"Suspended In Gaffa"
C A#
Out in the garden
Gm
There's half of a heaven,
C A#
And we're only bluffing.
Dm Am C
We're not ones for busting through walls,
A#
But they've told us
Gm
Unless we can prove
C
That we're doing it,
Dm A# Am Dm
We can't have it all. (I want it all)
C A#
He's gonna wangle
Gm
A way to get out of it.
C A#
She's an excuse
Dm Am C
And a witness who'll talk when he's called.
A#
But they've told us
Gm
Unless we can prove
C
That we're doing it,
Dm
We can't have it all.
A# Am Dm
(I want it all)x3
C (let ring) A# (let ring)
We can't have it all.
Whispered:
C (let ring) A# (let ring)
("I caught a glimpse of a god, all shining and bright.")
F Dm
Suddenly my feet are feet of mud.
C A#
It all goes slo-mo.
F Dm
I don't know why I'm crying.
C A#
Am I suspended in Gaffa?
F Dm
Not until I'm ready for you,
C A#
Not until I'm ready for you
C F
Can I have it all.
C A#
I try to get nearer,
Gm
But as it gets clearer
C A# Dm
There's something appears in the way,
Am C
It's a plank in me eye,
A# Gm
With a camel who's trying to get through it,
C
Am I doing it?
Dm A# A# Am Dm
Can I have it all now? (I want it all)
C A#
I pull out the plank and say
Gm C
"Thank ye for yanking me back
A#
To the fact that there's
Dm Am C
Always something to distract."
A#
But sometimes it's hard
Dm Am C
To know if I'm doing it right.
A# A# Am Dm
Can I have it all? (I want it all)
A# A# Am Dm
Can I have it all now? (I want it all)
C (let ring) A# (let ring)
We can't have it all.
(Whispered)
C (let ring) A# (let ring)
"We all have a dream...maybe."
F Dm
Suddenly my feet are feet of mud.
C A#
It all goes slo-mo.
F Dm
I don't know why I'm crying.
C A#
Am I suspended in Gaffa?
F Dm
Not until I'm ready for you,
C A#
Not until I'm ready for you
C F
Can I have it all.
C A#
I won't open boxes
Gm
That I am told not to.
C A#
I'm not a Pandora.
Dm Am
I'm much more like
C A#
That girl in the mirror.
Gm
Between you and me
C A# A# Am Dm
She don't stand a chance of getting anywhere at all. (I want it all)
A# A# Am Dm
Not anywhere at all. (I want it all)
A# A# Am Dm
No, not a thing. (I want it all)
C (let ring) A# (let ring)
She can't have it all.
(Whispered)
C (let ring) A# (let ring)
"Mother, where are the angels? I'm scared of the changes."
F Dm
Suddenly my feet are feet of mud.
C A#
It all goes slo-mo.
F Dm
I don't know why I'm crying.
C A#
Am I suspended in Gaffa?
F Dm
Not until I'm ready for you,
C A#
Not until I'm ready for you
C F
Can I have it all.
