from the songs album Squeezing Out Sparks


pre>(this was originally on the olga - sorry i've lost the author credit)

Intro- e a b e a b e
B c#m
Did they tear it out, with talons of steel
G#m a
And give you a shot, so that you wouldn't feel
B e a b e
And wash it away, as if it wasn't real

B c#m
It's just a mistake, i won't have to face
G#m a
Don't give it a name, don't give it a place
B e
Don't give it a chance, it's lucky in a way

A b
It must have felt strange, to find me inside you
E a
I hadn't intended to stay
B
If you want to keep it right, put it to sleep at night
C#m a b
Squeeze it until it could say

Chrrus
C#m a b c#m a b
You can't be too strong you can't be too strong
C#m a b e
You can't be too strong
A e b e
You can't be too strong you decide what's wrong

B c#m
Well i ain't gonna cry, i'm gonna rejoice
G#m a
And shout myself dry, and go see the boys
B e a b
They'll laugh when i say, i left it overseas

E b c#m
Yeah babe i know that it gets dark, down by luna park
G#m a
But everybody else, is squeezing out a spark
B e
That happened in the heat, somewhere in the dark, in the dark

A b
The doctor gets nervous, completing the service
E a
He's all rubber gloves and no head
B
He fumbles the light switch, it's just another minor hitch
C#m a b
Wishes to god he was dead

Repeat chorus

A e b e
You can't be too strong you decide what's wrong
A e b e
Can't be too hard, too tough, too rough, too right, too wrong
A e b e
And you, can't be too strong
A e b
Baby you can't be too strong... /pre>
