SWEET LAMENT Capo 2 (I've kinda changed the chords to this song over time, but this should be accurate to the album version.) C Em G F C Em G G G7 G7
CDo Emyou GeveFr shake, noticing that you are still CAwaEmke, GthaFt everything around you is CReaEml, IG'm Freally this old, this is how I look and CFeeEml, wGherFe'd time go and who am I?
C Em G G G7 G7
CButEm eveGn sFo, I've tendencies I can't seem to COutEmgrowG, lFike this overwhelming fear of the dark CPlaEmnninGg cFonversations I won't CStaEmrt, GI'mF terrified of what might be.
C Em G G G7 G7 CHORUS
AmAnd GwitFh oGne lamenting yell, we all retreat within ourselves AmAnd Gwe CsayG "Oh well, we tried" FCouCld have tried a little harder FShoGuld have been a little smarter AmBut Gif God don't have a plan, neither do I.
C Em G F C Em G G G7 G7 We try so hard To make up for all the things we aren't Like the way I yell at the TV Every night while watching Jeopardy Though I won't make a single dime. CHORUS So with one lamenting yell We all retreat within ourselves And we say "My God, how we tried" But God is but a man With a martini in is hand If these stars don't hold my fate Neither do I. BRIDGE
AmHearGts afire aren't happier FNo,G hearts afire aren't happier AmTheyG alCl fGizzle out fast in the end FRacCing minds aren't happier FNo,G racing minds aren't happier Am'CosC thGey'Gre G7all G7dead last in the end.
CHORUS So with one lamenting yell We retreat within ourselves And we say "My God, how we tried" But God is but a man With a martini in his hand If love gets to be blind Then so do I. --------------------------------------------------------------------------
