Grey Italian Streyhound

                E
I just settled into the glass half empty
made myself at home
            H
and so why now, please not now
                   E
I just stopped believing in happy endings
harbors of my own
C#m
but you had to come along didn’t you
F#
break down the doors, throw open windows
C#m             C#m7                      F#
oh if you knew just what a fool you have made me
   H         F#        E
so what do I do with this?

E                  F#
this stray Italian greyhound
                   G#m
these inconvenient fireworks
                                     F#         E
this ice-cream-covered screaming hyperactive thought
E                   F#
god I just want to lay down
                      G#m
these colors make my eyes hurt
                                       F#
this feeling calls for everything that I am
H
not

H
I’m not that kind
               E
I’m so good at shooting down any notion

this tired world could change

              H
it’s all been bought
or at least that was my line
          E
no use in spending all that emotion
when there’s someone else to blame

C#m
but you had to come along didn’t you
F#
rev up the crowd, rewrite the rule book
C#m                                        F#
where do I go when every ’no’ turns into ’maybe’
   H        F#         E
so what do I do with this?

E                     F#
this sudden burst of sunlight
                   G#m
and me with my umbrella
                           F#         E
cross-indexing every weatherman’s report
                     F#
I was ready for the downslide
                      G#m
but not for spring to well up
                                     F#    E
this feeling calls for everything I can’t afford
   F#
to know
   E
is possible now


C#m       H      F#
what do I do, do I do
                 C#m         H          F#
with a love that won’t, that won’t sit still
                   C#m
won’t do what it’s told
          H        F#
what do I do, do I do
       C#m         G#m      F#
with a love that won’t sit still

E F# G#m ://
E F# ://

H                      E
Please not now, please not now
           C#m
Please not now, please not


(now the offset get’s just to crazy for me to post correctly;)
