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
