The Lemon Twigs - The Corners I Was Locked Behind (When I Was There)
[Verse 1]
Em7 Am Cmaj7 Dm
Oh, you told me the way
Em7 Am Cmaj7 Dm
Even if it's clear when I say
Em7 Am Cmaj7 Dm
Fearing you know me this way
Em7 Am Cmaj7
On the day
[Chorus]
Dm Cmaj7 Bm F
When you sold me all the feelings that were on
G Cmaj7 Bm F
You were cold and strong, I couldn't carry on
G Cmaj7 Bm F G
Not so bold was I the corners I was locked behind
Cmaj7 B
When I was there
[Verse 2]
Em7 Am Cmaj7 Dm
Oh, you sat on our rug
Em7 Am Cmaj7 Dm
Oh, you gave out free hugs
Em7 Am Cmaj7 Dm
No, you can't with my brain
Em7 Am Cmaj7
Not today
[Chorus]
Dm Cmaj7 Bm F
With this hole in me, the weaknesses you see
G Cmaj7 Bm F
With the goal to be the ruler of the free
G Cmaj7 Bm F G
Not so bold was I, the corners I was locked behind
Cmaj7 B
When I was there

And I know that you thought I could myself

And it shows that I can't handle myself

And I know that you thought I could myself
Cmaj7 B Cmaj7 Bm
And it shows that I can't handle myself
[Outro]
Cmaj7 Bm F
In the final tale, we're over to prevail
G Cmaj7 Bm F
Like when you felt despair, there's nothing there again
G Cmaj7 Bm F G
Not so bold was I, the corners I was locked behind
Cmaj7
When I was there
