Foy Vance – Roman Attack (Guitar)

C                  Em               G   C
We fell out by the side of the road

  C              Em
I came in like a roman attack

     G
Or a train off the track

         C
You were taken aback

C                Em             G   C
I was there for sharing the load

                 Em
I was there for taking the slack

          G
When your spirit was lacking

          C
And your soul was feeling shackled up

[Hook]
|Em  |G   |C   |C   |
           Ooh-Ooh-Ooh, Ooh-Ooh-Ooh

C                       Em           G    C
I was there to help the story unfold

                  Em
But I ended up a thorn in your side

         G
With my prickling pride

       C
And inarticulate drive

C                    Em             G   C
All you wanted was a glimmer of hope

C                     Em
And I exploded like a splitting of Adams

         G                       C
Even Eve couldn't fathom how we shrugged it off as happenstance

[Hook]
|Em  |G   |C   |C   |
           Ooh-Ooh-Ooh, Ooh-Ooh-Ooh

|Em  |G   |C   |C   |
           Ooh-Ooh-Ooh, Ooh-Ooh-Ooh

Em
It's hard to see it now

         G
But I remember once upon a time

      C
There was a world then

  C
There was you and I

Em                         G
Never dreamed we could be anything less than alright

C
Until the night when

C
I tried to pick a fight

Em               G
No apology could ever make it be alright

C
But we're still alive and

C
I still apologize

Em                  G
All you ever really wanted to see in my eyes

C
Was a little life to illuminate and empathize

C                     Em              G   C
I was shouting in the street I recall

C                     Em
You were armadillo in full effect

        G
Simply trying to protect

        C
All the space that he left

C                      Em                  G   C
You said "Didn't you hear about the call?"

C                             Em
And you're bombarding me with previous lovers

          G
And then devious brothers

     C
Like everything means nothing at all

Em
It's hard to see it now

      G
But I remember once upon a time

C
There was a world then

C
There was you and I

Em                         G
Never dreamed we could be anything less than alright

C
Until the night when

C
I tried to pick a fight

Em                G
No apology could ever make it be alright

C
But we're still alive and

C
I still apologize

Em                   G                     C
All you ever really wanted to see in my eyes

C

|Em  |G   |C   |C   |
           Ooh-Ooh-Ooh, Ooh-Ooh-Ooh

|Em  |G   |C   |C   |
