  			D         A       D 
This is a calling card 
G             D             A 
Maybe it will be a farewell note 
                    G  Dinv Em                   D 
The poison fountain pen     now requires the antidote 
          G         D 
And if I avert your gaze 
G              D                A 
And I should become a shrinking flower 
                     G  Dinv 
Just punch me on the arm 
Em                       D 
This could be our finest hour 
 
Bm       Bm/A 
'Til now this was my view 
Bm/Ab   G7M 
But I'm counting on you 
                                D 
How am I ever going to make you see? 
Bm                   C                 C B Am 
Nothing in this ugly world comes easily 
I want you to be... 
 
G   D      G    D 
 My lovely hooligan 
G    D       G       D 
Come by and smash my pane 
G    D     G         D 
'Til I can see right through 
   G      D   G D 
My little blue  window 
 
This is a fingerprint 
Maybe you will feel a fond caress 
But when you start to speak 
Are you tempted to confess? 
 
Well, I was a gloomy soul 
Never thought I'd see a brighter day 
The dark interior 
Blows those silver clouds away 
 
'Til now this was my view 
But I'm counting on you 
How am I ever going to make you see? 
Nothing in this ugly world comes easily 
I want you to be... 
 
My lovely hooligan 
Come by and smash my pane 
'Til I can see right through 
My little blue window 
(repeat twice)
