...LOOKING FOR CLUES... by Robert Palmer
-----------------------.................
*from 'Clues' (1980)*
Intro:
D7
Verse 1:
D7
It's crazy, but I'm frightened by the sound of the telephone, oh yeah,
I'm worried that the caller might have awful news, oh my.
Who knows these days, where on earth the money goes? oh yeah,
No doubt we could put it to a better use, oh my.
Verse 2:
D7
You keep insisting that nobody showed you,
How to keep relationships, oh yeah, your daddy made a real good try, oh my.
E7
You said you knew all along, we could work it out, oh yeah,
G7
Do you have to make a fuss, every time we fly?
D7
Oh, I'm looking for clues.
Verse 3:
D7
I have to make an effort, now just to be serious, oh yeah,
Nobody's gonna give you the benefit of the doubt, oh my.
Every time I pick a paper up, it's harder to believe the news,
Oh yeah, I'm gonna have to shake it up and twist and shout, oh my.
Interlude:
D7
Verse 4:
D7
You can't do nothing that you don't put your mind to, oh yeah,
I suspected all along you were a dream come true, oh my.
E7
I'm never in the dark, 'cos my heart keeps me well informed, oh yeah,
G7
I'm convinced that there's a way of getting through to you,
D7
Ooh, I'm looking for clues.
Solo:
D7
Verse 5:
D7
It's crazy, but I'm frightened by the sound of relationships, oh yeah,
I swear we could put it to a better use, oh my.
E7
Do hurry, baby, you've forgotten how to catch a night groove, oh yeah,
G7
You told all the callers you were not amused.
D7
Oh, I'm looking for clues.
Verse 6:
D7
You keep insisting that nobody showed you how to use a telephone, oh yeah,
Nobody's gonna give you a second chance, oh my.
E7
I don't have to make an effort now,
To find out where the money goes, oh yeah,
G7
Do you have to make a fuss, every time we dance?
D7
Ooh, I'm looking for clues.
Coda:
D7
Do ya do ya, do ya do ya, ooh, I'm looking for clues,
Ooh, I'm looking for clues, ooh, I'm looking for clues.
