CAPO: 4th Fret
 
 
  
INTRO: G  C  D  G  Em  C  D  G  (2x)
 
         C              D        G
Too much singing for my living tonight
     Em       C           D        D7
To a song for friends and company
G               C               D         G
Too much is the matter with the giving on spite
       Em          C              D         G
Here's one for the giving and the other for free
 
 
               C         D       G
The straw that broke the camel's back
    Em     C      D           D7
Has blown upon my windowsill
  G               C      D               G
I may look beaten, but I don't look back
         Em       C          D       G
When you break my heart, you feed my will
 
 
BRIDGE:
            Em          G
This should be an instrumental
                          D
But it seems I've made up words
            Em            C              Em
Though they have a way of getting in the way
       D           Em
What a way to be absurd
       D            Em      G
It's a way of being heard
 
 
INTERLUDE:    C  D    Em          D  
           Ba da, ooh la la laa
 
 
    G           C               D         G
Too much is the matter with the giving on spite
        Em         C              D         G
Here's one for the giving and the other for free
 
 
         Em               G
Too much time for resting easy
                        D      
Not enough to sleep all night
        Em                       C              
And the shooting star I take for dreaming
         D                  Em
Wakes me down, the doctor's right
       D           Em
Is the doctor ever right?
 
 
INTERLUDE:
      G             Em  D
Oh oh laa, oh-oh oh-laa
      G              Em D Em C D
Oh-oh oooh, oh oh oh oh
 
 
   G   C          D           G           C
Oh god, I need to swallow you whole again
        D            G           C
I gotta mend the old soul again
      D           C      D
All I need is some inner peace
   G   C          D           G           C
Oh god, I need to swallow you whole again
           D            G           C
I've gotta mend the old soul again
      F            C     D
All I need is some inner peace
    G     C       D  Em   D
Oh, inner peace
G     Em      C     D    G
Oh-oh ooh, oh oh oh oh
 
 
         C      D      G
Give the soul a way to fly
Em         C       D       D7
Soothe the eyes of memory
      G       C          D        G          
Let's give it all for an answer why
       Em        C           D           G
If you reach the heaven, the spirit's on me
 
 
                 C              D        G
There's too much singing for my living tonight
     Em       C           D
To a song for friends and company
    G           C               D         G          
Too much is the matter with the giving on spite
       Em          C              D         G
Here's one for the giving and the other for free
