Accidentally Like A Martyr

Words & Music

Warren Zevon

 

[Capo 3]

 

D   A/C#        Bm    D/A    Em7      D             G

The phone don't ring, no, no and the sun refused to shine.

G                         A   Bm A  G

Never thought I'd have to pay so dearly.

Em           D       G    Bm7     E7                A

For what was already mine---- for such a long, long time.

 

CHORUS:

        D         A            G                D

We made mad love, shadow love, random love and abandoned love

D                   A

Accidentally like a martyr.

C             G             D

The hurt gets worse and the heart gets harder.  [repeat entire chorus]

 

The days slide by.  "Should have done, should have done," we all sigh.

Never thought I'd ever be so lonely

After such a long, long time; time out of mind.

 

CHORUS:
