The Bumps Chords

(ver. 1)
David Byrne
[Verse 1]
B7sus4        Cm6     A#6       Am6
I could never be a professional lover
B7sus4        Cm6         A#m6
I don't even know what to say
B7sus4            Cm6         A#6         Am6
It doesn't really matter I'm drunk or I'm sober
B7sus4       Cm6         A#m6
Talkin' only gets in the way


[Chorus]
    D    C             F             A7sus4
But Iiiiii ride in the middle of the road
D  C        A7sus4 D7
Traffic all around me
D    C             F             A7sus4
Iiiiii have got a language of my own
C                          D7   C                        D
Ridin' in the back of the van waitin' for the show to begin


[Post-Chorus]
D6sus2          D7sus2  A7
Hittin' all the bumpity-bumps
D6sus2          D7sus2  A7
Feelin' it go thumpity-thump
D6sus2          D7sus2  A7
Tappin' on the window outside
D6sus2             D7sus2     A#m6
Now are they gonna let us to--night?


[Verse 2]
D6sus2         D7sus2           A7           A#m6
All the pretty girls have their own special language
D6sus2     D7sus2        A#m6
Anyone can see that they do
D6sus2       D7sus2          A7           A#m6
What do they mean when they whisper sweet nothings
D6sus2            D7sus2         A#m6
Keepin' all their boyfriends confused?

[Pre-Chorus]
    D    C                F           A7sus4
But Iiiiii don't have no reason or no rhyme
D  C              A7sus4  D7
None of them could find me
D  C               F              A7sus4
Feel like I have practiced all my life
 C                       D7    C
Nothin' ever happens on time, waitin' for the show is all


[Chorus]
D  C           F            A7sus4
Ride into the middle of the road
D  C            A7sus4 D7
Traffic swirls around me
D    C             F             A7sus4
Iiiiii have got a language of my own
   C                             D7       C                     D
I don't know what to do with my hands, I never had a very good plan


***(no chords for Verse 3 except A7sus4--notes are played on low E string)***


[Verse 3]
 D                C          D   C
Now the band is starting to play
D            C        D   C
I can sorta hear it okay
    D               C       D   C
Now I can feel the music inside
 D               C         A7sus4
Wanted, wanted, wanted to--night


[Chorus]
D    C              F            A7sus4
Iiiiii ride in the middle of the road
D C          A7sus4 D7
Traffic all around me
D    C             F             A7sus4
Iiiiii have got a language of my own
C                     D7
Any little music will do
 C                      D
Listen for a minute or two


[Post-Chorus]
D6sus2          D7sus2   A7
Hittin' all the bumpity-bumps
D6sus2          D7sus2   A7
Feelin' it go thumpity-thump
D6sus2          D7sus2   A7
Tappin' on the window outside
   D6sus2      D7sus2       D C F A7sus4
Now are we gonna go for a-- ride?
D   C   A7sus4   D7
D   C   F   A7sus4
C   D7  C   D7
C   D7  C   D7
