F |
If a feeling's born and no one complains
|
Well that's good luck
| |
running through young veins
And if life is a blessing
|
that brushes the tops of the trees
|
Well it's a short walk
|
in a sweet breeze
|F7 | |
I will need you, feed you, seed you, plead with you
F | |
All for the taste of your sweet love Thelma
|
If a heart is an open memory book
|
That was the chance I took
| |
The more I searched, the more shook with Thelma
Dm |C |
Last night I slept on a rented pillow
Dm C |Dm |
A silver moon above my head
|C
A thirsty dreamless sleep released me
|Bb
And I reached for the phone
|C |F | | | |
by the side of the bed
|
Now the first time that I saw you I thought
| | |
"She's beautiful, but she's too young to be caught"
|
People aware of my history
|
Trying to steer you away from me
|
I left a message at your hotel
|
Don't let management poison the well
|F7 | |
I will need you, feed you, seed you, plead with you
F | |
All for the taste of your sweet love Thelma
Dm |C
The phone is ringing and I realize
|Dm C |Dm |
we are timezones and oceans apart
|C
The words I speak in the middle of my night
|Bb |C |F | | | | | | | |
They fall on your yesterday scars
|
If the sun don't shine, the wind don't break
|
the clock don't jump off the wall
| |
Thelma, my darling, I will cushion your fall
|F7 |
I will need you, feed you, seed you, plead with you
|F | |
Without the taste of your sweet love Thelma
|
I am only a man who has skirted the edge of despair
| | |
for a long time now, and I don't care
Dm |C |
I watch you sleeping a the hospital bed
Dm C |Dm |
The baby curled up in a ball
|C
Winter sunlight hits the family tree
|Bb |C |F | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
And everything else becomes nothing at all
|
