 VERSE
 C              Dm          
 I'm going on a date tonight
 C               F                C  
  To try to fall out of love with you
                  Dm           
 I know, I know this is a crime
 C                 F            C 
  But I don't know what else to do
 
 C | Dm | C | F
 
 My love, you're in a magazine
 My love, you're doing fine, you're on TV
 You pull my heart out and then you run away
 Dm            C   F 
  You leave me pain
 
 CHORUS
 C                            Dm            
 When you're lucid you're the sweetest thing
 C                 F                  C   
  I would trade my mother to hear you sing
                              Dm            
 When you're lucid you're the sweetest thing
 C                 F     
  I would trade my mother
 
 VERSE
 On the bus radio,
 "Fifty ways to leave your lover alone"
 I laughed at the irony
 But life is stupid, the irony all lost on me
 It got lost on me

 VERSE
 You challenged me to write a love song
 Here it is, I think I got it wrong
 I focused on the negative
 The pain was too much to write and sing
 Oh, it was not a nice incentive
 
 CHORUS
 When you're lucid you're the sweetest thing
 I would trade my mother to hear you sing (X3)
 
 When you're lucid you're the sweetest thing
 I would trade my mother
 
     C         Dm  
 But she don't know
      C           F 
 Just how far I'd go
         C                  Dm   
 Would I walk for a hundred miles
       C                        F     
 for a glimpse of your northern smile?
