Foolish Games
Tom :Dm
Intro : Dm Bb F C (2x)
Dm Bb F
You took your coat off and stood in the rain,
C
You were always crazy like that
Dm Bb
I watched from my window,
F C
always felt I was outside looking in on you
Dm
You were always the mysterious one
Bb
with dark eyes and careless hair,
F C
You were fashionably sensitive, but too cool to care
Dm Bb F
Then you stood in my doorway, with nothing to say
C
besides some comment on the weather
Gm
Well in case you failed to notice,
Bb
In case you failed to see,
F
This is my heart bleeding before you,
C
This is me down on my knees
Bb C F Dm
These foolish games are tearing me apart
Bb C F Bb
Your thoughtless words are breaking my heart
Dm
You're breaking my heart
Dm Bb
You were always brilliant in the morning
F C
Smoking your cigarettes, talking over coffee
Dm Bb
Your philosophies on art, Baroque moved you,
F
You loved Mozart and you'd speak of your loved ones
C
As I clumsily strummed my guitar
Dm
You'd teach me of honest things
Bb
Things that were daring, things that were clean
F C
Things that knew what an honest dollar did mean
Dm Bb
So I hid my soiled hands behind my back
F C
Somewhere along the line I must've gone off track with you
Gm Bb
Excuse me, think I've mistaken you for somebody else
F
Somebody who gave a damn,
C
Somebody more like myself
Bb C F Dm
These foolish games are tearing me apart
Bb C F Bb
Your thoughtless words are breaking my heart
Dm
You're breaking my heart
Dm Bb F
You took your coat off and stood in the rain
C
you were always crazy like that............{fade out}
Morning Song
Tom: G
Intro: G G6 G Cadd9
Verse 1
G G6 G Cadd9
Let the phone ring, let's go back to sleep
G G6 G D
Let the world spin outside our door, you're the only one I wanna see
G G6 G Cadd9
Tell your boss you're sick, hurry get back in I'm getting cold
G G6 G D
Get over here and warm my hands up, boy, it's you they love to hold
C D
Stop, thinking about what your sister said
C G D
Stop, worrying about it, the cat's already been fed
D Dsus G
Come on darlin, let's go back to bed
CHORUS:
Cm G
Put the phone machine on hold
Cm A7
Leave the dishes in the sink
C#m G
Do not answer the door
D C
It's you that I adore
I'm gonna give you some more
Verse 2:(Mesmos acordes do verso 1)
We'll sit on the front porch, the sun can warm my feet
You can drink your coffee with sugar and cream
I'll drink my decaf herbal teal
Pretend we're perfect strangers and that we never met
My how you remind me of a man I used to sleep with
that's a face I'd never forget
You can be Henry Miller and I'll be Anais Nin
Except this time it'll be even better
We'll stay together in the end
Come on darlin, let's go back to bed
REPEAT CHORUS
Sometimes it Be That Way
Tom: G
G D
Night with its shattered teeth attempts to speak
C G *G*
My pen is present but courage left via the sink
G D
And I'm sorry I snuck up on you from behind
C G
I'm sorry not all my love letters did rhyme
D G
And I'm sorry that Jesus died for my sins
D G
And I swear to God it won't happen again
D D C C
And I'm sorry if it was my swerve that tempted you to sway
D G G
Oh well, sometimes it be that way
D C
And Romeo was a very nice man
G G G G
He said "Jewel, I don't think you quite understand"
D C
And I'm sorry if you had to explain it like this
G D
I'm sorry I was a point you were destined to miss
G D
And I'm sorry I spoke to you irreverently
G D
Down in the hollow by the old olive tree
D C C
And I'm sorry if my heart breaking ruined your day
D D G G
Oh well, sometimes It be that way
Chorus:
D/A G
I said "Oh well, I got nothing left to sell
D/A G
This love was a bell that rang unheard in the air
D/A G A A
I was bound to find out that you didn't care
D D G G
Oh well, sometimes it be that way
G D
And Aphrodite with her neon lamp
C G
Kissed Neptune they put her face on a stamp
G D
And I'm sorry I used it to mail a letter to you
C G
I'm sorry I'm glue and the rest bounces off of you
D G
And I'm sorry not even this jet's metal wings
D G
Could get across these simple things
D D C
And I'm sorry if I ever sang your name in vain
D D G G
Oh well, sometimes it be that way
D C
And Goldilocks, well she knew three bears
G G GG* GG*
They all ate oatmeal and tiptoed upstairs
D C
And I'm sorry I never got to find you like this
G D
Sleeping like a baby and swaddled in bliss
G D
And I'm sorry for all the times
G D
I forgot to imply something in between the lines
D C C
And i'm sorry if my heart breaking ruined your day
D D G G
Oh well, sometimes it be that way
Chorus:
I said "Oh well, I got nothing left to sell
This love was a bell that rang unheard in the air
I was bound to find out that you didn't care
Oh well, sometimes it be that way
G D
And shadow's long fingers they dance on the wall
C G
Electricity chases its tail in the hall
G D
And 'm sorry if my arms to you were just empty rooms
C G
I'm sorry I never could comfort you
D G
And I'm sorry St. Petersburg is a miserable town-
D G
And I'm sorry if I am bringing you down
D D C
And I'm sorry if I caused you pain
C D D G G
Oh well, sometimes it be that way
G D
And flame licks the air with its silver tongue
C G
Night has many hands but I have just one
G D
And I'm sorry I walked in on you unexpectedly
C G
I'm sorry I never served you Camomile tea
D G
And I'm sorry I didn't always have a match
D G
That could start a fire big enough for your heart to catch
D D C
And I'm sorry if it was my swerve that tempted you to sway
C D D G *G*
Oh well, sometimes it be that way
Who will save your Soul
Tom: Am
Am C
People living their lives for you on TV
G D
They say they're better than you and you agree
Am C
He says hold my calls from behind those covered crosses
G D
come here boy... there ain't nothing for free
Am C
Another doctor's bill, a lawyer's bill
G D
Another cute cheap thrill, you know you love him if you put him in your will
Am C G D
CHROUS: Who will save your soul when it comes to the flower
Am C G D
Who will save your soul after all the lies that you told, boy
Am C G D
Who will save your soul if you won't save your own?
Am C G D
Am C
We try to hustle them, try to bustle them, try to cuss them
G D
The cops want someone to bust down on Orleans Avenue
Am C
Another day, another dollar, another war,
G D
another tower went up to where the homeless had their homes
Am C
So we pray to as many different gods are there are
G D
flowers but we call religion our friend
Am C
We're so worried about saving our souls
G D
Afraid that God will take His toll that we forget to begin
CHROUS
Interlude - E
Am C
Some are walking, some are talking, some are stalking their
G D
kill... you get social security, but it doesn't pay your bills
Am C
There are addictions to feed and there are mouths to pay
G D
So you bargain with the Devil, say you're o.k. for today,
Am C
You say that you love them, take their money and run
G D
Say, it's been swell, sweetheart, but it was just one of those
Am C
things, those flings, those strings you've got to cut,
G D
So get out on the streets, girls, and bust your butts.
