The Cure - The Real Snow White: chords

                  Bm
You've got what I want
Oh yeah!
It's only for the night
            G                        A
And I will give it back tomorrow I swear
               Bm
She can barely breathe
Don't stare
I know the dress is tight
           G             A
But it was all I had to wear
               Bm
Give me what I need
Please share
You know it's only right
             G
And I would never lie to you
            A
I wouldn't dare

Chorus:
D          A     Bm    A
I made a promise to myself
   G                   Em
I wouldn't start with anyone else but
 D              A             Bm
You know how it is with these promises
 A           G
Made in the heat of the moment
         Em                    C
They're made to be broken in two
              D             Em
Sometimes the only thing to do

Em
Oh no!
It's all coming back
       C                            D
How I came to in a sticky three-day hole
               Em
Didn't see the sign
Go slow
                               C   D
Too busy tuning static on the radio
                   Em
She hissed it in a song
Don't go
It always fades to black
             C
But that's why I love the trip
          D
It's so inevitable

Chorus:
G          D     Em   D
I made a promise to myself
   C                  Am
I wouldn't start with anyone else but
 G              D              Em
You know how it is with these promises
 D           C
Made in the heat of the moment
         Am                       F
They're made to be less than they seem
                            Em
Whenever you've got what I need

And you've got what I need
Aaaiiieee!
For service with a smile
I have to walk in on my hands
And roll for free
You say it's all the same
Ennui
You're not the real snow white
The real snow white is on my knee
I didn't need to get ID
It's simply minimum height
And getting all dressed up
In seven ways to please

Chorus:
I made a promise to myself
I wouldn't start with anyone else but
You know how it is with these promises
Made in the heat of the moment
They're made to be broken one day
If there's no time to get away

Uh-oh!
She wasn't made to shine
She was really only ever made to glow
I left her in the dark
No show
Quiet sucking on a line
It was a tricky gun to load
And I didn't get to fire
Hi-ho!
She's off to work for time
I should have finished out with higher
Up than low

Chorus:
I made a promise to myself
I wouldn't start with anyone else but
You know how it is with these promises
Made in the heat of the moment
They're made before right becomes wrong
Whenever you've got what I want

And you've got what I want
Oh yeah!
It's only for the night
And I will give it back tomorrow
I swear
