Elvis Costello – Someone Took The Words Away (Guitar Solo)

     F
Poor head

    Bbm            F        Bbmaj7
Can hardly move my lips for speaking

  F    Bbmaj7
I said

                         F       E
So, what is this thing I can’t explain?

    Am     E                           A           D
I'd blame    all the things I feel but can't quite place

   Gm           C       F     E
Perhaps they're written on my face

E       B6       B      E
Someone took the words away

Cmaj7                          B/C
Why don't you speak up and say what you mean?

Em7       Dm7             Cmaj7
Summon my powers of conversation

  Fmaj7
I talk to myself,

    Em7
I'm fine

             Am7(add11)
When you're around,

         Dm7           G6/9
Then I decline the invitation

     F          Bbm            F       Bbmaj7
It's strange to finally find myself so tongue-tied

  F      Bbmaj7
A change        has come over me

    F         E    Am
I'm powerless to express

E                        A      D
  Every thing I know but cannot speak

D7  Gm   C      F          E
And if I try my voice will break

E       B6       B      E
Someone took the words away

E       B6       B      E
Someone took the words away
