SUGAR MICE (Marillion)
Intro: | G | C9 | G | C9 |
G C9
I was flicking through the channels on the TV
G C9
On a Sunday in Milwaukee in the rain
G C9
Trying to piece together conversations
G C9
Trying to find out where to lay the blame
D
But when it comes right down to it there's no use
Am7
trying to pretend
G
For when it gets right down to it there's no one
C
here that's left to blame
D Am7
Blame it on me, you can blame it on me
G C9 G C9
We're just sugar mice in the rain
G C
I heard Sinatra calling me through the floorboards
G C9
Where you pay a quarter for a partnership in rhyme
G C9
To the jukebox crying in the corner
G C9
While the waitress is counting out the time
D
For when it comes right down to it there's no use
Am7
trying to pretend
G
For when it gets right down to it there's no one
C9
really left to blame
D Am7
Blame it on me, you can blame it on me
C G
We're just sugar mice in the rain

G C9
Ain't no one in here that's left to blame but me
G C9 G C9 G C9
Blame it on me, blame it on me
G
Well the toughest thing that I ever did
C9
was talk to the kids on the phone
G
When I heard them asking questions
C9
I knew that you were all alone
G C9
Can't you understand that the government left me out of work
G
I just couldn't stand the looks on their faces saying,
C9
"What a jerk"
D Am7
So if you want my address it's number one at the end of the bar
G
Where I sit with the broken angels
C9
clutching at straws and nursing our scars
D Am7
Blame it on me, blame it on me,
G
Sugar mice in the rain,
C9
your daddy took a raincheck
G C9 G
your daddy took a raincheck
