Neko Case – Middle Cyclone (Ukulele)

      C          G       C G
Baby, why'm I worried now,

     C             G         C G
did someone make a fool of me

        C            G              C G   
'fore I could show 'em how it's done?

C      G       C     G
La la la la la,la la la, 

C      G       C     G
La la la la la,la la la 

C             G           C G 
Can't give up actin' tough,

     C            G       C G  
it's all that I'm made of.

       C               G          C G 
Can't scrape together quite enough

            C             G
to ride the bus to the outskirts

       C                G    C G C G C G C G
of the fact that I need love.

G          C             G
There were times that I tried,

         C
One for every glass of water

G       C                  G
that I spilled next to the bed,

          C             G      C
wretching pennies in a boiling well

      G            C
in a dream that it once becomes

G            C        G      C
a foundry of mute and heavy bells.

C             G            C G
They shake me deaf and dumb

      C               G        C G 
say, "Someone made a fool of me

         C           G              C G C G C G C G
'fore I could show 'em how it's done."

C         G          C G
It was so clear to me

        C           G       C G
that it was almost invisible.

  C               G           C G
I lie across the path waiting,

C           G               C
just for a chance to be a spiderweb

G                 C
trapped in your lashes.

     G             C            G         C                           
For that, I would trade you my empire for ashes.

        G            C               G 
But I choke it back, how much I need love

C      G       C     G
La la la la la,la la la, 

C      G       C     G
La la la la la,la la la
