How nice it is to disappear
float into a mist
with a young lady on your arm
looking for a kiss

It might be nice to disappear
to have a vanishing act
to always be looking forward
never look over your back

It must be nice to disappear
float into a mist
with a young lady on your arm
looking for a kiss

It must be nice to disappear
to have a vanishing act
to always be moving forward
and never looking back

How nice it is to disappear
float into a mist
with a young lady on your arm
looking for a kiss

Looking for a kiss
float into a mist

[Fmaj7b5]

They call you ecstasy,nothing [Fmaj7b5]ever sticks to you
Not Velcro, not Scotch Tape
[Fmaj7b5]Not my arms dipped in glue
Not if I wrap myself in nylon
A piece of duct tape d[Fmaj7b5]own my back
Love pierced the arrow with a 12
And I can’t [Fmaj7b5]get you back

Ah, ecstasy, ecs[Fmaj7b5]tasy

Ecstasy, ah, ecs[Fmaj7b5]tasy

Across the streets an old Ford
They took off its[Fmaj7b5] wheels, the engine is gone
In it seat sits a box
With a note that says, “[Fmaj7b5]Goodbye Charlie, thanks a lot”
I see a child through a window with a bib
And I think of us and wha[Fmaj7b5]t we almost did
The Hudson rocketing with light
Ships pass the[Fmaj7b5] Statue of Liberty at night

Ah, ecstasy, ec[Fmaj7b5]stasy

Ecstasy, ah, ec[Fmaj7b5]stasy

Some men call me St. Ivory
Some call me [Fmaj7b5]St. Maurice
I’m smooth as alabaster
With white vein[Fmaj7b5]s running through my cheeks

Big stud through my eyebrow
A scar on my a[Fmaj7b5]rm that says, “Domain”
I put it over the tattoo
That con[Fmaj7b5]tained your name

Ah, ecstasy, ec[Fmaj7b5]stasy

Ecstasy, ah, ecst[Fmaj7b5]asy

The moon passing through a cloud
A body facing up[Fmaj7b5] is floating towards a crowd
And I think of a time and what I couldn't do
I couldn’t hol[Fmaj7b5]d you close, I couldn’t become you
They call you ecstasy
I can’t hold you down, I can’t hold[Fmaj7b5] you up
I feel like that car that I saw today
No radio, no [Fmaj7b5]engine, no hood

I’m going to the cafe, I hope they’ve got music there
And I h[Fmaj7b5]ope those guys can play
But if we have to part
I’ll have a new scar right over my heart
[Fmaj7b5]I’ll call it ecstasy

Ah, ecstasy, ec[Fmaj7b5]stasy

Ecstasy, ah, ecst[Fmaj7b5]asy

Looking for another chance
someone else to be
looking for another place
to ride into the sun
Ride into the sun
ride into the sun
ride into the sun
ride into the sun where
everything is so pretty
if you’re tired and your filled with self pi-ty
remember it’s a flower made out of clay
In the city where everything is so dirty

Why didn’t you call on me?
Why didn’t you call on me?
Why didn’t you call on me?
Why didn’t you call?

[G/F#]

A wild being from birth, my spirit spurns control

Wondering the wide earth searching for my soul
Dimly peering, I would surely find
What could there be more purely bright

In truth’s day-star?

Why didn’t you call on me?
Why didn’t you call on me?
Why didn’t you call on me?

Why didn’t you call on me?
Why didn’t you call on me?
Why didn’t you call on me?

N.C.
Why didn’t you call?

VERSE 1

Harry was a rich young man who would become a priest.
He dug up his dear father who was recently deceased.
He did it with tarot cards and a mystically attuned mind,
And shortly there and after he did find.
Jeanny was a spoiled young brat, she thought she knew it all.
She smoked mentholated cigarettes and she had sex in the hall.
But she was not my kind or even of my sigh,
The kind of animal that I would be about.

CHORUS

Oh oh oh, you keep hangin’ ‘round me,
And I’m not so glad you found me,
You’re still doing things that I gave up years ago.
Oh oh oh oh, you keep hangin’ ‘round me,
And I’m not so glad you found me,
You’re still doing things that I gave up years ago.
Alright now, uh-huh-huh.
VERSE 2 (SAME CHORDS AS VERSE 1)

Cathy was a bit surreal, she painted all her toes.
And on her face she wore dentures clamped tightly to her nose.
And when she finally spoke her twang her glasses broke,
And no one else could smoke while she was in the room.

Hark the herald angels sang and reached out for a phone.
And plucking it with ivory hand dialed long distance home.
But it was all too much sprinkling angel dust,
to A.T. and T. Who didn’t wish you well.

CHORUS

Ooh, but you keep hangin’ ‘round me,
And I’m not so glad you found me,
You’re still doing things that I gave up years ago.
Ho ho ho ho, you keep hangin’ ‘round me,
And I’m not so glad you found me,
You’re still doing things that I gave up years ago.

OUTRO

Hangin’ ‘round, hangin’ ‘round.
Hangin’ ‘round, hangin’ ‘round.
Hangin’ ‘round, hangin’ ‘round.

Jim, living with you’s not such fun
You're not the only one
You don't have the looks

You're not the person that you used to be

And there are people on the street that would go for me

And I said no, no, no, no, no Ba-a-by Face

And I said no, no, no, no, no Ba-a-by Face

[Verse 2]

I met you in a bar in L.A., I was not feeling so good
You did the proper moves, you did everything that you should

But now you’re making a mistake

And somebody else will take your place

You're taking drugs over me

And I said no, no, no, no, no Ba-a-by Face

And I said no, no, no, no, no Ba-a-by Face
And I said no, no, no, no, no Ba-a-by Face

And I said no, no, no, no, no Ba-a-by Face

[Verse 3]

You're not the kind of person

It’s easy to live with in a house

I cook all your meals, I make sure that you work out

But lately it’s been gettin’ so hard

(“Man, you don’t split your stash or your bread”)

The way you talk, ooohhh, the way you walk

(“You can keep it”)

And I’m not sure exactly what it’s all about

And I said no, no, no, no, no Ba-a-by Face

And I said no, no, no, no, no Ba-a-by Face
And I said no, no, no, no, no Ba-a-by Face

And I said no, no, no, no, no Ba-a-by Face

And I said no, no, no, no, no Baby Face
And I said now, no, no, no, no, no Baby Face
No way now, Baby Face, uh uh
(“You can keep it, just keep it”)

#
#I couldn’t believe that this wistful strummy song wasn’t at Nevada. So it’s
#here now. The original is played on the piano, hence the stupid key and the
#capo. But it’s only a semi-tone so why not play it without?

#Intro
Just a perfect day,
Drink Sangria in the park,
And then later, when it gets dark,
We go home.
Just a perfect day,
Feed animals in the zoo
Then later, a movie, too,
And then home.
Oh it’s such a perfect day,
I’m glad I spent it with you.[D/C#][D/B]
Oh such a perfect day,
You just keep me hanging on,
You just keep me hanging on.

Just a perfect day,
Problems all left alone,
Weekenders on our own.
It’s such fun.
Just a perfect day,
You made me forget myself.
I thought I was someone else,
Someone good.
Oh it’s such a perfect day,
I’m glad I spent it with you.[D/C#][D/B]
Oh such a perfect day,
You just keep me hanging on,
You just keep me hanging on.
(instrumental)
You’re going to reap just what you sow,[D/C#][D/B]
You’re going to reap just what you sow,[D/C#][D/B]
You’re going to reap just what you sow,[D/C#][D/B]
You’re going to reap just what you sow,[D/C#][D/B]
