Outside The Palace

Violent Femmes


Tom: C

                      C     F
I've been outside the palace
                      C
I've been outside the gate
                                    G
I still don't feel that I made any mistake
        F           C    F
When I got off that train
                      C      F
I felt my feet hit the ground
                 C
I didn't want to go
                      G        F
Where that gravy train was bound
              C    F
God help me to see
                 C       F
I've been loved all along
                   C
And not to get too confused
           F          G           C
Between the moonlight and the dawn

[Verse]
                         F
If I go back to the palace
                          C    F
I'll walk right thru' the gate
        C                   G
Nobody knows how much here was at stake
F                  C     F
I might get on that train
                          C     F
Ill feel the wheel on the track
                      C                 G       F
Move it on up the mountain like a foregone fact
               C    F
God help me to know
                        C     F
I've been in love my whole life
                   C
And not to get so confused
             F     G         C    F
Between the struggle and the strife
