Suzzy Roche - Eggshell
[Intro]
C F C Am C Am
[Verse 1]
C Am
I live in an eggshell
C Am Dm
Sometimes, if I'm careful
F
I can make a pinpoint through the shell
C Am C Am
Oh, oh, oh, oh, and see the light
C G F E7 F E7
I am too big to fit through the hole, though
F C F G C
That's my tough luck
[Verse 2]
Am C Am
Inside an eggshell
Dm
I am secure
F
Long as I'm careful (take care)
C Am C Am
Oh, oh, oh, oh, not to move
C Am
But I have no control over what happens from the outside
Dm F
I huddle there, worry about something I can't see
C Am C Am
Oh, oh, oh, oh, will bump into me
[Verse 3]
F Am G Am
When it does, you wouldn't believe what happens in an eggshell then
Dm C G C G C G C G F
I get scrambled, my brains run like bean soup into my veins
C G/B F Dm F
Bursting them and my blood spatters up against the wall
C Am C Am
Worst of all
Dm7 Em F Dm7
A little bit of me seeps through cracks and trickles away, forever
[Verse 4]
G E7 F E7 Dm C F Dm7 G C Am C
People who live in eggshells have only one alternative
Am Dm G Dm F
They can get hard boiled
Am C Am C Am C
Hard, hard boiled
