Tanita Tikaram - We Almost Got it Together
-----------------------------------------------
C G
We almost got it together
Am F
And I'll be your favourite thing
C G
Oh stand by the river with hard-luck eyes
Am F
And I'll just be open and sing
C G
And if I was telling you stories
Am F
I was only trying to surprise
C F
I wish I was like the frog princess
G | C F C G |
And I'd never tell you lies
C G
And down by the soil of the hard life
Am F
Oh they like to greet us with smiles
C G
They like to tell us their good hostess
Am F
Has travelled a million miles
C G
But you'd like it written closer
Am F
Yes, you'd like it written pure
C F
If I told you this, would you miss my kiss
G | C F C G |
Would you come right back for more
Am F
Oh, I'd like to be, what I wanna be
C G
But you want to carry on
Am F
But you need to take, what you have to take
G | C F C G |
But I'd still be here when you're gone
C G
And there's a light by your window
Am F
And I'd like to capture you by there
C G
And I'd like to hold you for all to see
Am F
But they don't really care
C G
And if I said you're no peccadillo
Am F
Yes, I said you're a major thing
C F
Would you stand by me, at the corner dock
G | C F C G |
And say, "Yes, this girl is the swing!"
Am F
Oh, I'd like to be, what I wanna be
C G
But you want to carry on
Am F
But you need to take, what you have to take
G | C F C G |
But I'd still be here when you're gone
Am F
And I'd like another cue
C G
That's why I strain to see
Am F
And I'd like the best in you
G | C F C G |
Cause you write the best in me
C G
And everybody was swinging
Am F
Oh swooning to the heart in me
C G
Oh they were sure that I'd be burning, yes
Am F
So their tart swerve to here might be
C G
But if I said "you're gold, inside, yes?"
Am F
And if you were true to me
C F
Would you hang around with that creepy smile
G | C F C G |
Crawl home back to me
Am F
Oh, I'd like to be, what I wanna be
C G
But you want to carry on
Am F
But you need to take, what you have to take
G | C F C G |
But I'd still be here when you're gone
