verse 1
C#m
The people and tables are set to the bone
B
The ladies in waiting long to go home
C#m
Wallflowers drooping against pastel shades
B
Oh for a man with no lock on his gate
C#m
Waiting for nothing confuses the mind
B
Letting go pieces for no one to find
C#m
The smell from the afternoon sits in the air
B
Oh for a man with no back to his chair
C#m
I never wanted I never wanted
B
And I never got I never got
C#m
I never wanted I never once wanted
B
And I never got I never once got
verse 2
C#m
Sweeping the outskirts and keeping the jar
B
Something had been telling me you were not far
C#m
From a jewel in a casket to a pearl in a shell
B
Oh for a man with no stories to tell
C#m
I never wanted I never wanted
B
And I never got I never got
C#m
I never wanted I never once wanted
B
And I never got I never once got
