E|-------------------------------|
Intro:
F# C# G#m C#
I cannot say ‘oh sweetness’
F# C# G#m C#
like he could
F# C# G#m
cause I cannot play a lullaby
C# F# C# G#m C#
like it should
F# G#m C# x2
Verses:
F#
I used to cry but now I have to laugh
G#m
because she’s got that torment
C#
to a fine art
F#
smart like a foxy
G#m
and craf-ty-as-A-cat
i’m looking up
as i’m lying on my back
F#
bite the beast
if i want a big piece of the pie
G#m
but she’s taken the feast
C#
in the blink of an eye
F#
I can-not-jus-ti-fy
what’s going on
G#m
- it feels so right
C#
when it seems so wrong
F#
like a plot hatched
in the sweet spot of that trap
(G#m)
- ask what she’s schemes
(C#)
she say ‘oh this and that’
(F#)
then she snaps like a camera
in black with a flash
(G#m)
puts the drum in the drama
(C#)
the hand in the clap
F#
she’s a map with no bearings
attached - no
G#m
safety-in-this-match
C#
fire you can’t catch
F#
then zap I was struck by that
bolt before dawn
G#m
then by breakfast honey
C#
we was signed and sworn
G#m A#m B C#
F# C#
I’ll give you all night movie marathon
G#m C# F# C#
G#m C#
and a triple expresso so you can stay awake
F#
it might be late - but
C# G#m
it’s never too late for that lovin
C# F# C# G#m C#
my sexy babe
F# C#
something always telling me
G#m C#
‘save prayers before dawn’
F# C#
cos what happens when I’m with you
G#m C#
makes me shake my head then smile and yawn
F# C#
I’m worn out but I’m beaming
G#m C#
and it seems that we are dreamy
F# C# G#m C#
as we head out through that strange old morning door
(Verse Two)
(Chorus Two)
