Murder He Says

Tori Amos


Tom: A

 A         D        A
Finally found a fella
  A        B         E
Almost completely divine
  D    Bm     C#m
But his vocabulary
      D           B          E
Is killing this romance of mine

Bm       D         E          F#m
We get into an intimate situation
D                         E             C     E
And then begins this character's conversation

[Verse 1]

A
He says, murder, he says
  D         E
Every time we kiss
   A
He says, murder, he says
   D            B
At a time like this
    A
He says, murder, he says
    D          C#m       Bm    E
Is that the language of love?

    A
He says, solid, he says
    D           E
Takes me in his arms
    A
And says, solid, he says
     D           B
Meaning all my charms
    A
He says, solid, he says
  D           F#m          A
Is that the language of love?


[Chorus]

      D
He says, chick chick
       D
You torture me
       D
Zoom, are we livin?
         E                 A
I'm thinkin of leaving him flat

   F#m
He says, dig dig the jumps
        B
The old ticker is giving
  E            B          E
He can talk plainer than that

  A
He says, murder, he says
     D          E
Every time we kiss
     A
He says, murder, he says
     D           E
Keep it up like this
      A
He says, murder, he says
    C#m            F#m
In that impossible tone

   A         D     Bm       E
We'll bring on nobody's murder
    A
But his own


[Verse 2]

      A
He says, Jackson, he says
     D           E
And my name's Marie
   A
He says, Jackson, he says
    D             E
Shoot the snoot for me
     A
He says, Jackson, he says
     D        C#m      Bm    E
Is that the language of love?

   A
He says, mmmhmm
    D             E
When he likes my hat
    A
He says, tsk tsk tsk
    D              E
What the heck is that?
    A
He says, woo hoo! he says
     D         F#m           A
Is that the language of love?


[Chorus 2]

    D
He says hep hep with helium
     D
Now babe, we're cookin
     E                 A
And other expressions to wit
     F#m
He says, we're in the groove
          B
And the groove is good-lookin'
   E              B           E
Sounds like his uppers don't fit!

    A
He says, murder, he says
    D           E
Every time we kiss
   A
He says, murder, he says
    D           E
Keep it up like this
   A
In that, murder, he says
   C#m               F#m
In that impossible tone

   A           D     Bm      E
We'll bring on nobody's murder
    A
But his own
