I left so much behind

G7 Baug C7

My patience and my family

My masterpiece unsigned

Verse 2

G7 Baug C7

I thought I'd be rewarded

Cm7 F Bb

For such a lonely choice

G7 Baug C7

And surely she would answer

Cm7 F Bb D#

To such a very hopeless voice

Bridge

G# G

I practiced on my sainthood

G# G

I gave to one and all

D# Bb Cm

But the rumours of my virtue

G# Bb D#

They moved her not at all

G# G

I changed my style to silver

G# G

I changed my clothes to black

D# Bb Cm

And where I would surrender

G# Bb D#

Ah now I would attack

Verse 3

G7 Baug C7

I stormed the old casino

Cm7 F Bb

For the money and the flesh

G7 Baug C7

And I myself decided

Cm7 F Bb

What was rotten and what was fresh

Bridge

G# G

And men to do my bidding

G# G

And broken bones to teach

D# Bb Cm

The value of my pardon

G# Bb D#

The shadow of my reach

G# G

But no, I could not touch her

G# G

With such a heavy hand

D# Bb Cm

Her star beyond my order

G# Bb D#

Her nakedness unmanned
