Tanita Tikaram   -   We Almost Got it Together
-----------------------------------------------
WCe almost got it togGether 
And IAm'll be your favourite thFing
Oh stCand by the river with hGard-luck eyes 
And IAm'll just be open and sFing
And iCf I was telling you stGories 
I was oAmnly trying to surprFise
I wCish I was like the frFog princess 
                     G|  C   F   C   G|
And I'd never tell you lies
And dCown by the soil of the hGard life 
Oh tAmhey like to greet us with smFiles  
ThCey like to tell us their goGod hostess 
Has trAmavelled a million mFiles
But yCou'd like it written clGoser
Yes, yAmou'd like it written pFure
If I tCold you this, would you mFiss my kiss
                            G|  C   F   C   G|
Would you come right back for more
Oh, I'd lAmike to be,  what I wFanna be
But you wCant to carry Gon
But yAmou need to take,  what yFou have to take  
                                G|  C   F   C   G|         
But I'd still be here when you're gone
And thCere's a light by your wGindow 
And I'd lAmike to capture you bFy there 
And I'd lCike to hold you for aGll to see  
But tAmhey don't really cFare
And if CI said you're no peccadGillo 
Yes, AmI said you're a major thFing
Would yoCu stand by me,  at thFe corner dock  
                               G|  C   F   C   G|
And say, "Yes, this girl is the swing!"
Oh, I'd lAmike to be,  what I wFanna be
But you wCant to carry Gon
But you nAmeed to take,  what you hFave to take  
                                G|  C   F   C   G|         
But I'd still be here when you're gone
AmAnd I'd like anFother cue 
That's wChy I strain to sGee
AmAnd I'd like the bFest in you 
                          G|  C   F   C   G|
Cause you write the best in me
And eCverybody was swGinging 
Oh swAmooning to the heart in mFe
Oh thCey were sure that I'd be bGurning, yes
So their tAmart swerve to here might bFe
But if CI said "you're gold, insGide, yes?"
And Amif you were true to mFe
Would you Chang around with that cFreepy smile
                 G|  C   F   C   G|
Crawl home back to me
Oh, I'd lAmike to be,  what I wFanna be
But you wCant to carry Gon
But you nAmeed to take,  what you hFave to take  
                                G|  C   F   C   G|         
But I'd still be here when you're gone

-----------------------------------------------

C G

We almost got it together

Am F

And I'll be your favourite thing

C G

Oh stand by the river with hard-luck eyes

Am F

And I'll just be open and sing

C G

And if I was telling you stories

Am F

I was only trying to surprise

C F

I wish I was like the frog princess

G C F C G

| |

And I'd never tell you lies

C G

And down by the soil of the hard life

Am F

Oh they like to greet us with smiles

C G

They like to tell us their good hostess

Am F

Has travelled a million miles

C G

But you'd like it written closer

Am F

Yes, you'd like it written pure

C F

If I told you this, would you miss my kiss

G C F C G

| |

Would you come right back for more

Am F

Oh, I'd like to be, what I wanna be

C G

But you want to carry on

Am F

But you need to take, what you have to take

G C F C G

| |

But I'd still be here when you're gone

C G

And there's a light by your window

Am F

And I'd like to capture you by there

C G

And I'd like to hold you for all to see

Am F

But they don't really care

C G

And if I said you're no peccadillo

Am F

Yes, I said you're a major thing

C F

Would you stand by me, at the corner dock

G C F C G

| |

And say, "Yes, this girl is the swing!"

Am F

Oh, I'd like to be, what I wanna be

C G

But you want to carry on

Am F

But you need to take, what you have to take

G C F C G

| |

But I'd still be here when you're gone

Am F

And I'd like another cue

C G

That's why I strain to see

Am F

And I'd like the best in you

G C F C G

| |

Cause you write the best in me

C G

And everybody was swinging

Am F

Oh swooning to the heart in me

C G

Oh they were sure that I'd be burning, yes

Am F

So their tart swerve to here might be

C G

But if I said "you're gold, inside, yes?"

Am F

And if you were true to me

C F

Would you hang around with that creepy smile

G C F C G

| |

Crawl home back to me

Am F

Oh, I'd like to be, what I wanna be

C G

But you want to carry on

Am F

But you need to take, what you have to take

G C F C G

But I'd still be here when you're gone
