 F#                                    B               F#
Elope with me, Miss Private, and we'll sail around the world
G#m                          Ebm
I will be your Ferdinand and you my wayward girl
    G#m                       C#
How many nights of talking in hotel rooms can you take?
    G#m                              C#
How many nights of limping 'round on pagan holidays?
     B                                 Ebm
Oh, elope with me in private and we'll set something ablaze
  G#m           C#        Ebm
A trail for the devil to erase


F#                              B                    F#
San Francisco's calling us, the Giants and Mets will play
G#m                               Ebm
Piazza, New York catcher, are you straight or are you gay?
   G#m                           C#
We hung about the stadium, we've got no place to stay
   G#m                           C#
We hung about the tenderloin and tenderly you tell
          B
About the saddest book you ever read
    Ebm
It always makes you cry
G#m                 C#              Ebm
The statue's crying too and well he may


F#                                 B            F#
I love you I've a drowning grip on your adoring face
  G#m                     Ebm
I love you my responsibility has found a place
  G#m                                 C#
Beside you and strong warnings in the guise of gentle words
     G#m                          C#
Come wave upon me from the family wider net absurd
             B                                Ebm
"You'll take care of her, I know it, you will do a better job"
G#m        C#             Ebm
Maybe, but not what she deserves


 F#                                  B                F#
Elope with me Miss Private and we'll drink ourselves awake
      G#m                          Ebm
We'll taste the coffee houses and award certificates
  G#m                            C#
A privy seal to keep the feel of 1960's style
      G#m                            C#
We'll comment on the decor and we'll help the passer by
       B                               Ebm
And at dusk when work is over we'll continue the debate
     G#m              C#           Ebm
In a borrowed bedroom virginal and spare


    F#                        B             F#
The catcher hits for .318 and catches every day
    G#m                             Ebm
The pitcher puts religion first and rests on holidays
   G#m                           C#
He goes into cathedrals and lies prostrate on the floor
   G#m                                    C#
He knows the drink affects his speed he's praying for a doorway
       B                               Ebm
Back into the life he wants and the confession of the bench
G#m              C#           Ebm
Life outside the diamond is a wrench


  F#                                 B                 F#
I wish that you were here with me to pass the dull weekend
  G#m                               Ebm
I know it wouldn't come to love, my heroine pretend
  G#m                             C#
A lady stepping from the songs we love until this day
      G#m                         C#
You'd settle for an epitaph like "Walk Away, Renee"
         B                                Ebm
The sun upon the roof in winter will draw you out like a flower
G#m             C#           Ebm
Meet you at the statue in an hour
Meet you at the statue in an hour
