When you get out of the hospital

Let me back into your life
B       C#m            B
I can't stand what you do
        A
I'm in love with your eyes
    A    B   C#m    B       A          B
And when you get out of the dating bar

I'll be here to get back into your life

Sometimes I can't stand you
B               C#m    B    C#m
And it makes me think about me
B          C#m    B    C#m
That I'm involved with you
           B              A                B               C#m    G#m
But I'm in love with this power that shows through in your eyes


(n.c.)   C#m     B       A
I go to bakeries all day long
          C#m     B               A    B
There's a lack of sweetness in my life
             C#m    B
And there is pain inside
        A           B
You can see it in my eyes
A        B  C#m B  C#m
Oh there is pain inside
B       C#m    B     C#m
You can see it in my eyes
B        C#m    B    C#m
Makes me think about me
 B        C#m  B  C#m
That I've lost my pride
C#m        B              A          B               C#m    G#m
But I'm in love with this power that resides in your eyes


(n.c.)  C#m B       A         B
You live in modern apartments
       C#m      B              A     B
Well I even got scared once or twice
     C#            B         A
Last time I walked down your street
A
There were tears in my eyes
     B     C#m      B
Well these streets
       A      B
We all know
     C#m                     B            A
They help us cry when we're alone late at night
B         C#m       B
Don't you love them too?
                 A
That's where you got your eyes?
     B     C#m   B        C#m
Oh I can't stand what you do
B           C#m   B     C#m
Sometimes I can't stand you
B               C#m    B    C#m
And it makes me think about me
B         C#m    B    C#m
How I'm involved with you
           B              A          B                     C#m    G#m
But I'm in love with this power that shows through in your eyes


(Same chords as previous verses)

Now... your world

It is beautiful

I'll take the subway to your suburb sometime

I'll seek out the places that must have been magic

to your little girl mind

Now as a little girl

You must have been magic

I still get jealous of your old boyfriends

in the suburbs sometimes

And when I walk down your street

Probably be tears in my eyes

(I knew it would happen)

I can't stand what you do

Sometimes I can't stand you

And it makes me think about me

That I'm involved with you

But I'm in love with this power that shows through in your eyes


                     C#m B                  A B
So... when you get out      of the hospital
C#m    B              A
Let me back into your life

I can't stand what you do
                                C#m
But I'm in love with your eyes

(quietly repeat intro)
