D
Well we were an odd couple you and I
F#m
In our strange and original attire
Em
I thought, I thought it was love at first sight
G D
My mother, my mother, she shivered with spite
D
Well I couldn't tell if you were boy or girl
F#m
My mind was in such a swirl
Em
It was a case of grist to the mill
G
True love grows, it grows oh where it will (E--0--2--4--7---)

But you still have your souvenirs
F#m G F#
You've got scars from head to toe
F#m G
It's getting hard to tell your friends from foe
D F#m Em
N.C (But they are the same as the first verse)
Well, you picked me up at the station
After my backstreet operation
You broke me, you broke the painful news
You dumped me, you dumped me for a pretty young muse D
D
So the lessons they are there to learn
F#m
My scars are caused by cigarette burns
Em
I have no mirrors and I spend my days
G
Reminiscing on your porcelain gaze (E--0--2--4--7---)
