Owen Pallett: Lewis Takes Off His Shirt
D
As soon as I got on the horse, I forgot about the math.
G Bm A
Forgot about the odds against an adolescent standing up to all of Owen's wrath.
D
The heat of prairie summer, impossible to take.
G Bm
I grab the hem and lift the fabric over my sweet head.
A
I know what you're looking for, and
D
I'm never gonna give it to you.
F#m
I'm never gonna give it to you.
Em A
I'm never gonna give it to you.
D
I'm never gonna give it to you.
F#m
I'm never gonna give it to you.
Em A
I'm never gonna give it to you.
D
Government rule established by a dazzling light show.
G Bm A
A hegemony armoured with a thousand-watt head and seven inches of echo.
D
I keep up my velocity, my spurs are in her sides.
G Bm
I don't know what I'm doing, and it is the only way.

Toward the range I'll ride, singing,
D
I'm never gonna give it to you.

I'm never gonna give it to you.

I'm never gonna give it to you.
D
I'm never gonna give it to you.
F#m
I'm never gonna give it to you.

D
"I am overrated," said the sculptress to the sea.
G Bm
"I've been praised for all the ways the marble leaves the man,
A
And I was wrong to try and free him."
D
And as for me, I am a vector, I am muscle, I am bone.
G Bm
The sun upon my shoulders and the horse between my legs,
A
This is all I know.
D
My senses are bedazzled by the parallax of the road.
G Bm A
I concentrate to keep contained the overflow.
D
My knuckles grip so tightly, my fingers start to bleed.
G Bm A
If what I have is what you need,
D
I'm never gonna give it to you.
F#m
I'm never gonna give it to you.
Em A
I'm never gonna give it to you.
D
I'm never gonna give it to you.
F#m
I'm never gonna give it to you.
Em A
I'm never gonna give it to you.
