I cannot stop this child from touching me

I see no fault in watching her bloom
G+G A augmentedA D MajorD
She knows where fire begins and where sparks might fly

Yet I feel she may be consumed.
G+G A augmentedA D MajorD
She done turns on the BB stage
G+G A augmentedA D MajorD
She shook hands when the shoe fit

I wanna know how the land lies
C majorC D MajorD DAG
I'll let you in on a secret.
Verse 2
I did not steal away when love rode by
I did not let myself be unkind
It's so hard to say where love meets lust
I often think I'm losing my mind.
I trade notes with the press league
They send back their suggestions
I wanna know where I come from
But all I get are directions.

Verse 3
I see my brother's face grow dark with care
I spend my time avoiding his gaze
I pray that God might make his dreams come true
I'd give so much to feel he's been saved.
A augmentedA bright spark in the playground
Dead loss as an anchor
You don't call him a misfit
He's just stuck for an answer.
Chorus
Can't get started, can't get going What's wrong?
Big ideas, the fine intentions They're all gone
It takes two flagons of courage Pounds, shillings and pence
You wind up going nowhere It doesn't make any sense.
Chorus
I can't get started, I can't get going What's wrong?
Big ideas, the fine intentions They're all gone
I can't get started, can't get going What's wrong?
Can't get started, can't get going What's wrong?
