Tuning:Standard

Notes:

1. I usually play the C's and the first Dm of each passage as barre chords, with the

Dm in first position.

2.There are some rhythm syncopations; I tried to put the chords above exactly where they

be played in relation to the lyrics, so use your ear.

3d. This is not exact, this is how I play it; the intro, for example, could be taken a

of ways. Go ahead, make up your own.

Intro:

Verse/Chorus:

I am alive

I am alive

and that is the best that i can do

you told me you lied

you swore you were mine

i took you back a thousand times

talk of the town

you've been around

if he is the man you want the go

but tonight we'll leave

all our lovers behind

and try to live a quiet life

my love dress me like a clown

you are an ass

a snake in the grass

vanity seeps from out your pores

and baby it's time

to pay for my crime

nothing i say can make you mine

you either sing it in key

or run into me

i can fake it as good as you

but tonight we'll leave

all our spirit songs

we'll drive and reach the hills by dawn

my love is dressing me like a clown

but tonight we'll leave

all our lovers behind

and try to live a quiet life

margot dress me like a clown

tonight we'll drink

into an early grave

we'll laugh, we will not be safe

someone has dressed us all like clowns

darling it's sin

where do i begin?

putting the contact lenses in

you say the lights

scurry like mice

reflect in the streets

and your blue eyes

out of the roof

wait to grow up

turn me around and lock me up

baby you are an ass

a snake in the grass

vanity oozes out your pores
