Standard (EADGBE)

As I am preparing myself to say farewell to my pride again

 I remember how it was back then:

I'd see you light a cigarette, and then, you'd ask me to pass your asthma

inhaler.

 I'd say 'Don't you ever think about cancer'?

 You'd say 'Baby, you don't know but my heart is as strong as a drummer'

 'My heart is as strong as a drummer'

You make me feel like apologising for being like this:

 do I have to, say I'm sorry for my happiness?

You see it's like loving 'Graceland', it's not allowed to be but we know

 it's everybody's favourite,

 deep down in a place where, music makes you happiest.

 Deep down in a place where my heart is a drummer,

 In a place where my heart is a drummer.

And when you call me, on the telephone my fingers will twist right through

the cords

 and I'll slide my feet up and down the wall,

 but I know that I'm stronger than you are,

 but I know that I'm stronger than you are.

And when you call me, on the telephone my fingers will still twist through

the cords

 and I'll slide my feet up and down the wall,

 but I know that I'm stronger than you are

 but I know that I'm stronger than you are.
