The Best Kiss - Elliott Murphy
-------------------------------
Capo: IV
Intro: Am
[Am]Church chimes ringing just next store
[Dm]I was looking fo[Am]r something more
[Am]Bells tolling for a broken heart
[Dm]I must love just to f[Am]all apart
[Am]That afternoon everything was all right
[Dm]World was burning up diseas[Am]e and fright
[Am]Sitting around lazy a spoon
And I was waiting[Dm] for you and the next ful[Am]l moon
Chorus:
The best [F]kiss I never want to[E] miss
Came from your lying[F] lips spit[(E)]e of th[Am]is
Verse:
[Am]But you know I was long past that
[Dm]Keeping cool in my pan[Am]ama hat
[Am]Lost weekends in the distant sublime
[Dm]Take my vacation, sunset l[Am]avender time
[Am]Just one trick and I do it out of[Dm] rabb[Am]its
[Am]I smell the perfume on her tender slim wrist
[Am]And I keep telling myself it don?t g[Dm]et better than [Am]this
Chorus:
The best [F]kiss I never want to[E] miss
Came from your lying[F] lips spit[E]e of [Am]this
Bridge:
[Bb]Everybody knows w[E]here the conscienc[Am]e goes
[Bb]Everybody shows, [E]that where the evil[Am] grows
Verse:
[Am]Kids upstairs asleep as a mouse
[Dm]My own worries are too [Am]big for this house
[Am]Newspapers try to tell me what matters
[Dm]I?m telling you they?re all as [Am]crazy as Manhatters
[Am]I remember the shine of her bottom lip
[Dm]And the kind of smile that cou[Am]ld launch a thousand ships
[Am]Sit around nursing my wet memory
[Dm]Or I could walk upstairs where she?d b[Am]e waiting for me
Chorus:
The best [F]kiss I never want to[E] miss
Came from your lying[F] lips spit[E]e of [Am]this
