Blame It On Cain Elvis Costello
[G]Once upon a time, I had a little money.
Government burglars took it long before I could mail it to you.
Still you are the [C7]only one.
Now, I can't let it slip away.[G]
So if the m[D]an with the ticker tape, he tries to take it,
[D7]Well, this is what I'm gonna s[G]ay:
Blame it on C[Em7]ain. Don't blame it on [G]me.
Oh, oh, oh, it's[C] nobody's fault[D], but we n[C]eed somebody to b[G]urn.
Well, if I was a saint with a silver cup
And the money got low, we could always heat it up or trade it in.
But then the radio that heaven will be wired to your purse.
And then you can run down the wave band, coast to coast, hand in hand.
[D7]Better or worse, curse for curse, don't be disatisfied[C].
So, you're n[D]ot satisfied[G].
Blame it on [Em7]Cain. Don't blame it on [G]me.
Oh, oh, oh, it's[C] nobody's fault[D],
But we n[C]eed somebody to burn[G].
I think I've lived a little too long on the outskirts of town.
I think I'm goin' insane from talking to myself for so long.
Oh, but I never been accused.
When they step upon your face, you wear that good luck grin.
I gotta br[D7]eak out one weekend if I do somebody in.
But ev'ry single time I feel a little stronger,
They t[C]ell me it's a crime. Well h[D]ow much longer?
Blame it on [Em7]Cain. Don't blame it on me[G].
Oh, oh, oh, it's[C] nobody's fault[D],
But we n[C]eed somebody to burn[G].
Blame it on C[Em7]ain. Don't blame it on me[G].
Oh, oh, oh, it's[C] nobody's fault[D].
But it j[C]ust seems to be his t[G]urn.

[C]Now [G]everybody's breakin' up some[C]body else's home,[G]
before somebody else starts [C]breaking up their own.[G]
I get you [C]in my d[G]reams.
You should hear the [C]things you [G]say.
It's not that it's [C]so much [G]fun,
but it's [Am7]safer that [G]way[F]. [F#]
[G]Sneaky feeling,[C] sneaky [G]feelings,
you can't let those kind of feeling [Am7]show.
I'd like to [G]get right through the way I[C] feel for [G]you,
but I've [Am7]still got a long way to go. [G] [Em7]
Why [C]don't we [G]call it a day, and we can [C]both confess.[G]
You can force me to use a little t[C]enderness.[G]
[C]White [G]lies, [C]ali[G]bis, [C]anything but say that it's true.[G]
C G c G
Now we could sit like lovers, staring in each other's eyes,
but the [Am7]magic of the moment might be[D]come too much for you. [G]
[G] Sneaky feelings, [C]sneaky [G]feelings,
you can't let those kind of feeling [Am7]show.
I'd like to [G]get right through the way I [C] feel for [G]you,
But I [Am7]still got a long way to go,[G] Oh I [Am7]still got a long way to go [G]. .
