Lullaby

Intro:
F#       C#      G#m        C#
I cannot say ‘oh sweetness’
        F#     C# G#m C#
like he could
      F#       C#     G#m
cause I cannot play a lullaby
C#      F#     C# G#m C#
like it should
F# G#m C# x2
Verses:
  F#
I used to cry but now I have to laugh
           G#m
because she’s got that torment
C#
to a fine art
F#
smart like a foxy
                    G#m
and craf-ty-as-A-cat
i’m looking up
as i’m lying on my back
         F#
bite the beast
if i want a big piece of the pie
          G#m
but she’s taken the feast
       C#
in the blink of an eye
  F#
I can-not-jus-ti-fy
what’s going on
     G#m
- it feels so right
        C#
when it seems so wrong
       F#
like a plot hatched
in the sweet spot of that trap
 (G#m)
- ask what she’s schemes
        (C#)
she say ‘oh this and that’
        (F#)
then she snaps like a camera
in black with a flash
        (G#m)
puts the drum in the drama
   (C#)
the hand in the clap
        F#
she’s a map with no bearings
attached - no
G#m
safety-in-this-match
C#
fire you can’t catch
     F#
then zap I was struck by that
bolt before dawn
       G#m
then by breakfast honey
       C#
we was signed and sworn
G#m A#m B C#
              F#              C#
I’ll give you all night movie marathon
      G#m                C#            F#  C#
G#m C#
and a triple expresso so you can stay awake
            F#
it might be late - but
     C#                     G#m
it’s never too late for that lovin
   C#     F# C# G#m C#
my sexy babe
F#               C#
something always telling me
      G#m            C#
‘save prayers before dawn’
         F#               C#
cos what happens when I’m with you
         G#m                C#
makes me shake my head then smile and yawn
    F#                C#
I’m worn out but I’m beaming
       G#m               C#
and it seems that we are dreamy
      F#                    C#                  G#m  C#
as we head out through that strange old morning door
(Verse Two)
