One Of Us Cannot Be Wrong
De akkoorden in dit nummer
(A)I lit a thin green (Bm)candle (D)To make you jealous of (A)me. The room filled up with mos(Bm)quitos They (D)heard that my body was (E)free And (F#m)I took the dust of a long (C#m)sleepless night And I (D)put it in your little (A)shoe And (Bm)I must confess that I (G)tortured the dress That you (Bm)wore for the (A)world to look (G)through. (A) And I showed my heart to the (Bm)doctor (D)He said, “You just have to (A)quit†Then he wrote himself a pre(Bm)cription And (D)your name was mentioned in (E)it Then (F#m)he locked himself in a (C#m)library shelf With the (D)details of our (A)honeymoon And I (Bm)hear from the nurse that he’s (G)gotten much worse And his (Bm)practice is (A)all in a (G)ruin. (A) I heard of a saint who had (Bm)loved you So I (D)studied all night in his (A)school He taught that the duty of (Bm)lovers Was to (D)tarnish the golden (E)rule And just (F#m)when I was sure that his (C#m)teachings were pure he (D)drowned himself in the (A)pool his (Bm)body is gone, but back (G)here on the lawn his (Bm)spirit (A)continues to (G)drool. (A) An Eskimo showed me a (Bm)movie He’d (D)recently taken of (A)you The poor man could hardly stop (Bm)shivering His lips (D)and his fingers were (E)blue I sup(F#M)pose that he froze when the (C#m)wind took your clothes And (D)I guess he just never got (A)warm But (Bm)you stand there so nice, in your (G)blizzard of ice Please (Bm)let me (A)come into (G)your storm. (A)
