 E                                   A               E
Elope with me Miss Private and we'll sail around the world
F#m                          C#m
I will be your Ferdinand and you my wayward girl
    F#m                         B
How many nights of talking in hotel rooms can you take?
    F#m                             B
How many nights of limping round on pagan holidays?
    A                                 C#m
Oh elope with me in private and we'll set something ablaze
  F#m           B         C#m
A trail for the devil to erase
 
 
E                               A                    E
San Francisco's calling us, the Giants and Mets will play
F#m                               C#m
Piazza, New York catcher, are you straight or are you gay
   F#m                           B
We hung about the stadium, we've got no place to stay
   F#m                           B
We hung about the tenderloin and tenderly you tell
          A                              C#m
About the saddest book you ever read. It always makes you cry
    F#m             B               C#m
The statue's crying too and well he may.
 
 
  E                                A            E
I love you I've a drowning grip on your adoring face
  F#m                     C#m
I love you my responsibility has found a place
  F#m                                 B
Beside you and strong warnings in the guise of gentle words
     F#m                          B
Come wave upon me from the family wider net absurd
             A                                C#m
"You'll take care of her, I know it, you will do a better job"
F#m        B              C#m
Maybe, but not what she deserves
 
 
 E                                   A                E
Elope with me Miss Private and we'll drink ourselves awake
      F#m                          C#m
We'll taste the coffee houses and award certificates
  F#m                            B
A privy seal to keep the feel of 1960's style
      F#m                            B
We'll comment on the decor and we'll help the passer by
       A                               C#m
And at dusk when work is over we'll continue the debate
     F#m              B            C#m
In a borrowed bedroom virginal and spare
 
 
    E                         A             E
The catcher hits for. 318 and catches every day
    F#m                             C#m
The pitcher puts religion first and rests on holidays
   F#m                           B
He goes into cathedrals and lies prostrate on the floor
   F#m                                    B
He knows the drink affects his speed he's praying for a doorway
       A                               C#m
Back into the life he wants and the confession of the bench
F#m              B            C#m
Life outside the diamond is a wrench
 
 
  E                                  A                E
I wish that you were here with me to pass the dull weekend
  F#m                               C#m
I know it wouldn't come to love, my heroine pretend
  F#m                             B
A lady stepping from the songs we love until this day
      F#m                         B
You'd settle for an epitaph like "Walk Away, Renee"
         A                                C#m
The sun upon the roof in winter will draw you out like a flower
     F#m             B            C#m
I'll meet you at the statue in an hour
F#m             B            C#m
Meet you at the statue in an hour
