mak[G]e love on parol[F]e
