Jonathan Coulton - Nemeses
Enjoy!!
E It's an amazing smile C#mB Even the suit has teeth E Everything flash and guile A And nothi ng underneath BG#mA Except a small black heart that no one sees but me F#mCAmBC I've been watching, I can see you start to wonder
EBG#mC#m Could it be that you need me F#mG#mAB To keep you out, to run you faster EBG#mC#m Promise me you'll let me be F#mB7F# The one, the worst of all your enemies B7F#m Pretending you're a friend to me B7EC#mB Say that we'll be nemeses
E Being a brilliant man C#mB Going to great expense E Devising a master plan A Doesn't make much sense BG#mA Unless you find the one you're destined to destroy F#mCAmBC Now that you're here I don't seem that crazy do I?
EBG#mC#m Could it be that you need me F#mG#mAB To keep you out, to run you faster EBG#mC#m Promise me you'll let me be F#mB7F# The one, the worst of all your enemies B7F#m Pretending you're a friend to me B7EAF#7 Say that we'll be nemeses
F#7 Ah yes, my old friend AB You are a master of this game F#7 The hidden blade when you pretend AB That you don't even know my name E Well played
EEC#mB
E Sometimes it's hard to tell C#mB If you even notice me E Maybe it's just as well A It's better you don't see BG#mA The way I'm running just to keep your back in view F#mCAmBC In your shadow waiting for the perfect moment
EBG#mC#m Could it be that you need me F#mG#mAB To keep you out, to run you faster EBG#mC#m Promise me you'll let me be F#mB7F# The one, the worst of all your enemies B7F#m Pretending you're a friend to me B7EC#mB Say that we'll be nemeses
