(intro) AA D AElope with me Miss Private and we’ll sail around the worldBm F#mI will be your Ferdinand and you my wayward girl Bm EHow many nights of talking in hotel rooms can you take? Bm EHow many nights of limping round on pagan holidays? D F#mOh, elope with me in private and we’ll set something ablaze Bm E F#mA trail for the devil to eraseA D ASan Francisco’s calling us, the Giants and Mets will playBm F#mPiazza, New York catcher, are you straight or are you gay? Bm EWe hung about the stadium, we’ve got no place to stay Bm EWe hung about the tenderloin and tenderly you tell DAbout the saddest book you've ever read F#mThat always makes you cry Bm E F#mThe statue’s crying too and well he may A D AI love you I’ve a drowning grip on your adoring face Bm F#mI love you, my responsibility has found a place Bm EBeside you and strong warnings in the guise of gentle words Bm ECome wave upon me from the family wider net absurd D F#m“You'll take care of her, I know it, you will do a better job"Bm E F#mMaybe, but not what she deserves A D AElope with me Miss Private and we’ll drink ourselves awake Bm F#mWe’ll taste the coffee houses and award certificates Bm Ea privy seal to keep the feel of 1960 style Bm EWe’ll comment on the decor and we’ll help the passer by D F#mAnd at dusk when work is over we’ll continue the debate Bm E F#mIn a borrowed bedroom virginal and spare A D AThe catcher hits for .318 and catches every day Bm F#mThe pitcher puts religion first and rests on holidays Bm EHe goes into cathedrals and lies prostrate on the floor Bm EHe knows the drink affects his speed he’s praying for a doorway D F#mBack into the life he wants and the confession of the benchBm E F#mLife outside the diamond is a wrench A D AI wish that you were here with me to pass the dull weekend Bm F#mI know it wouldn’t come to love, my heroine pretend Bm EA lady stepping from the songs we love until this day Bm EYou’d settle for an epitaph like “Walk Away, Renee" D F#mThe sun upon the roof in winter will draw you out like a flowerBm E F#mMeet you at the statue in an hourBm E F#mMeet you at the statue in an hour
