I will confess to you because you made me think about the times
                       D                      Bm
She turns the picture on to me and I'll turn over
                   E               A
The picture was a masterpiece of comic timing
     G                    D
But you wouldn't laugh at all
     D4              Dm7(9)         Bm
And I wonder what the boy was thinking
                    E                       A
The picture was an old collage of something classical
        G                  D
The model with the tragic hair
   Em              F#m                        G

I will confess to you, because I didn't think about the message
                       D                Bm
As I walked down the alleyway it was a Sunday
                     E                       A
And all my friends deserted me because she painted me
     G                 D
As the fraud I really was
     D4                       Dm7(9)                 Bm
And if you think you see with just your eyes you're mad

When she knew she had been bad
         Em               F#m          G
She met another blind kid at a fancy dress
            A                 D

                   D                         Bm
But I was so embarressed that I missed your party
               E                 A
It was me that paid for it eventually
             G                 D
Because you know how much I wanted
              D4                 Dm7(9)           Bm
To meet your friend the star of stage and local press
                      E                       A
The dream of all the bowlie kids that hang around here

D                                    A                     G
You're not impressed by me, but it's a funny way for you to tell me
                 D
A whisper in a choir stall
               Bm              E
The man was talking about you simultaneously
 A                 G              D
Frankly, I let my heavy eyelids flutter
          D4                 Dm7(9)      Bm
Because I have been sleeping badly lately
                E                       A
I know you were historical from all the books I've read

And with this chance I've missed I feel remiss
  G                      A                  D
It's days and months before I see you again
