Gregory Alan Isakov – One Of Us Cannot Be Wrong (Ukulele)

A                   Bm
I lit a thin green candle

D                      A
To make you jealous of me.

A                         Bm
The room filled up with mosquitos

       D                     E
They heard that my body was free

F#m                       C#m
And I took the dust of a long sleepless night

       D                     A
And I put it in your little shoe

Bm                         G
And I must confess that I tortured the dress

         Bm            A              G           A
That you wore for the world to look through.

A                             Bm
And I showed my heart to the doctor

D                           A
He said, “You just have to quit”

A                           Bm
Then he wrote himself a prescription

A                              E
And your name was mentioned in it

F#m                          C#m
Then he locked himself in a library shelf

          D                A
With the details of our honeymoon

Bm                               G
I hear from the nurse that he’s gotten much worse

        Bm           A        G          A
And his practice is all in a ruin.

A                           Bm
I once knew a saint who had loved you

D                           A
I studied all night in his school

A                           Bm
He taught that the duty of lovers 

        D                  E
Was to tarnish the golden rule.

F#m                                C#m
And just when I was sure that his teachings were pure

      D                    A
he drowned himself in the pool

      Bm                   G
his body is gone, but out here on the lawn

Bm          A           G        A
his spirit continues to drool.

A                     Bm
An Eskimo showed me a movie

D                       A
He’d recently taken of you

A                               Bm
The poor man could hardly stop shivering

A                              E
His lips and his fingers were blue

F#m                              C#m
I suppose that he froze when the wind took your clothes

      D                       A
And I guess he just never got warm

Bm                                    G
But you stand there so nice, in your blizzard of ice

        Bm          A          G       A
Please let me come into your storm.
