NAILS IN MY FEET
(Neil Finn)
As performed by Crowded House on the album "Together Alone"
*Capo 3rd fret
My life is a hAmouse
you crawl through the wBdimindow
slip Eacross the floor and into the reception Amroom
you enter the pAmlace of endless Bdimpersuasion
like a Eknock on the door
when there's ten or more things to Amdo
Who is that calCling' F Em G
you my companioCn F Em G
run to the wateCr on a bFurning bEeach
and it Ambrings me rEelief
Pass through the walls
to find my intentions
circle 'round in a strange, hypnotic state
I look into space
there is no connection
a million points of light
and a conversation I can't face
Cast me off one day
to lose my inhibition
sit like a lap dog on a matron's knee
wear the Amnails on your fEeet Am E
<The chord progression over the solo is: Am E>
I woke up the house
stumbled in sideways
the lights went on and everybody screamed "Surprise!"
the savage review
it left me gasping
but it warms my heart to see that you can do it too
Total surrender
your touch is so tender
your skin is like watCer on a Fburning bGeach
and it brings me reliCef F Em G
Like a night in your Cmind F G
it brings me relief
in the back door
under the stars
and the scenery is my floor
in the back room
under the stars
and the scenery is my floor
Bdim x2343x
(I actually prefer Bm7b5 because it's easier to finger: x2323x)
The C F Em G progression on the chorus can be substituted with
C C/F C/E G for an interesting-sounding variation.
C/F 132010 (just an open C with F as the root)
C/E 032010 (likewise, you include the low E)
