transcribed by Tim Campbell tcampbel@gpu.srv.ualberta.ca
AI was tired of being Asus2put right down by my
Dself for not being what you thought you had found
APulled hard in Asus2two directions by a
Ddesire to learn and my old affections
AWhen I tried to share my Asus2world with you
Dyou could not seem to tolerate the
Apeople I have Asus2grown to love
DThey shrank under your scrutiny, became the ones you'd hate, why did
CHORUS:
Aeverything, Asus2every little thing, every little thing with you and
Dme have to be so political
AEverything, Asus2every little thing, every little thing with you and
D D A ( Asus2 D D A Asus2 D A E )*
me had to be so political
* (fill not played before third verse)
AI was feeling a little Asus2underwhelmed about
Dhanging 'round with you and feeling over-cautious
AEvery word, every little look, every littlAsus2e sign, every little
Dphrase put me deeper in your doghouse
AYou'd let me out to run Asus2across your world, I
Dran into a wall, you told me I built it then you'd
AReel me in, ream me Asus2out, pick me up, push me
Dout again, and then repeat, why did
CHORUS
EToo busy tripping on my tongue, to Dtry and stand my ground
I can Estill see myself crying in your lap asking Dyou
"Are you happy with the man you have found'"
HARMONICA SOLO:
A Asus2 D D (repeated 4 times)
AI'm grateful for what you Asus2did for me
I can Dsee things now I never would have seen
And toAday I thought about what Asus2could have been but could
DNever be for you and me because
CHORUS
