Marillion - Quartz (Less Is More version)
Intro: Em
Em F#m
I can imagine nothing more tedious
Em F#m
Than trying to have fun with you again
Em F#m
Maybe it's just something in my mind
Em F#m
But I hate feeling like I'm trying all the time
Em
It's a kind of lie
F#m Em F#m Em F#m Em F#m
When we pretend that we're still friends
Em F#m
And every time I smile d'you wonder if I'm laughin' at you?
Em F#m
And with every little grin you don't want to be wonderin'
Em F#m Em F#m
Just exactly what it is I'm taking pleasure in
Guitar melody: Em
Em
Although I always said
F#m Em
We were basically the same and all one
F#m
All one
Em F#m
It's so easy to persuade myself
Em F#m
That I'm clockwork and you're quartz
Em F#m
I'm clockwork and you're quartz
Guitar melody: Em
Gm Fm
You're only happy when you're oiled and jewelled
Ebm Dm
You're only happy when you wind me up
Gm Fm
And I know You're so reliable it isn't true
Ebm Dm
And it's so easy for me to break down
Gm Fm
If I could jump a ride between the skin and silicon then
Ebm Dm
We could join hands and understand. Hallelujah!
Gm
But I listen
Fm
to the ticking
Ebm Dm
I guess we're worlds apart ...
For this part, just follow the Gm/Fm/Ebm/Dm progression until the end, end on Em
It's so hard
So hard
So hard
