G
The last time I saw Richard was Detroit in '68
            Am                                                            A7
And he told me all romantics meet the same fate someday
Em                                   Am                                            G
Cynical and drunk and boring someone in some dark café
G
You laugh he said you think you're immune
      Am                                    A7
Go look at your eyes they're full of moon
              Em                              Am                                   G
You like roses and kisses and pretty men to tell you all those pretty lies
           C                                                                 F
Pretty lies when you gonna realize they're only pretty lies
              G                  Am       A7 D7
Only pretty lies just pretty lies

G
He put a quarter in the Wurlitzer and he
Am                                           A7
Pushed three buttons and the thing began to whirr
        Em                                             Am
And a bar maid came by in fishnet stockings and a bow tie
                       G
And she said "Drink up now it's getting' on time to close"
G
"Richard, you haven't really changed" I said
                      Am                                           A7
It's just that now you're romanticizing some pain that's in your head
                                 Em                    Am                                   G
You got tombs in your eyes but the songs you punched are dreaming
                                                     C
Listen, they sing of love so sweet, love so sweet
                                                 F
When you gonna get yourself back on your feet?
             G                                   Asus
Oh and love can be so sweet Love so sweet

G
Richard got married to a figure skater
              A7
And he bought her a dishwasher and a coffee percolator
              Em                                                    Am
And he drinks at home now most nights with the TV on
                G
And all the house lights left up bright
G
I'm gonna blow this damn candle out
                        Am
I don't want nobody comin' over to my table I got nothing to talk to anybody about
Em                                       Am
All good dreamers pass this way someday
G                                                         C
Hidin' behind bottles in dark cafes, dark cafes
                                                           F                                    G
Only a dark cocoon before I get my gorgeous wings and fly away
                               Am             G  Asus
Only a phase these dark café days
