The Things I Say Joanna Newsom
If I have the sp[Am]ace[G] of[C] half a day, [G]
I'm ash[C]amed of half the things I s[F]ay.
I'm ash[C]amed to have turned out this w[F]ay,
and I[F] desire to m[G]ake am[Am]ends.
[Am] [G]
But [C]it don't make no di[G]fference, now,
and n[C]o-one's listening, anyh[F]ow,
and l[C]ists of sins and solemn v[F]ows
don't ma[F]ke you [G]any fri[Am]ends.
[Am] [G]
There's an o[C]ld trick played,
when the li[G]ght and the wine consp[C]ire
to make me think I'm f[F]ine.
I'm n[C]ot, but I have got half a m[F]ind
to maybe g[G]et there, [Am]yet.
[Am] [G]
When the s[C]ky goes pink in P[G]aris, France,
do you th[C]ink of the girl who used to d[F]ance
when you'd fr[C]ame her moving within your h[F]ands,
saying This I w[G]on't for[Am]get?
[Am] [G]
What h[C]appened to the m[G]an you were,
when you l[C]oved somebody before h[F]er?
Did he d[C]ie?
Or does that man end[F]ure, somewhere f[G]ar a[Am]way?
[Am] [G]
Our li[C]ves come easy and our li[G]ves come hard.
And we c[C]arry them like a pack of c[F]ards:
some [C]we don't use, but we don't disc[F]ard,
but keep for a r[G]ainy d[Am]ay.
[Am] [G] [Am]
