Pornographer's Dream
Tom: C
		
Am                               F
she's a pornographer's dream, he said.
F
I knew what he meant.
    C
but it made me imagine: what kind of a dream
            Am
he would have, that hadn't been spent?
Am
would he still dream of the thigh? of the flesh upon high?
        F
what he saw so much of?
           E
wouldn't he dream of the thing that he never
           Am
could quite get the touch of?
                 F               G
it's out of his hands, over his head
            A
out of his reach, under this real life
           F                 G
hidden in veils, covered in silk
                 A
he's dreaming of what might be
            F               G
out of his hands, over his head
            A
out of his reach, under this real life
            F     G
hidden in veils,
                  A
he's dreaming of mystery.
 Am
Bettie Page is still the rage
          F
with her legs and leather;
     E                                           Am
she turns to tease the camera, and please us at home,
and we let her.
 Am                                  F
who's to know what she'll show of herself,
F
in what measure?
   E
if what she reveals, or what she conceals,
       Am
is the key to our pleasure?
                 F               G
it's out of his hands, over his head
            A
out of his reach, under this real life
           F                 G
hidden in veils, covered in silk
                 A
he's dreaming of what might be
            F               G
out of his hands, over his head
            A
out of his reach, under this real life
            F     G
hidden in veils,
                  A
he's dreaming of mystery.
Am                               F
she's a pornographer's dream, he said.
F
I knew what he meant.
    C
but it made me imagine: what kind of a dream
            Am
he would have?

      Bound up in wire and fate
               F                  Em

                  F
  In front of the ironbound school yard
VERSE 3:

Tom: G
Intro: G C F Bb [x4]
           G                 C
On her way to the bday
                       F                      Bb
Was where the trouble used to start
            G                        C
It didn't mean she wasn't queen
           F                      Bb
Of the tender box that was his heart
      G           C
Her fire is desire
                  F                         Bb
Meant that everything must come undone
       G               C
And so now we know
              F                    Bb  F  G
That it's not enough to be in love
G                                   F
(Not enough to be in love)
G                                   F
(Not enough to be in love)
           G                 C
He's so true; she is too
                  F                                  Bb
She says, "I love you, Frank," and then they drank 
      G                    C
All night; what a fight
                   F                        Bb
He says, "It isn't me you're thinking of."
         G                          C
She's cool; it makes him cruel
                F                    Bb
And they kneel til the jewels go wailing (?)
G                      C
Down upon the ground
                     F                     Bb F  G
She says "It's not enough to be in love."
Bb
(It's not enough; it's not enough)
C
(It's not enough to be in love)
Bb
Not enough to be in love
(It's not enough; it's not enough)
C
(It's not enough to be in love)
They woke up; they broke up
They were so volatile and all the while
Life passed; it went fast
And yet they never could forget
The chemistry, like you and me
It proved to keep them both apart for life
And so, now we know that
It's not enough to be in love
(Not enough to be in love)
(Not enough to be in love)
Not enough to be in love
(Not enough to be in love)
Caramel 
Tom: Gm
Intro: Gm7 Eb5 D7
VERSE 1
         Gm7  C#7       D7sus4/A     D7
It won't do          to dream of caramel,
      D7sus4/A          D7               Gm7  Eb5 D7
to think of cinnamon       and long for you.
It won't do        to stir a deep desire,
to fan a hidden fire that can never burn true.
CHORUS 1
Cm7    Dm7     D#maj7     Dm7       Cm7
     I know your name, I know your skin,
  Dm7            D#maj7       D7
I know the way these things begin;
            G     Gm               D7sus4/A        D7
But I don't know        how I would live with myself,
            D7sus4/A      D7
what I'd forgive of myself
             Gm7  D7       
if you don't go.
VERSE 3
So goodbye,       sweet appetite,
no single bite     could satisfy...
CHORUS
It won't do        to dream of caramel, 
to think of cinnamon      and long
for you.

G     D/F#              Em           C                 G
Those men who lust for land and for riches strange and new,
          D/F#         Em               C              G
All those trinkets of desire, but they never will have you.
            D/F#           Em           C              G
And they'll never know the gold or the copper in your hair,
     D/F#                F                Dsus2/E
How could they weigh the worth of you so rare.
Em        Cmaj7          Bm      Cmaj7
If your love were taken from me
Em    Cmaj7                     Bm        Cmaj7
Every light that's bright would soon grow dim.
G         D/F#             Em           Amsus
It would be as dark as the world before Colombus.
G         D/F#          Em       F
Down the waterfall and I'd swim over the
Dsus2/E
Brim.

          D/F#         Em              C               G
All those trinkets of desire, oh they never will have you.
            D/F#           Em           C              G
And they'll never know the gold or the copper in your hair,

LUKA 
Tom: G
  
G           D
My name is Luka
C              D
I live on the second floor
G          D
I live upstairs from you
 C                  D
Yes I think you've seen me before
Em      D                      Em
If you hear something late at night
               D                    C
Some kind of trouble, some kind of fight
            D                 C
Just don't ask me what it was
            D                 C
Just don't ask me what it was
            D                 G
Just don't ask me what it was
 G                D
I think it's because I'm clumsy
C              D
I try not to talk too loud
G          D
Maybe it's because I'm crazy
 C                  D
I try not to act too proud
Em      D                      Em
They only hit you until you cry
     D                    C
And after that you don't ask why
          D              C           
You just don't argue anymore
          D              C 
You just don't argue anymore
          D              G
You just don't argue anymore
 
guitar solo:  G  D  C  D    G  D  C  D
 G                D
Yes I think I'm OK
C              D
I walked into the door again
       G                D
Well, if you ask that's what I'll say
 C                  D
And it's not your business anyway
Em      D                 Em
I guess I'd like to be alone
      D                    C
With nothing broken, nothing thrown
     D                   C
Just don't ask me how I am
     D                  C
Just don't ask me how I am
     D                  G
Just don't ask me how I am
 
instrumental:  G  D  C  D    G  D  C  D    Em  D  C  D  G
