Intro:
F# C# Abm C#
I cannot say ?oh sweetness?
F# C# Abm C#
like he could
F# C# Abm
cause I cannot play a lullaby
C# F# C# Abm C#
like it should
F# Abm C# x2
Verses:
F#
I used to cry but now I have to laugh
Abm
because she?s got that torment
C#
to a fine art
F#
smart like a foxy
Abm
and craf-ty-as - A-cat
i?m looking up
as i?m lying on my back
F#
bite the beast
if i want a big piece of the pie
Abm
but she?s taken the feast
C#
in the blink of an eye
F#
I can-not-jus-ti-fy
what?s going on
Abm
- it feels so right
C#
when it seems so wrong
F#
like a plot hatched
in the sweet spot of that trap
(G#m )
- ask what she?s schemes
( C# )
she say ?oh this and that?
( F# )
then she snaps like a camera
in black with a flash
(G#m )
puts the drum in the drama
( C# )
the hand in the clap
F#
she?s a map with no bearings
attached - no
Abm
safety-in-this-match
C#
fire you can?t catch
F#
then zap I was struck by that
bolt before dawn
Abm
then by breakfast honey
C#
we was signed and sworn
Abm Bbm B C#
F# C#
I?ll give you all night movie marathon
Abm C# F# C#
Abm C#
and a triple expresso so you can stay awake
F#
it might be late - but
C# Abm
it?s never too late for that lovin
C# F# C# Abm C#
my sexy babe
F# C#
something always telling me
Abm C#
?save prayers before dawn?
F# C#
cos what happens when I?m with you
Abm C#
makes me shake my head then smile and yawn
F# C#
I?m worn out but I?m beaming
Abm C#
and it seems that we are dreamy
F# C# Abm C#
as we head out through that strange old morning door
