Am 
I had this dream we were in the resisitance
 
G 
Somewhere in France fighting traitors and facists
 
Am 
You were my mistress, yes you were a woman
 
G 
But I knew it was you by the shape of your mouth
 
Dm 
You called me Maurice and I had a small moustache
 
Played clarinet in a  
G 
decadent band, till we
 
C 
Hid in the bushes
 
F 
We shot from the bushes
 
C 
Made love in the bushes
 
F 
Like there was no
C 
tomorrow
 
Am 
But in my real life I’m a cocktail waitress
 
G 
Dodging mens’ hands instead of bullets
 
Am 
and you’re a bass player in the band that got a deal
 
G 
Dealing with assholes instead of explosives
 
Dm 
Still we’re grateful to be alive
 
Together fighting  
G 
side by side, as we
 
C 
Hide in the bushes
 
F 
We shoot from the bushes
 
C 
We love in the bushes
 
F 
Like there’s no tomorrow
 
C 
Drink from the bushes
 
F 
We’ll hide in the bushes
 
C 
We’ll love in the bushes
 
F 
Like there was no  
C 
tomorrow
 
Am

G 
We’d meet again in another life, and we’ll
 
C 
Hide in the bushes
 
F 
We’ll shoot from the bushes
 
C 
Make love in the buses
 
F 
Like there’s no tomorrow
 
C 
We’ll hide in the bushes
 
F 
We’ll shoot from the bushes
 
C 
Make love in the bushes

Like there is no

Genny came over and told me about Fred
 
He’s

such a handsome guy
 
And I

opened up and told her about Larry
 
And
C 
yesterday how he asked me to marry
 
I’m
Am 
not giving him an answer yet
 
I  
G

So we
Em 
laughed, 
 
co
