The Chord

from Quite Contrary by Old Man Mike

/

lyrics

I wish I would play something natural
So my eyes could get around it
And I wouldn't be so lost and confused
And I'd have something to say about it

Except for all of these empty times
Waiting for the ends coming up and about
But it never seems to come because I'm waiting around now.
But the chord never comes in
Didn't know the way
But you still, I'm still, waiting here singing this same old silly song out.

Said I'm waiting for the chord now
Think, I think I'm coming in now
I don't know what I would have said now
I would, hey, I said what you think now?

Now here's a chord now
You'd like the chord now
Well play it on down
Every night, every day every last sound

Heres the chord again
You like the chord now
I want to play it now
Did you hear it now?
Well there the chord now
I hope you're lying down

Well there they goes now what I haven't didn't even know what you was caring about
There's the chord now
Yeah
There's the chord now
There he is, that chord now
In goes it down, down
