The Fly

Rosie Tucker


Tom: D

             Bm
there's a fly trapped between
     G
the window and the screen
            D                                   A
does he know he only lives for the day
                Bm
and i didn't mean to let him in
                G
and i don't believe life is suffering
       D                                     A
but sometimes it sure looks that way

              Bm
if i could give a piece of me
    G
to bring your mind to me
     D                          A
i'd tear myself limb for limb
           Bm
but for now i stand between,
      G
the marter and the priest
                D                                                       A
'cause we know there's something sweet beneath the fear and trembling

[Chorus]
        D
and honey i know
                A
it's been a year of earthquakes
              Bm
and your heart is full of canyons
              G
and your hands have got the shakes
      D
but one day you'll wake up
                   A
and you'll be glad to be awake
                     Bm
you'll see your joy was never fragile
              G                 A
and your love was no mistake

[Verse 2]
                   Bm
and there's a dandelion sea
            G
growing in the cracked concrete
                D                              A
where the grounds got nothing to give
                Bm
and it's a miracle to me
                G
that where everything is ugly
           D                                    A
there's still room for green things to live

     Bm
so until laughings is easy
        A
were gonna laugh real hard
        Bm                                        A
and until we find a map we're gonna navigate by stars
         Bm                                 A
'til we got somewhere to go we’re gonna dance in parking lots
                Bm
'cause the folks that see right past you
                A
they've got half of what you've got

[Chorus]
        D
and honey i know
                A
it's been a year of earthquakes
              Bm
and your heart is full of canyons
              G
and your hands have got the shakes
      D
but one day you'll wake up
                   A
and you'll be glad to be awake
                     Bm
you'll see your joy was never fragile
              G                 A
and your love was no mistake
        A                   G
your love was no mistake
