Lyrics And Chords
INTRO ; C G/B G
Emin D C
If patience was a drug
Emin D C
Not a virtue, I would burn it up
Fmaj7 Emin D
Like a dying man dreams only of time running way from him
Emin D C
I dream only of you, Catherine
Emin D C
I taste the cigarettes and the gin
Fmaj7 Emin
And your eyes like that famous burning saint
Emin D
So resolute, so inexorable
D
I love to see you raise Cain
G Amin D
But tell me, what am I supposed to do?
G Amin D
You know I’m just too good for you
Amin D
And I’m living in the shadow of my nerves
G C G/B G
Trying to take care of you
Emin D C
You laugh at all the panicky people
Emin D C
Who don’t know aht he’re so frightened of
Fmaj7 Emin
They don’t know if it’s living or dying
D
Or falling in love
Emin D C
And I am one of them, Catherine
Emin D C
I am one of those you denigrate
Fmaj7 Emin
Did your daddy give it to you straight –
Emin D
Take the money and run?
D
And you’re loaded like a gun
G Amin D
But tell me, what am I supposed to do?
G Amin D
You know I’m just too good for you
Amin D
And I’m living in the shadow of my nerves
G C G/B G
Trying to take care of you

Some do it for good or for glory

Maybe thats how it should be done
G Amin D
But tell me, what am I supposed to do?

You know I’m just too good for you

And I’m living in the shadow of my nerves

Trying to take care of you
What am I supposed to do?
I’m just too good for you
