(intro) CC F CElope with me Miss Private and we’ll sail around the worldDm AmI will be your Ferdinand and you my wayward girl Dm GHow many nights of talking in hotel rooms can you take? Dm GHow many nights of limping round on pagan holidays? F AmOh, elope with me in private and we’ll set something ablaze Dm G AmA trail for the devil to eraseC F CSan Francisco’s calling us, the Giants and Mets will playDm AmPiazza, New York catcher, are you straight or are you gay? Dm GWe hung about the stadium, we’ve got no place to stay Dm GWe hung about the tenderloin and tenderly you tell FAbout the saddest book you've ever read AmThat always makes you cry Dm G AmThe statue’s crying too and well he may C F CI love you I’ve a drowning grip on your adoring face Dm AmI love you, my responsibility has found a place Dm GBeside you and strong warnings in the guise of gentle words Dm GCome wave upon me from the family wider net absurd F Am“You'll take care of her, I know it, you will do a better job"Dm G AmMaybe, but not what she deserves C F CElope with me Miss Private and we’ll drink ourselves awake Dm AmWe’ll taste the coffee houses and award certificates Dm Ga privy seal to keep the feel of 1960 style Dm GWe’ll comment on the decor and we’ll help the passer by F AmAnd at dusk when work is over we’ll continue the debate Dm G AmIn a borrowed bedroom virginal and spare C F CThe catcher hits for .318 and catches every day Dm AmThe pitcher puts religion first and rests on holidays Dm GHe goes into cathedrals and lies prostrate on the floor Dm GHe knows the drink affects his speed he’s praying for a doorway F AmBack into the life he wants and the confession of the benchDm G AmLife outside the diamond is a wrench C F CI wish that you were here with me to pass the dull weekend Dm AmI know it wouldn’t come to love, my heroine pretend Dm GA lady stepping from the songs we love until this day Dm GYou’d settle for an epitaph like “Walk Away, Renee" F AmThe sun upon the roof in winter will draw you out like a flowerDm G AmMeet you at the statue in an hourDm G AmMeet you at the statue in an hour
