Ashe – 1925 (Ukulele)

Dm
A calm and cooling motion

      Bb               F
It's shaking off my tension

Dm
Surprise, surprise

     Bb             F
It's called being alive

      Dm
The answers to my questions

      Bb              F
Repeating; Have I mentioned

Dm            Am       C               F
I lied? Don't like the way I'm being tried

Gm          C               A        Dm
A lonely heart is what I'm slowly aiming for

Bb                     F
Forget what you see; leave it to me

Fm             A
I'll lead you there

     Dm
It's not about the money

         Bb             F
But the world doesn't agree

  Dm               Am
A bribe, a lie, a trick

                Bb
We'll hide the truth

                F
And they won't see

     Dm
As long as you have changed your mind

      Bb           F
Your soul belongs to me

  Dm
We have got no pride

        Bb     C    F
And no honor to be seen

    Dm
"A little; just a little"

   Bb              F
A lie or just a riddle?

   Dm      Am
Appeal, I feel

      Bb           F
But only if it's real

     Dm              Am
"It works in this direction;

       Bb           F
Let's take another exit"

       Dm
You cheat, I see

          Am     C     F
You're not the one for me

     Gm    C
The happiness of people

 A          Dm
Is such a fickle thing

    Bb
To bend and break

      F
The give and take

   G            A
Is too much for me

  Dm
Love is just the gum

           Bb            F
That we replace without a care

 Dm               Am
Had your heart forever

      Bb             F
Now another day is here

Dm
The puzzle pieces

    Am             Bb       F
Of our life will rarely make a fit

    Dm
But we take our chances

    Bb   C       F
And go along with it

       C
The pouring rain fills up your brain

    F
Again…

  C                                    F
It takes so much to weigh down your regrets

   Gm                              A         Dm  D
This life is drifting on the open sea…

       Gm          E                A
This boat is not enough for you and me…

   Dm              Am        Bb              F
Building up your fences to avoid the best you can

     Dm           Am         Bb           F
All the laws and morals understood by fellow man

   Dm         Am            Bb              F
If I could be on the other side then I would be

        Dm          Am           C            F
"Oh, hello!" I'd say, but you'd never look at me

    Ebm                          B              Gb
If you ever bother asking me if love is really true

         Ebm             Bbm         Db                 Gb
I would stare you in the face and say it's looking right at you

       Ebm        Bbm               B          Gb
If I really understood you better than you know yourself

           Ebm                  Db   Bbm    Gb
Then I know I'm perfect for you and nobody else
