EMOTIONAL – Paul Kelly
F              C            Dm              C
The days are getting colder
They stretch before me all in a line 
Each night gets a little bit longer 
And these stars that once were strange now I call mine 
AmOh, it's Gbeen so Clong sincDme I saw heGr face 
And I just can't find my way out of this place 
I Ftook the law into my hands 
You'd do thCe same from where I stand 
But the Fpunishment here is Cmuch worse than the cDmrime 
I gCuess I get a little Femotional someCtimes 
Each night I light a candle 
And I get down on my knees and I pray 
My home in ashes I can handle 
But not to see my loved ones losing their way 
If my tongue sounds lame please don't turn away 
Don't you see I'm losing it a little bit every day 
If you let yourself understand 
I'll give you my heart and hands 
Or else the punishment will be much worse than the crime 
I know I get a little emotional sometimes 
Do you blame me if I get a little emotional sometimes? 
Don't act so surprised if I get a little emotional sometimes

EMOTIONAL – Paul Kelly

F C Dm C

The days are getting colder

They stretch before me all in a line

Each night gets a little bit longer

And these stars that once were strange now I call mine

Am G C Dm G

Oh, it's been so long since I saw her face

And I just can't find my way out of this place

I took the law into my hands

You'd do the same from where I stand

F C Dm

But the punishment here is much worse than the crime

C F C

I guess I get a little emotional sometimes

Each night I light a candle

And I get down on my knees and I pray

My home in ashes I can handle

But not to see my loved ones losing their way

If my tongue sounds lame please don't turn away

Don't you see I'm losing it a little bit every day

If you let yourself understand

I'll give you my heart and hands

Or else the punishment will be much worse than the crime

I know I get a little emotional sometimes

Do you blame me if I get a little emotional sometimes?

Don't act so surprised if I get a little emotional sometimes
