Altar Boy And The Thief
Ton : CEnglish
At nigDm7ht in the safety of shadG7ows and numbers
SDm7eeking some turf on which nG7othing encumbers
The bDm7uying and selling of cG7asual looks
SDm7tuff that gets printed in xG7-rated books
Your mAmother might have tried to undersGtand
When you were hAmardly your daddy's little mGan
And you gFmaj7ave up saluting the cGhief
To fiG7/4nd yourself some rCelief Dm/C C
FDm7inely plucked eyebrows and sG7kin of satin
SDm7miling seductive and eG7ndlessly Latin
OlyDm7mpic body on dG7ancing feet
PAmerfume thickening the aGir like heat
A tAmransient star of gay bar fGame
You qAmuit your job and changed your nGame
And you're nFmaj7early beyond belGief
As yoG7/4u hunt down a littCle reliDm/Cef C
The sDm7even foot black with the eG7merald ring
BDm7roke up a fight without sG7aying a thing
As the cDm7ops cruised by wanting oG7ne more chance
To sAmend Jimmy Baldwin back oGver to France
And a tAmrucker with kids and a wGife
PrefAmers to spend half of his liGfe
In eFmaj7arly Bohemian motGif
Playing pG7/4ool and getting reliCef Dm/C C
My fDm7avorite couple was lG7ooking so fine
DDm7ancing in rhythm and lG7aughing in rhyme
In the lDm7ight of the jukebox all yG7ellow and blue
HAmolding each other as yGoung lovers do
To mAme they will always remGain
UnshAmamed untamed and unbGlamed
The aFmaj7ltar boy and the tGhief
GG7/4rabbing themselves some rCelief Dm/C C
The aAmltar boy and the tGhief
CG7/4atching a little relCief G7 C
