Dm                                           
Some girls hold the ace, the deuce, the trey      
Dm C       F       Gm         Bb                  
X- ray the deck to see what¹s coming
Dm                                                
Marie Antoinette, she smiled that way
Dm C    F              Gm      Bb                 
Easy to smile when the luck is running

F                Bb               C               
Like a myth, you rode in from the West
F               Bb            C                   
From the go you had my button pressed
        Dm              Bb                        
Did the teatime of your soul
         Dm              Bb                       
Make you long for wilder days?
        Dm             Bb                         
Did you never let Jack Kerouac
     Dm          Bb                               
Wash over you in waves?

Gm       C                                        
Sibella, We don¹t make sense together
Gm                 C                              
But my hearts with you
Gm       C                       Gm               
Sibella, I find myself strangely true
          Dm                                      
Strangely true
                                                  
Some say you can learn a lot from books
Thrill ride to second hand living
Life is just as deadly as it looks
But fiction is more forgiving
                                                  
You took chances well within your means
Salon hair and creases in your jeans
                                                  
All those lonely winters long
Did you really think it through?
Did you really ache for me
Like I really ached for you
                                                  
Sibella, We don¹t make sense together
But my hearts with you
Sibella, I find myself strangely true
Strangely true
