Straight [With Strings] chords and lyrics - AMANDA PALMER

Lời & hợp âm

[Verse 1]
[F]There is a boy in a band
[C]Who is friends
With my [F]French teacher's stepson
Sebasti[C]an
A very [F]nice [C]gentleman

[Verse 2]
[F]He seems to know me
[C]But i can't remember him
[Em]Good god forgive me
I'm [C]out of my element
[F]

[Verse 3]
[C]
And i can't seem to keep
them all [Em]straight
I've for[C]gotten which people i like
[G]And which people i hate
[D]And i'm waiting for[C] someone
to shake me and [Em]say
Hey bitch
You're [C]wish is my com[Em]mand
Just smile and [C]nod
We'll under-
[F]Standing in front of the sink
[C]I'm pretending to wink
[F]At pretend pap[C]arazzi
Who hide [F]in the [C]chemicals

[Verse 4]
[F]From every locket
[C]Behind every curtain
Their [Em]lenses ensure that I
[C]look lost in thought,
Yet approach[F]able

[Verse 5]
[C]But i can't seem to keep
them all [Em]straight
I've forgot[C]ten which ones i should skip
[G]And which ones i should take
[D]And i'm waiting for[C] someone
to shake me and [Em]say
Hey bitch
Don't [C]quit
You're almost [Em]dead
Don't give up [C]now
Make friends instead [F]of going [C]out
Go home
Instead [F]of getting [C]dressed go back

[Interlude 1]
to bed
[Em][C][Em]
[C][F][C]

[Verse 6]
[F]There is a voice on the phone
[C]Who's convinced i'm alone
[F]And I've called because I'm
[C]greedy
And looking for sym[F]pathy[C]

[Verse 7]
[F]He seems to like me
But i [C]can't relate
I [Em]would like to get closer
But [C]christ all the time it takes
[F]

[Verse 8]
[C]
And i can't seem to keep
myself [Em]straight
I've forgot[C]ten which habits to hide
[Em]And which habits to fake[D]
And i'm waiting [C]for someone
to shake me and [Em]say
Hey bitch
Nice [C]tits
You're broke but [Em]then
You're rich in [C]love
You're great in [F]bed
You'll see the [C]world
You'll knock 'em [F]dead
And all the [C]thick books that you've [F]read
Will count for [C]nothing in [Em]the [C]end[Em][C]

[Outro 1]
[C][F]
