Chord/Tab song: The Things I Say

If I have the sp[Am]ace[G] of[C] half a day, [G]

I'm ash[C]amed of half the things I s[F]ay.

I'm ash[C]amed to have turned out this w[F]ay,

and I[F] desire to m[G]ake am[Am]ends.


[Am] [G]

But [C]it don't make no di[G]fference, now,

and n[C]o-one's listening, anyh[F]ow,

and l[C]ists of sins and solemn v[F]ows

don't ma[F]ke you [G]any fri[Am]ends.

[Am] [G]

There's an o[C]ld trick played,

when the li[G]ght and the wine consp[C]ire

to make me think I'm f[F]ine.

I'm n[C]ot, but I have got half a m[F]ind

to maybe g[G]et there, [Am]yet.

[Am] [G]

When the s[C]ky goes pink in P[G]aris, France,

do you th[C]ink of the girl who used to d[F]ance

when you'd fr[C]ame her moving within your h[F]ands,

saying This I w[G]on't for[Am]get?

[Am] [G]

What h[C]appened to the m[G]an you were,

when you l[C]oved somebody before h[F]er?

Did he d[C]ie?

Or does that man end[F]ure, somewhere f[G]ar a[Am]way?

[Am] [G]

Our li[C]ves come easy and our li[G]ves come hard.

And we c[C]arry them like a pack of c[F]ards:

some [C]we don't use, but we don't disc[F]ard,

but keep for a r[G]ainy d[Am]ay.

[Am] [G] [Am]
