• Song:

    The Connoisseur Of Great Excuse

  • Artist:

    Damien Rice

G
Of all the foolish things to do
           Em
I became a connoisseur of great excuse
    C9
And my pessimistic past the blame
     D4               D
Will never make this go away

G
Of all the foolish things I?ve said
     Em
That keep me sleepy almost dead
    C9
I?m sorry if I?ve let you down
   D4                          D
My eyes were closed, they?re open now

    G
I'm waking up
     Em
I am waking up
     C9
I am waking up
   D4    D
I awake

    G
And this has all been said before
     Em
I?ve listened but then I ignored
   C9
My ears grew deaf, My head gave up
    D4                    D
The junkie knows not when to stop

   G
Of all the foolish alibis
    Em
The constipated push for why
     C9
I?ve had a blanket pulled over my eyes
   D4                   D
Oh hush now baby don?t you cry

    G
I'm waking up
     Em
I am waking up
     C9
I am waking up
   D4    D
I awake

    G
I'm waking up
            Em
Coming I am waking up
               C9
I'm ready I am waking up
   D4    D
I awake
