Difficulty: Novice

A augmentedA       BB
So hesitation pulled me back
          A augmentedA
I'm stronger when I don't attract
          BB
In your eyes I'm a lamb without a rack
          A augmentedA
And I am getting confused
   BB            A augmentedA
I'm a cactus trying to be a canoe

As you pan for ore
        BB
In the desert, floored

I say to you

               F#F#         G# minorG#m
That I could never imagine a place so beautiful
            F#F#   BB
I could never steal your gold away.

    E MajorE        C# minorC#m
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
E MajorE                  C#C#
(I try to walk like a big wham bam

I came across like a battering ram
E MajorE                  C#C#
I try to float like a telegram sam

I'm trying to divine you

F#F#  E MajorE  BB
                 F#F#
My book is called "The Ascent Of Man"
                  G# minorG#m
I marked your chapter with a catamaran

The accent's off
   F#F#    BB
But I am what I am

    E MajorE         C#C#
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
E MajorE                  C# minorC#m
(I try to walk like a big wham bam

I came across like a battering ram
E MajorE                  C#C#
I try to float like a telegram sam

I'm trying to divine you.)

F#F#

BB A augmentedA D MajorD G+G F#F# E MajorE

I looked for you, it's my last grandstand
               G# minorG#m
A augmentedA motorscootered goat legged pan
          F#F#  BB
Figure eighting in quicksand

   E MajorE          C# minorC#m

A augmentedA            BB
So hesitation pulled me back
         A augmentedA
I'm so in love I don't attract
      BB            A augmentedA
And with my hands tied I won't crack
BB
('Cause in my mind I called you back.)

A augmentedA BB
