Strange Weirdos - Music from and Inspired By the Film Knocked Up" [Intro] C [Verse 1]
  C                        Am
I know that fan is moving air

Em            G
 I can see it in your hair

    Dm              F                 Am
But I can't bear to breathe it in somehow

                Dm
..I'll rise and fall with you

F                          C
 'Cause you can't fail me now

                 Dm
..I'll rise and fall with you

F                          C
 'Cause you can't fail me now
[Verse 2]
C                   Am
 The salt is sweet upon my mouth

Em                   G
 Dark throws sparks against my house

    Dm               F               Am
The stain of love's a smudge upon my brow

Dm
 But you see through me

F                       C
 And you can't fail me now

Dm
 You see right through me

F                       C
 And you can't fail me now
[Verse 3]
C                       Am
 I've bit off more than I can chew

Em                     G
 It's something that I tend to do

    Dm               F            Am
When fewer words are what we need, and how

Dm
 You bite my tongue

F                       C
 And you can't fail me now

Dm
 I ran to the rail

F                       C
 But you can't fail me now
[Solo] | C Am | Em G | Dm F | Am | | Dm F | C | Dm F | C | C | [Bridge]
    F                 G
I've lost the thread among the vines

    C      G/B           Am
And hung myself in story lines

     F                              C
That tell the tales I never would allow

    F                 G
God knows the name of every bird

     C         G/B      Am
That fills my mind like angry words

F                                  G
 But you know all my secret heart avows
[Verse 4]
      C                  Am
We're taught to love the worst of us

Em                   G
 And mercy more than life but trust me

   Dm                  F                Am
Mercy's just a warning shot across the bow

Dm
 I live for yours

F                        C
 And you can't fail me now

       Dm              F   C
I live for your mercy...

Em                 Am    G
 You can't fail me now

F                  C
You can't fail me now
