Mace Spray

INTRO: Dm F C G

VERSE
F                       G
There's a place in the town, a statue,
She'd make me wait beneath,
But its magnificent archways, archways,
That's where I'd go to weep.

PRECHORUS
Am                      G
I'm right up onto the counter; Showgirl,
Dm          Am         G
Perfect the slow body-roll.
Am                                        G
And breakaway from the anger, oh, hoe,
Dm            Am         G
Just got to let it all go,

CHORUS
        F                  G
But she loves me
Am     C      F                           G
More than anyone who wouldn't lay a hand.
Am   C       F        G   Am
She keeps mace spray,
  C             F                G Am C
For you can't rely on the common man.

VERSE
F                       G
That night up under the starlight,
Holly, you call, 'the great blistering blue,'
A strange formation came down from the ceiling,
And it began to move.

Am                     G
And so the shattering shards of glass fell,
Dm            Am             G
And glistened this way and that,
But she would say I won't find my way through the plaster;
I'm an empty hourglass in the sand,

CHORUS
               F    G  Am C
But she loves me,
More than anyone who wouldn't speak like that.
She keeps mace spray,
For you can't rely on the common man.

                F                 G   Am    C
But it is alright,
Here in the time and the place I am,
You leave a light on all night,
Just to remind of the place I am.
