COTTON MATHER - HOTEL BALTIMORE
 
LOST MY MOTTO
 
D                 	C		G	D
She's on the payroll of the Vatican Bank, 
D
But she works in an American book store and her husband is the Byzantine type, 
D		C			D
I asked her what she had to do at St Mike's
D		C				D			C	D
She said "I came here trying to remember something but I'm only in it now for the wine"
Em				F			C		G		A
Her daddy doesn't run the store and what's more he gets no confession from me
	Am  E    F 	     Am  E    F
I Lost My Motto, I Lost My Motto
 
She expects no optical illusions from me, not that she doesn't give me plenty to witness
It's just I don't know how to part the red sea
I don't want to be in his morality play, he thinks that marriage is a good institution
So let him find a girl to keep it that way
It might make it better that he's bad to her  but I don't know what's happened to my boundaries
 
I Lost My Motto, I Lost My Motto, I Lost My Motto
 
And I don't think this is an issue with god
When it comes to the law I wouldn't think I'm a purist
You cant break something that doesn't work anymore
And now I'm seeing my life like a tourist
 
We took a taxi to a their summer retreat, we changed the locks and the points of access
We didn't go to the front door for a week
I found a volume by the side of their bed, I said "I've read it I'm awaiting the sequel"
She gave me "Under The Volcano" instead
And said "Now what was that you lost?" and I said "not too much just my fortune cookie"
 
BABY FREEZE QUEEN

Bring yourself to sleep and maybe I can help you find
Bb
Something so naive it makes you cry
Everything we thought was deep turned out to be a lie
Don't blame me coz I've been on your side
 
G      			      F
Can you hear me can you read me

Baby freeze Queen
 
Can you hear me can you read me
Baby freeze Queen
