Sparks Might Fly Mary Black Album: By The Time It Gets Dark Intro DAG DAG D Verse 1 G A D I cannot stop this child from touching me G A D I see no fault in watching her bloom G A D She knows where fire begins and where sparks might fly Em A D Yet I feel she may be consumed. G A D She done turns on the B stage G A D She shook hands when the shoe fit G A D I wanna know how the land lies C D DAG I'll let you in on a secret. Verse 2 I did not steal away when love rode by I did not let myself be unkind It's so hard to say where love meets lust I often think I'm losing my mind. I trade notes with the press league They send back their suggestions I wanna know where I come from But all I get are directions. Chorus Bm Em D I can't get started, can't get going What's wrong? Bm Em D Big ideas, the fine intentions They're all gone D C D It takes two flagons of courage Pounds, shillings and pence D C D DAG You wind up going nowhere It doesn't make sense. Verse 3 I see my brother's face grow dark with care I spend my time avoiding his gaze I pray that God might make his dreams come true I'd give so much to feel he's been saved. A bright spark in the playground Dead loss as an anchor You don't call him a misfit He's just stuck for an answer. Chorus Can't get started, can't get going What's wrong? Big ideas, the fine intentions They're all gone It takes two flagons of courage Pounds, shillings and pence You wind up going nowhere It doesn't make any sense. Chorus I can't get started, I can't get going What's wrong? Big ideas, the fine intentions They're all gone I can't get started, can't get going What's wrong? Can't get started, can't get going What's wrong? Bm Em D jams on this and fades
