VerseFE Fmaj7b5
They call you ecstasy,nothing ever sticks to you
FE
Not Velcro, not Scotch Tape
Fmaj7b5
Not my arms dipped in glue
FE
Not if I wrap myself in nylon
Fmaj7b5
A piece of duct tape down my back
FE
Love pierced the arrow with a 12
Fmaj7b5
And I can't get you back
ChorusFE Fmaj7b5
Ah, ecstasy, ecstasy
FE Fmaj7b5
Ecstasy, ah, ecstasy
VerseFE
Across the streets an old Ford
Fmaj7b5
They took off its wheels, the engine is gone
FE
In it seat sits a box
Fmaj7b5
With a note that says, "Goodbye Charlie, thanks a lot"
FE
I see a child through a window with a bib
Fmaj7b5
And I think of us and what we almost did
FE
The Hudson rocketing with light
Fmaj7b5
Ships pass the Statue of Liberty at night
ChorusFE Fmaj7b5
Ah, ecstasy, ecstasy
FE Fmaj7b5
Ecstasy, ah, ecstasy
VerseFE
Some men call me St. Ivory
Fmaj7b5
Some call me St. Maurice
FE
I'm smooth as alabaster
Fmaj7b5
With white veins running through my cheeks
FE
Big stud through my eyebrow
Fmaj7b5
A scar on my arm that says, "Domain"
FE
I put it over the tattoo
Fmaj7b5
That contained your name
ChorusFE Fmaj7b5
Ah, ecstasy, ecstasy
FE Fmaj7b5
Ecstasy, ah, ecstasy
VerseFE
The moon passing through a cloud
Fmaj7b5
A body facing up is floating towards a crowd
FE
And I think of a time and what I couldn't do
Fmaj7b5
I couldn't hold you close, I couldn't become you
F
They call you ecstasy
E Fmaj7b5
I can't hold you down, I can't hold you up
FE
I feel like that car that I saw today
Fmaj7b5
No radio, no engine, no hood
FE
I'm going to the cafe, I hope they've got music there
Fmaj7b5
And I hope those guys can play
F
But if we have to part
E
I'll have a new scar right over my heart
Fmaj7b5
I'll call it ecstasy
ChorusFE Fmaj7b5
Ah, ecstasy, ecstasy
FE Fmaj7b5
Ecstasy, ah, ecstasy
