Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

I cannot say ‘oh sweetness’

like he could

cause I cannot play a lullaby

like it should

x2

Verses

I used to cry but now I have to laugh

because she’s got that torment

to a fine art

smart like a foxy

and craf-ty-as--cat

i’m looking up

as i’m lying on my back

bite the beast

if i want a big piece of the pie

but she’s taken the feast

in the blink of an eye

I can-not-jus-ti-fy

what’s going on

- it feels so right

when it seems so wrong

like a plot hatched

in the sweet spot of that trap

- ask what she’s schemes

she say ‘oh this and that’

then she snaps like a camera

in black with a flash

puts the drum in the drama

the hand in the clap

she’s a map with no bearings

attached - no

safety-in-this-match

fire you can’t catch

then zap I was struck by that

bolt before dawn

then by breakfast honey

we was signed and sworn

I’ll give you all night movie marathon

and a triple expresso so you can stay awake

it might be late - but

it’s never too late for that lovin

my sexy babe

something always telling me

‘save prayers before dawn’

cos what happens when I’m with you

makes me shake my head then smile and yawn

I’m worn out but I’m beaming

and it seems that we are dreamy

as we head out through that strange old morning door
