Elope with me, Miss Private, and we'll sail around the world

I will be your Ferdinand and you my wayward girl

How many nights of talking in hotel rooms can you take?
Abm                                  C#
How many nights of limping 'round on pagan holidays?
    B                                  Eb
Oh, elope with me in private and we'll set something ablaze

A trail for the devil to erase

We hung about the stadium, we've got no place to stay
Abm                              C#
We hung about the tenderloin and tenderly you tell
B                                        Eb
About the saddest book you ever read, it always makes you cry
Abm                 C#               Ebm
The statue's crying too, and well he may

I love you I've a drowning grip on your adoring face

I love you my responsibility has found a place
Abm                                   C#
Beside you and strong warnings in the guise of gentle words
Abm                               C#
Come wave upon me from the family why not that's absurd B                                            Eb
You'll take care of her, I know it, you will do a better job
Abm        C#             Ebm
Maybe, but not what she deserves

Elope with me Miss Private and we'll drink ourselves awake
Abm                               Ebm  
We'll taste the coffee houses and award certificates
Abm                              C#
A privy seal to keep the feel of 1960's style
Abm                                  C
We'll comment on the decor and we'll help the passer by
B                                      Eb
And at dusk when work is over we'll continue the debate
Abm                   C#           Ebm
In a borrowed bedroom virginal and spare

The pitcher puts religion first and rests on holidays
Abm                              C#
He goes into cathedrals and lies prostrate on the floor
Abm                                       C#
He knows the drink affects his speed he's praying for a doorway
B                                      Eb
Back into the life he wants and the confession of the bench
Abm              C#           Ebm
Life outside the diamond is a wrench

You'd settle for an epitaph like Walk Away, Renee
B                                         Eb
The sun upon the roof in winter will draw you out like a flower

Meet you at the statue in an hour
Abm             C#           Ebm
Meet you at the statue in an hour
