French Navy Chords

(ver. 2)
Camera Obscura
G  Am 

                        Am  G  
Spent a week in a dusty library
                        G  Am   
Waiting for some words to jump at me
                         Am  G
We met by a trick of fate
                            C
French navy my sailor mate
              G
We met by the moon at the silvery lake
            C
You came my way 
                       G
I said, "I want you to stay"




Am
You with your dietary restrictions
G
Said you loved me with a lot of conviction
Am
I was waiting to be struck by lightning
G                                    C
Waiting for somebody exciting like you
                       G
Oh the thing that you do
                C
You make me go woo
                         G
With the things that you do you do you do



               Am
I wanted to control it
                    C
But love I couldn't hold it
               Am
I wanted to control it
                    C     D
But love I couldn't hold it


 

Am
I'll be criticized for lending out my art
G
I was criticized for letting you break my heart
Am
Why wouldn't I stand for disappointed looks?
G                                C                    G
I'm fully grown but I'm on tenterhooks with the looks
         C                    G
On tenterhooks, ooh, with the looks the looks the looks


 

               Am
I wanted to control it
                    C
But love I couldn't hold it
               Am
I wanted to control it
                    C     D
But love I couldn't hold it

 

Am - G (repeat)




Am                                     Am  G
Relationships were something I used to do
                                       G  Am
Convince me they are better for me and you
                         Am  G
We met by a trick of fate
                       
French navy my sailor mate


[chorus]

               Am
I wanted to control it
                    C
But love I couldn't hold it
               Am
I wanted to control it
                    C     
But love I couldn't hold it
               Am
I wanted to control it
                    C
But love I couldn't hold it
               Am
I wanted to control it
                    C     D
But love I couldn't hold it
