Pleasure Principle

Sufjan Stevens


Tom: C

C         Am                 Em
  I never meant to cause you pain
C                  Am          Em
  My burden is the weight of a feather
C         Am                Em
  I never meant to lead you on
C                 Am         Em
  I only meant to please me, however

                     F             G     
An then you tell me, "boy, we can do much more"
 F           G
"Boy, we can do much more"
C           Am           Em
"Boy we can do much more together"
C           Am           Em
"Boy we can do much more together"

C                  Am           Em
 I'm nothing but a selfish man
C                  Am                  Em
 I'm nothing but a privileged peddler
C            Am                 Em
 And did you think I'd stay the night?
C                      Am          Em
 And did you think I'd love you forever?
                      C            Am              Em
And then you tell me, "boy, we can do much more together"

                      Dm           C 
I've got to tell you, girl, I want nothing less
Am           G
Girl, I want nothing less
C            Am                Em
Girl, I want nothing less than pleasure
C            Am                Em
Girl, I want nothing less than pleasure

                  F            G
I gotta tell you, boy, we made such a mess
F            G
Boy, we made such a mess
C            Am             Em
Boy, we made such a mess together
C            Am             Em
Boy, we made such a mess together
