Ani DiFranco – Adam And Eve (Guitar)

Dm
Tonight you stoop to my level.

C
I'm your mangy little whore.

Bb
Now you're trying to find your underwear,

C
And your socks,

F
And then the door.

Dm
And you're trying to find a reason

C
Why you have to leave.

Bb
I know it's 'cause you think you're Adam

C                   F
And you think I'm Eve.

Dm
And you rhapsodize about beauty

C
And my eyes glaze.

Bb
Everything I love is ugly,

C
I mean really

F                   C
You would be amazed.

Dm
And just do me a favor,

C
It's the least that you can do.

     Bb
Just dont, don't treat me like I am

          C           F    C
Something that happened to you.

F  Gm Dm
I am

F  Gm Dm
I am

F  Gm Dm
I am

   F          Gm
Truly sorry about all this.

Dm
And you plot a tiny pin prick

C
In my big red balloon.

Bb
As I slowly start to exhale,

C                        F    Csus4
That's when you leave the room.

Dm
And I did not design this game.

C
I did not name the stakes.

   Bb
I just happen to like apples,

      C              F     C
And I am not afraid of snakes.

F  Gm Dm
I am

F  Gm Dm
I am

F  Gm Dm
I am

   F          Gm
Truly sorry about all this.

F  Gm Dm     F  Gm Dm
I envy you, your ignorance.

   F      G          Dm       F G Dm
I hear that it's bliss, bliss, bliss

Dm
So I let go the ratio

C                             F
Of things said, to things heard

Bb
As I leave you to your garden,

C                        F  C
And the beauty you prefer.

Dm
I wonder whether what of this will have meaning

C                               F
For you, when you've left it all behind.

Bb
I think I'll even wonder

C               F        Gm Dm
If you meant it at the time.
