Neko Case – Middle Cyclone (Guitar)

      A          E       A E
Baby, why'm I worried now,

     A             E         A E
did someone make a fool of me

        A            E              A E   
'fore I could show 'em how it's done?

A      E       A     E
La la la la la,la la la, 

A      E       A     E
La la la la la,la la la 

A             E           A E 
Can't give up actin' tough,

     A            E       A E  
it's all that I'm made of.

       A               E          A E 
Can't scrape together quite enough

            A             E
to ride the bus to the outskirts

       A                E    A E A E A E A E
of the fact that I need love.

E          A             E
There were times that I tried,

         A
One for every glass of water

E       A                  E
that I spilled next to the bed,

          A             E      A
wretching pennies in a boiling well

      E            A
in a dream that it once becomes

E            A        E      A
a foundry of mute and heavy bells.

A             E            A E
They shake me deaf and dumb

      A               E        A E 
say, "Someone made a fool of me

         A           E              A E A E A E A E
'fore I could show 'em how it's done."

A         E          A E
It was so clear to me

        A           E       A E
that it was almost invisible.

  A               E           A E
I lie across the path waiting,

A           E               A
just for a chance to be a spiderweb

E                 A
trapped in your lashes.

     E             A            E         A                           
For that, I would trade you my empire for ashes.

        E            A               E 
But I choke it back, how much I need love

A      E       A     E
La la la la la,la la la, 

A      E       A     E
La la la la la,la la la
