Intro: B Gb E E Abm7 B
B Gb E
Gray, quiet and tired and mean,
Gb B
Picking at a worried seam,
Gb E
I try to make you mad at me
Abm7 Gb
Over the phone.
B Gb E
Red, eyes and fire and signs,
Gb B
I’m taken by a nursery rhyme,
Gb E
I want to make a ray of sunshine,
Abm7 Gb
And never leave me home.
Chorus:
E Gb
No amount of coffee, no amount of crying,
B Abm7
No amount of whiskey, no amount of wine,
Db E
No, no, no, no, no.
Ebm Abm Db
Nothing else will do, I gotta have you
E Gb B
I gotta have you
Bridge:
Abm7 Gb
The road gets cold,
E Gb
There’s no spring in the middle this year,
Abm7 Gb E Gb
And I’m the new chicken clucking open hearts and ears.
Abm7 Gb
Oh, such a prima donna,
E Gb
Sorry for myself.
Abm7 Gb
But green, it’s also summer,
E Db Abm Gb Gbsus4 Gb
And I won’t be warm until I’m laying in your arms.
B Gb E
I see it all through a telescope,
Gb B
Guitar, suitcase, and a warm coat,
Gb E
Lying the back of a blue boat,
Gb
Humming a tune...
