If You Love Me Leave Me Alone

Lyrics and Chords

A                                                                       D                          A

This sleepy town’s all painted up like an old prostitute

A                                                                                         E

It’s Christmastime and there’s sawdust in my veins

A                                                         D                          A

My imaginary angels never did me any good

E                                       D                         A                A7

Now they’re only scarecrows in the rain

D                                                 A

If you love me, leave me alone

E

I’ve had enough

D

I’m going home

A                                                      D                          A

If I had a picture of the dream that I once had

A                                                                     E

I’m sure I would not recognise it at all

A                                                             D                                         A

Those puppy eyes the pleaded to be taken advantage of

E                                       D                         A                A7

Drunken, sunken holes, black as a pall

D                                                 A

If you love me, leave me alone

E

I’ve had enough

D

I’m going home

A                                                                         D                          A

When they add up all the good and subtract the bad

A                                                                     E

I might just get my foot inside the door

A                                                             D                                 A

I’m not bored or restless, O and I’m not going mad

E                                       D                         A                A7

But I’ll go to Hell if I live here anymore

D                                                 A

If you love me, leave me alone

E

I’ve had enough

D

I’m going home

D

If you love me

A

Walk away

E

You can break my heart

D                                               A

Some other day

Lyrics

This sleepy town’s all painted up like an old prostitute
It’s Christmastime and there’s sawdust in my veins
My imaginary angels never did me any good
Now they’re only scarecrows in the rain

If you love me, leave me alone
I’ve had enough
I’m going home

If I had a picture of the dream that I once had
I’m sure I would not recognise it at all
Those puppy eyes the pleaded to be taken advantage of
Drunken, sunken holes, black as a pall

If you love me, leave me alone
I’ve had enough
I’m going home

When they add up all the good and subtract the bad
I might just get my foot inside the door
I’m not bored or restless, Oh and I’m not going mad
But I’ll go to Hell if I live here anymore

If you love me, leave me alone
I’ve had enough
I’m going home
If you love me
Walk away
You can break my heart
Some other day
