Tom: D

D                           A G
My love, she speaks like silence
                     D     A
Without ideals or violence
 G                               D
She doesn't have to say she's faithful
            Em7                  A A6 A7
Yet she's true like ice, like fire
  D                A G
People carry roses
                           D  A
And make promises by the hour
 G                            D
My love she laughs like the flowers
    Em      A7      D
Valentines can't buy her


     D                           A G
In the dime stores and bus stations
                     D     A
People talk of situations
 G                               D
Read books, repeat quotations
            Em7               A A6 A7
Draw conclusions on the wall
  D                A G
Some speak of the future
                           D  A
My love, she speaks softly
 G                            D
She knows there's no success like failure
    Em      A7      D
And that failure's no success at all


     D                           A G
The cloak and dagger dangles
                     D     A
Madams light the candles
 G                               D
In ceremonies of the horsemen
            Em7                      A A6 A7
Even the pawn must hold a grudge
  D                A G
Statues made of match sticks
                           D  A
Crumble into one another
 G                            D
My love winks she does not bother
    Em      A7      D
She knows too much to argue or to judge


     D                           A G
The bridge at midnight trembles
                     D     A
The country doctor rambles
 G                               D
Bankers' nieces seek perfection
            Em7                                A A6 A7
Expecting all the gifts that wise men bring
  D                A G
The wind howls like a hammer
                                       D  A
The night wind blows cold n' rainy
 G                            D
My love, she's like some raven
    Em      A7      D
At my window with a broken wing
