Rereading The Marble Faun

B       F#      Ebm7    E          C#m
The lecture halls we filled in the Fall fell through.
B       F#      Ebm7    E          C#m
The pedagogue in me asked, "What have you read lately?"
B       F#      Ebm7    E
A pleasantry the blonde in you responded to...
[Chorus]
Ebm7        C#m       Abm         B       A     E
You won't go into the half of it, so I'm going to
Ebm7        C#m           B                 A       E
nitpick.   The exegesis comes quick to whoever's less sorry now.
B           F#              Em (low)
I've forgotten you've a right to be rotten
B           F#              Em (low)
With the killer instincts of an old flame who's slain you.
B       C#m     Ebm7            Em (high)
I just finished the book, and some of it's true.

[Verse 2]
B       F#      Ebm7    E          C#m
Disgusted by the rust on a voice that you never use...
B       F#      Ebm7    E          C#m
How could you expect your Jesuit sect to play here?
B       F#      Ebm7    E
The fake book dates back to Iberia.

[Chorus]
Ebm7        C#m       Abm         B       A     E
You won't go into the half of it, so I'm going to
Ebm7        C#m           B                 A       E
nitpick.   The exegesis comes quick to whoever's less sorry now.
B           F#              Em (low)
I've forgotten you've a right to be rotten
B           F#              Em (low)
With the killer instincts of an old flame who's slain you.
B       C#m     Ebm7            Em (high)
I just finished the book, and some of it's true.

[Verse 3]
B       F#      Ebm7    E          C#m
What will you burn for warmth? Will you keep a husband this season?
B       F#      Ebm7    E          C#m
Who could take you on?
B       F#      Ebm7    E
Itinerant as the day is long...

[Chorus]
Ebm7        C#m       Abm         B       A     E
You won't go into the half of it, so I'm going to
Ebm7        C#m           B                 A       E
nitpick.   The exegesis comes quick to whoever's less sorry now.

I've forgotten you've a right to be rotten
B           F#              Em (low)
With the killer instincts of an old flame who's slain you.

I just finished the book, and some of it's true.
