Sugarmask

D              F#m 
Amy’s bones protrude 
       G            A 
She is lying in the nude 
          D                 Em 
Smoke and faint scent of perfume 
       G          A 
In the early afternoon 


         D               F#m 
With her Sugarmask still on 
         G           A 
From her party until dawn 
        D                Em 
Grabbed from the bargain bin 
       G           A 
At the sale on the lawn 


G      Em 
Harlan whispers 
               A            Em                A 
“Baby, I don’t mean to stray, but I cannot be true.” 
Em              A 
Tiptoes out the way he came 
Em                A              G  D 
One and one don’t always make it up to two 


      D          F#m 
Delineated and defined 
           G                     A 
Sometimes “to live” it means “to die” 
    D                Em 
And some of us still get 
            G              A 
Somehow you die just to survive 


          G         Em 
Like when Clare she whispered 
                 A            Em                    A 
“John, I did not mean to stray, but I have not been true.” 
Em                A 
I tiptoed out the way I came 
Em                A              G  D 
One and one don’t always make it up to two 

Interlude 
D F#m G A D Em G A 


Bm      F#m 
Hangers-on! 
G        D   G         B7/F#   Em  A 
Find someone else, you hangers-on! 


D              F#m 
Amy’s bones protrude 
       G            A 
She is lying in the nude 
          D                 Em 
Smoke and faint scent of perfume 
       G     A         D 
In the early afternoon
